We really liked Amp Energy with Green Tea. If you are a tea fan, then this is a drink to check out, combining the unique taste elements with the features of an energy drink. The sweetness of the general Amp Energy flavor counteracted the sometimes bitter experience you get from a tea, but the overall flavor profile blended with with a citrus hint. Thumbs up!

The flavor of Her Energy drink is excellent. Pink Lemonade is a good choice for a beverage aimed at the female market, and the branding and product positioning seem solid. The sugar free version isn't as great tasting as regular, and the premium pricing may scare away those interested in the concept. However, those that do try Her Energy probably will not be disappointed in the taste experience.

Amp Energy Tradin' Paint is an interesting mixture of orange, lime, and berry flavors that seamlessly blend together, only slightly hinting at a primary berry-tasting base despite its yellow color. It's refreshing and does provide a kick of caffeine. Fan of NASCAR or not, it's a worthy limited-edition to join the Amp Energy lineup. You may want to "trade paint" if you get the chance!

No Fear Motherload is a rather tasty, tropical-influenced drink that has a smooth taste that is bookended by a harsh bitterness. For some reason, the smooth/bitter combo works, producing an energy drink that's bound to keep you bouncing off the walls with its 11.4 mg/oz. of caffeine!

If you are watching your caloric consumption, No Fear Sugar Free is a strong contender, though it has a bitter aftertaste produced by the artificial sweeteners. Far more syrupy in flavor than No Fear Regular, the sour berry/grape taste tends to be a little different, which is nice. Still, if sugar free isn't a concern, then go for the Regular version.
