Bawls: G33K B33R

The Bawls G33K B33R, upon first open, foamed like all good root beers do. The foam AND the vapor from the high caffeination is exactly what I like to see, and exactly what I expect from an offshoot beverage of Bawls' calibur.
The fact that the Bawls people added some 1337 5P34K into the drink's title makes me smile. I am a longtime nerd, and I like seeing the nerd in all of us brought out in mainstream products.
The flavor of the G33K B33R is awfully similar to an A&W Rooty. It's smooth-textured, and you can't even tell that there's added caffeine and guarana. The flavor is very nonchalant in that way.





The energy boost, like the original flavor Bawls, consists of simple, not-over-the-top ingredients. Mostly just caffeine and guarana. Not much else. But in this particular instance, less is more.
I should also point out that Bawls drinks are exceptionally hard to find unless you know where to look. In my last Bawls review, I stumbled on that in a gas station convenience store. This time, however, I was tipped off that G33k B33R was spotted in the wild at Fred Meyer for $1.89 a go (thanks, Kevin). MUCH cheaper than at that damn Kwik-e-Mart. While I was there, I picked up an original Bawls, as well, taking advantage of the opportunity as I saw it.


Final verdict: 9 out of 10.
While the flavor was delicious, and the bro sover at Bawls don't dissapoint, I thought it couldn't hurt to have done something more unique with the root beer flavor. True, it is an American classic flavor, but a little ingenuity and innovation is always nice.
