SLAP Green Tea Energy: Crisp Apple

Having cracked open this silver, green and black can, I wasn't sure what to expect. It certainly wasn't what I tasted. A light, very natural-tasting apple flavor with a slight minty addage. The initial flavor and texture of the drink was smooth. Not as harsh as say a Jolt, or a Red Bull. Seemed like a good "starter" drink for blokes who aren't used to the vice of caffeine and taurine, and the huge flavor that usually comes with it. It's an acquired taste. But I digress...
I found this one to be a "sipper" drink. Not one that you go out of your way to pound down, but one that you can drink while, say watching a movie. Or something to that effect.




Now as far as the resulting energy goes, It DOES deliver something of a kick. The text on the can says it's jitter-less. I think it may have lied a little, there. I'm feeling slightly jittery, but then again, nothing really makes me jittery. Nope, not even a BFC Monster.
Anyway, big flavor; check, big energy; check, now how about the health factor?
It says it has "better-for-you" ingredients. Which I suppose is halfway true. There's some green tea solids and a substitute sweetener called Isomaltulose (made from sucrose via bacterial fermentation), which is good, but there's also the usual generic "energy blend" like caffeine, taurine, niacin, guarana extract, et cetera. So not as bad for you as, say, a Rockstar, but still no Elixir of Life.
All in all, an enjoyable drink. Out of ten, I'd give it an 8.5
