I have seen this a few places but have never wanted to buy it because of the pink label and the fact that it is sugar free. I was at Zehrs today and came across their Beaver Buzz sale - all Beaver Buzz energy drinks were on sale for $1.79. Check out the pull tab, it is a dead give away that this is made by the same guys who make Beaver Buzz.
Wow, this tastes pretty damn good. If it wasn't sugar free, I would say that this is one of the best tasting energy drinks I have ever had. The artificial sweetener does give it a diet taste. The drink is cloudy and bright pink in color. It looks like the Minute Maid Pink Lemonade. It tastes like a combination of 90% grapefruit juice and 10% lemon juice. I assume the slightly sour taste comes from the citric acid. The drink is not sweet but also not as dull as some diet drinks are. You barely notice that this is a sugar free drink while drinking it. This becomes apparent in the aftertaste, which is a blend of grapefruit and sweetener. Great drink, it is just that some men might feel emasculated drinking this in public.
I love the way everything is laid out on the back. Check out the Supplement Facts.
No need to locate the word "caffeine" in the ingredients list to see how much you are getting because everything is listed in a nice table format. A hundred and twenty milligrams is not bad for a container this size, but you can get more from other Beaver Buzz energy drinks. I was feeling down in the afternoon so I decided to have this. I got a clean boost with no jitters, which lasted for a few hours, enough to get through some boring readings.
Scores:
Cost - $1.79 CAD on sale, I have seen this in other stores for $1.99 to $2.69
Taste - 8.7/10
Energy - 7.3/10
Overall - 16/20...great sugar free energy drink. I think I will give other sugar free drinks a chance
