First, this thing is huge. 32 ounces! that's 946mL. This is the first time I had this particular flavor, I really enjoyed some of their other flavors namely the coffee (mean bean) and juice (khaos).
When I opened the behemoth of a can, the first thing I noticed was the pungent smell. Almost like apple schnapps, but carbonated. I poured a clear cup and the color took me by surprise. Bright green! Like alien blood. As I swirled it lightly around the cup, the carbonated bubbles released some of the smell. I wasn't too sure I was going to like the taste.
When I took my first sip, I nearly gagged. Apparently this is supposed to be a sour apple taste. It was definitely sour. Not like those sour candy warheads sour, but it had a taste that made my mouth pucker. Although difficult, I was able to finish my first gulp. I then offered some to my labmate. He was reluctant, but some coaxing got him to taste it. He had a similar first reaction. He would like to say it tasted like carbonated battery acid, but he also used that analogy for Moxie (the absolute worst drink, also official state drink of Maine). He finally settled with describing it as carbonated atomic warheads. I disagree since warheads you can continue eating- this drink seems to get worse with every swig.
The buzz it gives you is pretty nice, not much different than the regular flavors though. All in all, I would not recommend this to anyone, really.
sorry, no cliffs.
