Overall impression / comments: In all fairness, this isn't even an energy drink, but I figured, "Hemp Tea?" Oh, that's definately going on the site. It's basically iced tea. Only one real difference...it tastes like you're chewing on...umm...marijuana seeds. Not that I would have any idea what that tastes like, just making the assumption. This would be a great gift for that college friend who...you know...

Name of Drink: Her Passion (its sugar free, too!)

Venue found at: 99 cent store

Price at said location: 99 cents

Overall impression / comments: It's good. A little over-carbonated, but the taste makes up for it. Tastes like a liquid cross between a Jolly Rancher and Sour Warhead. It's a fruity flavor, but it's good. My wife, who hates energy drinks, is addicted to this one in particular. Not an overkill on the buzz either, like having a couple cups of strong coffee, but with a longer lasting boost.

Overall impression / comments: This drink is a beautiful creation. It's bright green, not over-carbonated like many other energy drinks, and if poured over ice it waters the syrupiness down to the perfect consistency. Got this one on a trip to Flagstaff, AZ, and my wife and our two friends all tried this and the "lite" version, and as a general consensus, everyone loved it. It doesn't have the normal harsh "energy drink" taste. It's made in Saint Louis, so I have no idea if Nelly had anything to do with the creation, but it's still delicious.

Overall impression / comments: I have no idea what Horny Goat Weed is supposed to be or do, but it did the trick in this can. It has kind of a weird, sour taste, but like a candy store sour, not a "milk in the sun for 4 days" sour. If you got a dollar and a dollar store, its worth getting a couple. Kind of a fruity taste to it, almost tropical. Now that I think of it, the name doesn't match the taste at all. It wasn't mean or raw, and I'm not a horny goat.
