EASE IN ACQUISITION—4
Haven’t seen this or any other Red Rain product outside of Dollar Tree; check there if interested.
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—6
The bright colors give this can make it so it doesn’t fade into the background so badly as Red Rain; still, the plain can (other than the pinstripe) doesn’t do a whole lot for me.
TASTE—7
The can calls this drink “cherry limeade”, so that’s about what I expected. The first swig tasted like maraschino cherry syrup—and all I could think was “Ick!” The cherry flavor mellowed out, however, and soon I wasn’t minding the drink so much. It wasn’t life-changing, mind you, but it was still passable.
KICK (INTENSITY)—7
About average, but at the same time, not so painfully standard as to cause me offense. It isn’t the strongest pick-me-up, but it should get the job done for your day-to-day requirements.
KICK (DURATION)—7
Effects last around three hours. No crash.
THE DRINK OVERALL—7
I wasn’t wowed by Red Rain Downpour, but at the same time, I didn’t dislike it. If you’re not needing a huge boost and like cherry limeade, give Red Rain Downpour a shot—it’s not all that bad for a buck.
