Hydrive Energy X Antioxidant Blend

The red beverage in a clear plastic bottle was displayed with three or four other flavors. I couldn't decide at first whether I wanted the green, blue, or red variety. So I chose one at random. And the Hydrive Energy X (the red one) was the result of my random decision.
I hadn't read nearly anything on the bottle, aside from "Antioxidant Formula," so the only assumption I had made was that it would be a very welcome healthy alternative to the junk I usually pound down.




When popped off the cap, I expected to hear the hiss of carbonation. Imagine my surprise when the result was much like that of a water bottle. Silent, more or less.
But anyway... onto my opinion. The flavor displayed on the bottle was "tripleberry," which seemed accurate. It was very fruity, tangy, yet refreshing at the same time. I suppose the lack of carbonation is to thank for that. It was almost like gatorade dor powerade, only with less of a bland, watery flavor that feels sorta half-assed.
Overall, a mildly enjoyable flavor. Not over-the-top, and not too watered-down.
The bottle is a 15.5 FL oz, so a reasonable size, but the real kicker is the antioxidant formula in sync with the energy blend (which just consists of 145mg of caffeine)
The antioxidants (according to the bottle) are EGCG, Polyphenols, Ginko Biloba, Selenium, Zinc, and grape seed extract. At 30 calories a bottle, not bad.
So it's healthy, that's a plus. It's flavor is "meh"...
My final verdict: 6.8/10
