CAFFEINE CONTENT
67 mg
EASE IN ACQUISITION—3
I’ve seen it once or twice over the course of my energy-drinking career, but such sightings are few and far between.
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—8
I don’t have a whole lot to say about this one—it’s a brown Bawls bottle, and is about as appropriate as you could ask for in a “high caffeine” root beer.
TASTE—8
You familiar with A&W? This more or less tastes like A&W—just with a slightly odd aftertaste, perhaps from the guarana. In any case, it’s sweet and vanilla-y…most root beer lovers will be pleased.
KICK (INTENSITY)—6
Those who are reading this review and have read my review for the original Bawls in a bottle know what’s coming—this isn’t a terribly intense drink per se, but is excellent if you’re looking for a slight spring in your step rather than a thermonuclear caffeine blast. I drank this to get me through the last hour of a 12 hour drive, and it did just fine doing that also.
KICK (DURATION)—6
After the aforementioned hour, got home and got all settled in. Still had an hour of energy left, after which I had no trouble sleeping.
THE DRINK OVERALL—6.67
I like the original a little better, but I wouldn’t have a problem drinking Bawls Guarana Root Beer again. And, if what I’ve described appeals to you, grab it if you can.
