CAFFEINE CONTENT
138 mg
EASE IN ACQUISITION—10
Extremely common.
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—7
Ranks up there with the others—excellent imagery, poor packaging. Few things scream “energy” quite the way the 5-Hour mountain runner guy does, but few things scream “cheap” quite the way shrink-wrap does.
TASTE—4
The flavor is akin to your run-of-the-mill, citrus-flavored cough medicine—bitter, unconvincing, and generally unpleasant. Blech.
KICK (INTENSITY)—7
Average, but…plenty adequate. No jitters, just mid-grade alertness.
KICK (DURATION)—10
Five hours—no crash.
THE SHOT OVERALL—7
Same story here as with all the others—kicks well, tastes lousy (not so lousy that I feel like ranting for paragraphs about it, though…but lousy enough to instill me with a crushing sense of apathy that’s transferring itself to this review).
