Upon opening my black-and-red aluminum-clad beverage, a scent of pomegranate and maybe cherry found its way to my notsrils. The flavor of the No Fear Super Energy Supplement by Sobe was much more intense. I personally found it to be a bit over-the-top as far as flavor is concerned. It left a sort of tangy, sour aftertaste, which I don't care for. After a few more sips, the funky flavor became even more apparent, staining my tastebuds with that starchy "dry" feeling you get when you eat too much pomegranate. Or potatoes. Something like that.
The energy kick was good. Not spectacular, but at the very least noticable. The standard energy blend of caffeine, guarana, L-carnitine, taurine, and a mix of arginine and inositol kept me at least alert and energetic to a point.
Having been produced by Sobe, I expected something more along the lines of health and fitness and such. The original Sobe drinks were always a personal favorite, partially for their flavor and for the healthy aspect.
This drink manages to be about the same as a Monster, in terms of health. 260 calories, versus the usual 240 I see everywhere else...
I bought this one for $2.19 at the Chevron down the street. I don't know about you, but that seems a little spendy, to me. $2.00 seems appropriate. $1.50 is even better. But $2.19? Meh.
My final verdict: 6.4 for an all-around weird taste, unpleasant aftertaste, and for being just a tad too pricey for me.
