EASE IN ACQUISITION—10
As long as you’re in civilized territory, this should be easy to come by. Problem for me is that I’m in small-town Idaho, and it takes new products a while to trickle in. But I was in Utah this past weekend, and it was already everywhere.
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—10
The can kicks butt. I would refer you to the picture so it could speak for itself, but my shot doesn’t begin to do it justice, so I must attempt to do so. The can has a satin finish, exactly like that employed by Rockstar Energy Cola. The background is a sharp bronze, and coupled with the black it is extremely effective. They could have left it at just that, but no—Rockstar took it one step further, adding white lettering to the logo at the side and the name of the drink, within which there are evenly spaced reflective elements, which give the drink…how would I say this…bling. Even if you aren’t looking for it, once it catches you’re eye, you’re ogling it through the refrigerator door until you come to your senses and grab a can. Now, imagine how this would look on a 24 oz. can (hint, hint, Rockstar….)
TASTE—8
This tastes exactly what the can says it will taste like—peach tea—and it’s really quite a refreshing and enjoyable combination. My only tiff is the obvious presence of the artificial sweeteners, which are conspicuous enough take away from the experience. However, I remember experiencing the same thing with Monster Rehab—Lemonade, and the second time around I didn’t taste ‘em at all. Maybe next time I’m somewhere where it’s carried I’ll pick up another and see if I get the same effect—I’d love to taste this without the sweeteners.
KICK (INTENSITY)—10
I had scarcely gotten a third of the way through the can when I started to feel the effects, and I had a pretty good idea of what I was going to get—and I was excited. Sure enough, I finished it up, and pretty soon I was feeling the full force. Rockstar Iced delivered a seriously awesome kick, which infused me with some serious energy (even after getting only 4 hours of sleep) and gave me all I needed and then some to hit the ground running.
KICK (DURATION)—10
Near as I can tell, I got about 5 hours of energy before I could tell that the effects were wearing off. I wasn’t paying all that much attention—too busy being INFUSED WITH SOME SERIOUS ENERGY!
THE DRINK OVERALL—9.33
If you can find Rockstar Iced, grab it! That’s all I can say. I enjoyed drinking it, and I seriously enjoyed the effects. I have very little to say against this drink—just the artificial sweetener aftertaste, but in light of the deliciousness of the flavor itself and the exceptional kick, this lone fault is pretty dang easy to overlook. Happy drinking!
