Liquid Lightning Energy Drink – look good drinking this.

The energy boost is notable – at 200mg, more caffeine that the average 160mg, and supplement ingredients to support this and avoid the crash.

The flavor is a light, berry flavor – just sweet enough, without the liquid candy corn feeling you might get half way through a regular Monster.

No special points for health – 44g of sugar per 16oz can, standard ingredients.

After some reflection, we’ve decided that we are fans of the Liquid Lightning line-up.

It’s an important and involved decision, really. A recurring theme in most energy drink reviews is whether a drink can stand out in an incredibly crowded marketplace.

Liquid Lightning has now achieved this, with their current can design, flavor, and energy boost. The can design makes the drink feel premium – maybe it’s just me – but it felt like what you’d get served in an ultra-hip nightclub.

Golazo Energy Drink Review – take care of business on the field! And take care of your health at the same time.

Golazo is an All Natural option for a nice boost that certainly fits an athlete’s needs, as it’s designed to. It’s not a stay-up-all-night-and-party-hard drink. Golazo has 100mg of natural caffeine, as well as Yerba Mate leaf extract, and guarana.

When you create a drink with 21g of sugar, you’re taking a chance. You haven’t caught the eye of the dieters, because you can’t claim “10 Calories” or “Sugar Free.” On the other hand, if you sell to an energy drink fan with a sweet tooth, it’s not going to be enjoyed like a Pit Bull or a DareDevil. It tastes almost watered down compared to it’s more sugar-loaded counterparts.

There are three flavors and each taste like a dilluted version of what’s described on the can. However, we have to look at this in the context of what’s promised by the brand – this is a drink for the game of soccer. To put it more broadly, this is a drink for people who play hard.

I can attest to this: the flavor works when you’re really thirsty. And when you’re pushing your body to the limit on the field, you’re going to need the electrolytes, the B vitamins, and the caffeine boost – which is substantial but not ridiculous.

Golazo scores high points as healthy drink. We like to see cane sugar and Stevia instead of HFCS. It’s a smaller can than Monster or Rock Star, but still has less sugar per fluid OZ. It’s all natural and as noted above, tastes fine.

We wish the taste could be improved a little, but we appreciate that the drink is healthy, hydrating, and energizing. Also, it sounds like this drink was conceptualized in Seattle and is bottled in Portland – which also scores big points in our book.

Pit Bull Energy Drink Review – Great taste, standard boost.

Power is not where Pit Bull makes it’s mark. In a comparison of energy drinks at your local gas station, the ingredients are almost the same across most of the cans, and Pit Bull isn’t an exception with 160mg of caffeine and 1500mg of Taurine.

The original has a lemonlime ginger ale taste – as described on the can-  and as I sip on one right now, I’m impressed. It’s easy to drink, it’s refreshing, and it’s not another Red Bull clone (despite the suspiciously similar name.) We recommend that you try each of the flavors. They are as unique and refreshing as they sound: Pomegranate Blueberry, Cherry Lime,  Cranberry Pink Grapefruit.

Pit Bull has 54g – 56g of sugar depending on the flavor, and besides B vitamins for energy, no added vitamins or nutritional value. From a healthy living standpoint, these drinks are great for an occasional treat, but check out the sugar free version for a healthier alternative.

We’re a fan of the Pit Bull line up. By the name, you might think this is another Red Bull ripoff – but Pit Bull actually offers some refreshing variations on the standard citrus flavors.

AMMO Full Force Energy Drink Review – A shortcut to an action-packed day, just 25 calories. This citrus flavor has the most bite of the bunch.

AMMO gets credit for brilliance in the Power department. While some energy drinks have more caffeine, few pack so much into a 1 fluid OZ bottle. They also came up with a caffeine rationing system. A scale on the side of the bottle that lets you see how many milligrams of caffeine you’ve consumed, up to the full 171 mg. It works too, whether you ration it or shoot it all at once. A bottle of AMMO woke me effectively today.

The Citrus Ice has a bite to it, but not the obnoxious energy drink formula taste. It’s a little more like a bit of lemon and lime juice mixed. I recommend mixing this one, with water or any creative liquid option. For me, it wasn’t as deliciously enjoyable as a sugar-filled Monster – naturally. It’s definitely still easy to drink and the couple testers of this flavor are fans.

Each of the drinks are labeled with “Low Carb”, which is fair. 7g sugar, 25 calories. This is far more diet-friendly and healthy than a Rock Star or Full Throttle, and it delivers about the same caffeine kick.

Unlike 5 Hour Energy & clones, AMMO works well as a mixer – even stirring it into water creates a decent drink. Their marketing angle is that this was developed originally for the US military. I’ll buy that. The testers reported no jitters and no crash, as the box claims. Of all the drinks I’ve tried, AMMO is the one I’d most like to bring on a backpacking trip, for all the reasons above. I’ll be ready to rock and roll. Any flavor will do.
