Thanks to Liquid Nitro I won't be getting any sleep

Today we have a twofer; Liquid Nitro, and the Liquid Nitro Energy Shot! Let me start out by saying that the last week, I’ve been really off schedule, and I just woke up from a nap. This stuff instantly had me wide awake (I’m sure I’ll be up until 4AM or something because of this, but hey, at least I’m able to right the review now!). But we don’t care about my sleep schedule, no, no, we care about caffeine; let’s check this stuff out.

Starting out with the classic Liquid Nitro, this stuff comes in a standard 16oz can and rocks the Liquid Nitro logo vertically along the front of the can in a contrasting silver and black design. The caffeine content of Liquid Nitro puts it up with the other energy drinks on the market, it carries the industry norm of 10mg of caffeine per oz, so a can is going to give us a solid 160mg of caffeine. Not bad! Liquid Nitro also delivers your standard Vitamin B6, B12 and Taurine to help give you a kick when you’ll feeling down and tired.

Liquid Nitro is caramel in color, and due to it’s slogan of “All Energy without the Bull” I assumed it was going to be another Red Bull Clone, however I was wrong. This stuff didn’t have a distinct enough smell for me to predict what it would taste like, so I went in blindly not knowing what to expect. I’m glad to say that this stuff tastes great, it kind of reminded me of Monster, but it didn’t have the same nasty medicinal taste of Monster. I can’t really seem to describe what the flavor is, the can doesn’t promote any specific flavor, so I’ll just describe the flavor as sweet. It’s not overpoweringly sweet, but it’s not bland. I know I’m not really being helpful with my lack of specific terms for this flavor, but I promise you that this is a great tasting drink!

As I told you in the beginning of the post, this stuff really got me into gear! I felt the kick after drinking about half of the can, so this stuff is definitely worth it! While some drinks don’t really do much for you, or take a while to do anything, Liquid Nitro doesn’t dawdle when it comes to smacking you awake.

Well. Now that I’m 160mg deep in caffeine, it’s time to check out Liquid Nitro’s Energy Shot. It’s 7:00PM right now, so I know I’m going to regret doing this early tomorrow morning when I’m laying in bed wide awake, but I love all of my readers, and I have a review to complete. This Shot comes in your standard 3oz plastic bottle and displays the same logo on the front that its big brother does. The only difference in the design is that the shot displays “Exotic Berry Flavor” on the label, so I should be able to get specific on the flavor of the shot. In addition, the shot boasts that it contains  “Super CitriMax and Chromate” which apparently will curb appetite, boost metabolism, and promote overall better health. So while I may not be getting any sleep tonight, I can at least be assured I won’t get any late night hunger cravings.

Just as the label promises, this stuff has a strong berry scent to it. The taste is pretty good too; it’s not something you want to sit in your mouth, as it’s a little overpowering, but if you just drink it like you’re supposed to, it leaves a nice sweet berry aftertaste. According to the ingredients, the flavor is a mix of mangosteen and blueberry, and they’re pretty tasty.

While the energy shot is smaller in size, it delivers a bigger kick of 200mg per bottle, so watch out if you try it and don;t let it catch you off guard. Overall, I’d say that the Liquid Nitro Energy line is fantastic! Both if these products deliver their promised kick, and neither are lacking in flavor!

If you want to get some Liquid Nitro for yourself, you can buy it from the distributor online at The Nitro Guy. The site also has a video promoting the drink – the video contains young children in rapping in Jamaica , and that’s certainly something you don’t see everyday, so head on over and get some for yourself!

Sugar Free Roaring Lion

I know we just covered Roaring Lion the other day, but since there’s a few of these in the fridge right now, we ought to check them out. Sugar Free Roaring Lion is, for those of you who haven’t figured it out, the sugar free, no calorie variety of Roaring Lion. There’s not much to go into detail right now, having it be it’s similar in many ways to it’s sugared up cousin, so let’s get right to the review.

One of the thing that’s different about Sugar Free Roaring Lion is that it doesn’t come in a can, but in a 17oz plastic bottle. You know I love bottles, because it lets me spread my caffeine consumption out over time, as I’m able to set it down without fear of it spilling. Also, because of this beast’s size, it contains two servings, bringing it to a grand total of about 160~170mg of caffeine per bottle. The bottle is light blue in color, in comparison to the can’s darker shade, and the roaring lion and claw marks are still prominently displayed on the front. Like its brethren, it has a light caramel hue to it, and smells no different.

Despite its lack of sugar, this sugar free drink tastes remarkably similar to the standard version! It has that same Red Bull taste, but it’s just slighly less sweet (obviously). However, this doesn’t seem to detract from the taste all that much, it still has a kick and at times it was difficult to notice a difference at all.

That’s all for now, I apologize for the brevity of this article, but it’s so darn similar to the the sugared version that if you want to know more, just read this. As for buying the stuff, you can get it straight from the source, be it in bottles, cans, or even in 3 gallon bag!

Roaring Lion - Let Out Your Lion!

This is the first energy drink I’ve had in a while (I went off caffeine for a few weeks) and I can really feel its effects. Today we’re looking at Roaring Lion, a drink with the slogan “Lionize Yourself” and which promises to “Let Out Your Lion!”. Well, I haven’t grown a mane yet, nor have I had the urge to maul any wildebeest, but I’m definitely energized. Roaring Lion is what I’d call a Red Bull Clone, as it has the same taste, that generic energy drink taste that Red Bull has. Lion Energy knows this, and they had a pretty ballsy campaign to show it. They sent me some of their product in addition to a can or Red Bull, and gave the instructions to have a friend pour each drink in a cup and to taste test. Let me tell you, I can’t tell a difference, it’s that good!

Like I said before, Roaring Lion tastes just like Red Bull, if not, better (by the way, I have no clue how to describe the “Red Bull Taste”, if anyone can think of a way to describe it, please comment below, heck, I’ll send you a can of this stuff if you can help me out!), and has a light amber hue to it as well. The drink comes in your standard 12 oz aluminum can adorned with a lion and what I assume are claw marks from a ferocious (and caffeinated) lion.

The folks at Roaring Lion Energy were kind enough to send the nutritional facts as well, and they’re the same as Red Bull’s, give or take a few calories. The energy mix contains 1000mg of Taurine, 600mg of D-Glucuronalactone, 80mg of Caffeine, 90mg of Inositol (10mg more than RB), 119 calories, 20mg Niacin, 10mg Vitamin B6, and .005 mg of Vitamin B12, in addition to 26g of sugar,

Overall, this is a great drink, I absolutely love the flavor, and it gets the job done! The folks over at Roaring Lion really did a great job! If you want to get some for yourself check out their website (seems to be down at the moment) or if you’re too impatient for their website to get back up, grab some here.

(And please please please help me figure out how to describe the Red Bull taste! )

5150 Juice (Crazy Juice)

Wow. I just want to start out by telling you how insane this stuff is. This is 5150 Juice (Crazy Juice) and it’s absolutely insane. This is the stuff that kept me awake during last minute finishing touches during the night on projects (okay, I admit they weren’t finishing touches, it was me starting the project several hours before the deadline, even after several weeks to do it), and is what kept me going hard through finals.

5150 is a product unlike any other, it’s straight up caffeine. Yes you heard me, no flavor, no additives, no gimmick, just caffeine. Each bottle packs 500mg of caffeine and you’d have to be mentally unstable or a bad ass to attempt to finish it off in one serving. The product explains that a “capful of juice” is about 80mg, or your average energy drinks worth. The product also warns you to be sure to mix it with something, be it water, Merlot, your ceral, sports drinks, whatever. Just don’t try the stuff straight up.

After checking out the instructions I took a taste without mixing it first (because I love my readers and because I’m stubborn), and it tastes like plastic and bleh. So AFTER that, I mixed it with a cup of water and I couldn’t taste it at all. The same goes for when I mixed it with Gatorade, and then Fruity Pebbles. As long as you FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS you’ll be fine, you won’t taste a thing.

5150 is my dream product – I can take any bland food or drink item and instantly make it caffeinated! The juice itself is clear, so you can’t even tell it’s been added to your drink, that is, until it kicks in. This stuff doesn’t fail to deliver, it certainly packs a punch.This is most certainly a product to try, 1 bottle is $2.50 (that’s several energy drinks worth of caffeine for the price of one) or a 12 pack for 17.99.

You can grab yourself some 5150 Juice straight from the source online here.

Let’s open this puppy up, it smells like, well, it smells like black tea, what else? Amp Rebuild also has a great taste. I was surprised that its carbonated, I assumed that the drink, being black tea based, wouldn’t be carbonated, but it is. This gives it an interesting taste. Rebuild also has a nice hint of lemon, as the can suggests, and it’s extremely smooth and refreshing. It also seems to have a slight hint of ginseng, and the ingredients confirm this.

Each 200 calorie can of Amp with Black Tea contains 180mg of caffeine, some Vitamin B, 296mg of taurine, 248mg of guarana, and 34mg of ginseng. Amp Rebuild delivers a nice boost of great tasting energy. It’s a great drink, and it’s perfect for a hot day like today!

Ávitāe comes in a triangular, cylindrical shaped bottle and the bottle diffuses from gray to clear. The bottle displays the name of product and the world “vitality” appears in yellow over the “v”. It’s a really simplistic design, so there’s not that much to say about the bottle.

As for the actual product, Ávitāe tastes likes, well, it’s water. It has the kick of a cola, but doesn’t taste like anything, so it’s just water with a kick. Ávitāe is a really simple product, no gimmicks, no additives, just water with some caffeine. If you want to learn more about Ávitāe, you can head over to their site.

The packaging features a Cheetah running and the can reads that it’s an Energy Drink with taurine enhanced with B vitamins; that sounds very generic. The can is a dark brownish red and is 8.45oz. Each can contains 120 calories, 33g of sugar, lots of Vitamin B, taurine, and caffeine. Upon opening the can, the smell and the caramel-color jogged my memory and I realized what this was – a “poor man’s Red Bull.” Max Velocity, like many generic energy drinks, smells and tastes just like Red Bull, only a little less strong tasting. To be quite honest, it’s not bad like I thought it would be, it goes down smooth and doesn’t have any bad aftertaste or anything else that would make me not like it. Additionally, the fact that it’s only 88 cents is great! You could buy 3 of these for the price of one Red Bull; this basically is Red Bull without the name. The can also has a quality promise on the back, and offers a refund if you don’t like the drink. I’m happy to say that I won’t be calling that number, as while a generic drink, Max Velocity is worth the 88 cents and may come in handy when you need a cheap boost of energy.

Unfortunately, the caffeine content isn’t listed on the can, but I’ve contacted Albertsons, and I should hear back from them soon!

Upon opening Full On: Lemonade, I instantly recognized the lemonade scent. Having it be that GURU Lemonade is USDA organic and all natural, it’s smell is exactly like that of organic lemonade: a strong lemon one that is not overpowered by artificial sweeteners and sugar. As a fan of organic lemonade, I realized that Full On would woo me with its fantastic smell and taste. If you’ve had organic lemonade before, you know exactly what Full On tastes like. If you haven’t, it’s like normal lemonade, but a little more bitter and lemony. Don’t think of bitter as being bad in this case, it’s not unpleasant; it’s just not overly sweet. The lack of fizzy in Full On makes for one smooth drink that’s great for any occasion, especially sports. It’s not too sweet like other sports drinks, it has salt (electrolytes) in it, and the lack of carbonation won’t upset your stomach while you wipe the field with your awesome skills, or whatever you’re doing at the time.

It’s an interesting concept, really. It’s just like organic lemonade, but it has 145mg of caffeine per 12oz can, guarana, panax ginseng, ginkgo biloba, and Echinacea flower extract; it’s everything a normal energy drink is without the additives and carbonation, which makes this a great drink.

If you want some for yourself, you can use GURU’s store locater, or you can buy it through their online store. If you use he latter of the two, be sure to treat yourself to a sweet 10% off and free shipping! Just use the coupon code: Caffeine_GURU10% at checkout. Coupon has expired, sorry guys!

GURU Lite has a very similar aroma to GURU Energy’s. It has an interesting berry smell to it like the original’s, and while it’s good, it smells a little less sweet and you can tell that it’s a light version of the drink. The taste is a little blander than the original flavor, as GURU Lite doesn’t contain the white grape juice that its non-lite counterpart has. Lite, who’s taste is comparable to Sprite’s, has a hint of lemon in it, and possibly some luo han guo. Having it be that I have no idea what luo han guo tastes like, I can’t be sure; all I know is that GURU Lite contains luo han guo juice.

While the taste and packaging of Lite differ from the original, GURU Lite’s energy blend and caffeine content do not. This drink packs the same 145mg of caffeine per 12oz can that its more caloric cousin does. It also contains guarana, Echinacea, panax ginseng, and ginkgo biloba in a 1285mg/serving energy blend. Lite also only contains 10 calories and 2g carbs per serving, making this a very smart choice in beverages. While GURU Lite isn’t as sweet as the rest of the family, the fact that it can come with so few calories and sugars without tasting awful or cutting back on caffeine makes this drink a great choice for anyone looking for a healthier energy drink.

Guru Lite, like all of its counterparts, is available in stores and online. If you shop online, be sure to use coupon code: Caffeine_GURU10% for a hearty 10% off your purchase, in addition to free shipping! Coupon has expired, sorry guys!

The can it comes in is 12oz can and is recyclable, which parallels the organic and natural aspects of the drink. The design has the same vertical GURU logo as their other drinks and the color scheme reminds me of Van Halen’s Frankenstein Guitar. The can also includes a few certification labels, such as a certified organic logo. GURU Energy contains 97mg of naturally occurring caffeine per serving (about 145mg per can), which is better than most of its competitors, who only have around 10mg of caffeine per oz. Additionally, GURU Energy contains an energy blend of: guarana, panax ginseng, ginkgo biloba, Echinacea flower, and even a little salt for some electrolytes.

GURU Original has a fantastic aroma due to the white grape juice in it and it smells a lot like Mountain Dew Revolution (RIP my friend). It has a white grape taste to it with a hint of lemon, which complements the sparkling water (as opposed to the carbonated water other drinks use). It also tastes remarkably similar to MD Revolution, for those of you that were crushed by the fact that MD Revolution lost to Voltage. The sparkling water is a great idea, as it helps this drink stand out by making it more of an energized juice than a basic energy drink. The low carbonation also allows GURU to go down smooth and won’t upset your stomach if you drink it too fast. Overall, GURU Energy is a fantastic drink due to it’s flavor, organic traits, and low carbonation.

It’s the season for giving and GURU Beverages has been kind enough to offer Caffeine Guru readers 10% all online purchases at GURU Energy through the online coupon: Caffeine_GURU10% . Additionally, you can give a friend a free 12-pack of GURU when you buy something for yourself! More details here. Coupon has expired, sorry guys!
