About this drink: Well, the can is green. And it doesn't say a whole bunch about what's inside. The inclusion of guarana in the title is my only basis for this being categorised as an energy drink, and I'm vaguely terrified of trying it. Appearance, aroma, argh? To the eye: It's beige. It also fizzed like a fizzing thing. To the nose: I'm tempted to say floral paint stripper, but that's probably a bit harsh. The small is actually quite faint, and you almost need to inhale the drink to smell it. It smells quite sweet, and at this point, I don't believe it's going to taste particularly bad. Only time will tell, though. To the mouth: Time's about to tell. Holy crap. It's really nice. I mean, it's totally benign. There's nothing unpleasant at all about the flavour. In fact, it's incredibly subtle. There's a slight, slight hint of vanilla, which is probably the source of the weird floral scent. I believe this drink works because it doesn't have the abhorrent b-vitamin groupings that almost all energy drinks suffer horrendously from. It also tastes slightly brewed, but not in any way unpleasant. And a little while after: There's no noticable aftertaste. It tastes like you've just sipped some creaming soda. The brown kind, not the red kind. When it gets warm: It continues to taste like creaming soda. I approve! Overall: Outstanding. Good things come, apparently, in poorly labelled packages.  Mmm, guarana-y.  Vanilla bubbles. |
