This Full Throttle Berry has more berry flavor than some other drinks I've tried, and I suppose that's a good thing. It's got that bold flavor that says, "I'll keep you up until four in the morning, brah!" And I admire that. Granted, that "four in the morning" thing is all relative. Just don't drink it past 6PM and you'll be fine.
Anyway, I liked the flavor. Obviously "berry". It had that kick that I have grown accustomed to in my travels.
The can design stays true to the Full Throttle brand, looking exactly like the other cans, only red instead of blue, or black, or what have you. I've always been a fan of product uniformity.
In the energy department, this Full Throttle certainly delivers. It's not to the effect of that Monster I drank a few days ago, but then again, that drink had size on its side. This can is a standard 16 FL oz-er that'll keep the run-of-the-mill office worker or college student on task and out of la-la land (I speak of course about sleeping).
While the flavor and energy are paired well, the health of this beverege is no worse than a can of Coca-Cola. I've wondered about the role high-fructose corn syrup plays in our dietary health as a collective, and I still have no definitive answer. Regardless, this drink has HFCS, 230 calories, and that disclaimer that says "not recommended for children, pregnant or nursing women, or those sensitive to caffeine". But then again, the only energy drink I've ever seen that hasn't had that disclaimer is Red Bull. And in all honesty, the health factor never really bothered me, anyways. I'm a 130-lb 20-year-old college student, with the metabolism of the Flash.
Final verdict: 8/10 for good flavor, good energy, but kinda girly and not necessarily healthy.
