Yeah, the can is a bit banged up, and yeah, I dropped it on the way to my desk. The good thing is that the mouth opening is on the good side so I don't have to go wash my mug to enjoy this.
The color of the drink surprised me again. I was expecting it to be like the Citrus Slam, clear, but it turned out to be a very pale pink one. What could possibly be in it to make a lemon flavoured drink pink? I know what, cherries! You cannot taste them as much, but subtle hints emerge in the finish. The lemon taste is more apparent in the finish and is very dull while drinking. This is sugar free drink and the company has done a better job at hiding this in the taste. When you have this drink cold, the combination between the temperature and the carbonation will hide almost all of the diet taste. Sweeteners become noticeable in the finish though. The aftertaste has the generic diet mouth-feel and taste. Overall this drink is just as dull in flavour as the Citrus Slam, but has an enjoyable finish with the lemon taste lingering for a while.
Same deal as the Citrus Slam in the caffeine department - 200 mg + whatever else from the guarana. I was feeling great 30 minutes after starting the drink. I wasn't experiencing any jitters, just a lot of energy. This had the same effect like the Citrus Slam - 4 hours with no crash.
