Overall impression / comments: The taste was nothing special, kind of a Red Bull-ish taste, just the generic energy drink aftertaste. The Buzz was good and the duration was good, too...especially for a "bullet" can amount. Would make a great mixer or if you were supplying an office's fridge.

Overall impression / comments: Usually I wouldn't spend this much on a non brand name coffe based energy drink, but I had a hunch. Good thing I got it, because to date, this is the strongest energy drink I've had. I was shaking and running around my office for a good 2 hours afterwards. I don't know if it was because it was on an empty stomach or what, but I'd use this pre-sporting events, not necessarily pre-long night of studying.

Overall impression / comments: While the boast & buzz weren't terribly memorable on this one, the taste was GREAT. It kind of reminded me of Squirt, that soda with the grapefruit taste. But a little lighter. Almost like the illigitimate kid of Fresca and Squirt. There. That's the best description you'll get.

Overall impression / comments: The idea of carbonated green tea is a new concept to me. And not a friendly one at that. I love iced tea. I was considering making an iced tea blog. But that would be boring as hell. Back on track: bubbling iced tea is weird. The taste isn't bad, but the "texture," if you'd like to call it that is unsettling. A good pleasant buzz though, a great combination of quick boost and prolonged buzz.

Overall impression / comments: I'm still trying to get into the whole green tea enegry thing, but the carbonation really throws me. The taste I would say is a little better than other green tea energy drinks, but the pomegranate gives it a little something extra. Maybe the taste just hides the fact that it's tea, and maybe that's why I like it better. Who knows...but this is the best in the AZ tea lineup.
