Everlast Nutrition Cirtus Blast

A Fair & Honest Energy Drink Review

Everlast Nutrition Cirtus Blast Retail Package Description

Everlast comes in a yellow and black can. With the large logo on the top it looks like a miniature punching bag. Growing up we had a red one that hung from the ceiling, which I'm sure saved me from many thrashings from my parents, and by parents I mean mom. Regardless, I immediately felt a fond connection to this drink and had high hopes for it.

"High Performance, Fast Energy, Quick Reaction, Great Taste, Premium Energy Drink, High Energy Drink" are some of the catchy words on the front of this can. There is a lot of text on the can, which I'm not very interested in, because they all say the same thing. I'd be more inclined to buy an energy drink that offered "Low-Stench Burps" or "Minimum Gritty Texture". That's real honesty. They do state "High Energy" three times in three slightly different ways.

It comes with a 'warning' that "one cans contains about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee." Holy Cow... Watch out!! "Do not use if pregnant or lactating." I'll be sure to warn Jason. Maybe he shouldn't drink this one.

Caffeine Addict's Everlast Nutrition Cirtus Blast Review

I liked a couple of things about the Everlast Nutrition Citrus Blast, the first being that it tasted like a citrus drink, as the can described, not like Rumba or Omega, which tasted like crap. Secondly, I felt like Mike Tyson, which hopefully meant that I would be energetic like Mike, and not throw my career and fortune away on exotic pets and gold diggin' hos. This drink really tastes great, but I feel it might be repackaged KMX. The Everlast bears the same sticker-like can covering that the Happy Bunny novelty drinks carry, which makes me suspicious. Like KMX though, it tastes like an orange soda, and I like those.

Otherwise, the drink is rather low on the energy production. The can is small, and the price is higher than it should be. I am mostly surprised to see that the Everlast version isn't loaded with vitamins. Being that it's labeled as "Everlast Nutrition", I figured it would focus more on B vitamins than caffeine and taurine.

Energy Junkie's Everlast Nutrition Cirtus Blast Review

I have to say I'm really glad that the flavor stated on the can is what you actually taste. It's amazing. The flavor was a nice citrus with a little bit of a sour kick. The soda is very lightly carbonated which is very nice, except for when it warms. Then it tastes a little more like bitter orange juice. But fortunately with the great taste of a chilled Everlast you shouldn't have much of a problem of it getting warm.

I didn't experience a great energy increase, but I felt a little more alert. Overall not a bad drink. Considering this came from a vitamin store the specs aren't too bad, particularly the fact that this has no fat in it. The sugars are pretty low, but it still has an average amount of calories and sodium. The part that will really hurt this soda is the high price. $2.50 for a little drink that only tastes good isn't going to cut it. It will definitely bring the value points down past the low energy rating.
