Rockstar Energy Cola

Previously ignorant of this alternative flavor of the popular energy drink, the Rockstar Energy Cola was a run-of-the-mill cola, aside from a bit of an energetic kick. I detected a the smooth cola flavor first off. Tasted pretty much like any other cola, in my honest opinion. Did I mention that I think Coca-Cola and Pepsi taste the same? Same deal here. Wasn't too enthused, but at least it was pleasant. Unlike SOME drinks I've had in the past.
The 16 oz can was some kind of brushed aluminum. Not all shiny like most cans. But the black, silver, and gold color scheme made for a bit of eye-candy.






The energy supplement portion of is was insanely unoriginal, I thought. Guarana, taurine, caffeine, ginseng, and B-vitamins. Pretty usual, I suspect.
The energy this drink gave me was typical. I felt a little bloated, actually... and I think I may have some heartburn. I don't know that I can blame it entirely on the Rockstar, but it definitely played its part. "Double Strength" is right.
I DID find it odd that there's a little American flag on the can towards the back and in tiny letters it says "AMERICAN MADE." As if being made in America changed the flavor or anything...
Final verdict: 6 out of 10. It was tasty enough to keep me drinking, but I wasn't really impressed. Needs... more to the flavor.
