5 Hour Energy Drink - Decaf:
Well I have reviewed several of the 5 Hour Energy Drinks to date including, the original - both lemon and lime, as well as Extra Strength 5-Hour Energy. To date, this product lineup is one of my all time favorites out of any of the 300 + Energy Drinks that I have reviewed so far as the kick, portability and expectations of zero crash have been lifesavers on so many occasions. I was a little weary at first about the new 5-Hour Decaf, but then I remembered that caffeine is really not the only energy boosting ingredient in this Energy Shot. Besides, this is a review site, and there are countless people that have asked me for ways to get energy without a caffeine overload. So let's see if the 5-Hour Decaf can accomplish this!

5 Hour Energy Drink - Decaf: Taste
This little 2 ounce shot has zero carbs and only 4 calories and still manages to give a pretty good taste that is somewhat similar to the lemon lime version albeit with a more concentrated citrus taste. Oh yeah, did I mention there is is no medicinal taste whatsoever. The original tasted good, but removing the caffeine and some of the b-vitamins definitely helped improve the taste of the Decaf version. I bought it, gave it a little shake and then drank it at room temperature. The 2 ounces goes down quick and there was no complaints from this reviewer in the taste category. Taste Rating - 8.8

5 Hour Energy Drink - Decaf: Kick
The taste is slightly improved as some of the energy ingredients were removed, but how will this affect the kick? Well as I stated above, there is only 6 milligrams of caffeine in this shot (hence the Decaf label). The new Decaf blend also has a gentler blend of b-vitamins (niacin/b-3 removed) and amino acids when compared to the original. However, the addition of Choline, an essential nutrient to help improve information processing (brain food) is a nice touch. The other energy ingredients include: Glucuronolactone, N-Acetyl, L-Tyrosine, L-Phenylalanine, Taurine, and Malic Acid. It doesn't stop there. There is also a nice enzyme blend that consists of Protease, Lipase, Celluase, and Lactase. The kick was not as strong as the original or extra strength 5-Hour Energy, but you could definitely feel a nice little kick in the pants that I was more than pleased with. After all, not everyone in the world is looking for a huge rush of energy, some are just looking for a nice little pick me up which 5-Hour Decaf provides. I am more a fan of the original and extra strength versions, but if you are looking for a sustained boost of energy, are sensitive to caffeine, or avoid it for personal or medical reasons, than look no further. Kick Rating 8.0

5 Hour Energy Drink - Decaf: Final Judgment
I love it, the product line keeps getting more diverse! 5-Hour seems to have a little something for everyone now. Those looking for a little pick me up (Decaf), those looking for a big pick me up (original) and those energy junkies like me looking for the huge pick me up (extra strength)! When I need to cut back on my caffeine intake (yeah even I do that once in awhile) I think I will make this my new choice for staying alert. Final Judgment - 8.4

Power Trip (The extreme) Review

Hey everybody its joe here and im going to start doing energy drink reviews o this blog. so my first review will be of power trip.


First just looking at power trip, you can tell that it is probally going to pack quite a energy punch. But one thingi dont like about there can is that it looks like they tried way to hard to make the can look good. For example, it just looks like to much is going on, where on a differnet can such as redbull there are 2-3 things going on, like graphics and words, where on the power trip can there s about 7 different things going on, which i dont like.

the price was good, this specific drink was 2.75 all together with tax, which isnt bad considering most energy drinks are over 3 dollars. They give you alot for your buck to, so it looks, but really once you get the can in your hand and start observing it you relize that the can is not filled all the way, theres about a inch or so of just air no liquid, this is kind of like the arizona 99 cent iceteas, they have a really large can and dont fill it all the way, thats why you can drink them quickly.

Ok so i just opened the can and tasted the drink, it tastes alot like redbull which i like, even a little more sweeter, also the can is much bigger than a redbull can and is actually cheaper than the smallest redbull can size in my area. I would suggest if you like redbull and you cant keep paying the expensive price to keep drinking it, then you should certainly switch, and start drinking power trip.

this drink is not thirst quenching what so ever though so if your looking for a thirst quencher do not buy this drink, or drink it over ice, so the ice melts to water and it quenches your thirst a little bit. Th power trip company originated in florida and has been ding well, because i live in new york and it made it all the way here.

Taste: 9/10

Kick: 8/10

Overall: 8.5/10

Overall i think that power trip is a good energy drink, and is really great if you need something that tastes and has less of a boost. thanks and come back soon for my next review
