No Fear Regular has a bitter, yet rewarding taste often associated with energy drinks. The berry/grape taste combined with an attractive sour flavor is surprisingly welcome, while the high amounts of supplements quench those desiring an energy soft drink with a little charge.

Verve Energy Drink is for those who like to drink their vitamins and are looking for a little pep in their day. While the taste is a bit questionable, it packs quite a bit of healthy stuff into a small can. However, if you are expecting something a bit more mainstream, you might want to consider exploring elsewhere.

Amp Energy Lightning does not taste horribly like cleaning solution, but rather provided a peppy, bubbly lemonade experience. It lacks the negative aftertaste typically associated with energy drinks, which is a huge plus. This is a solid addition to the Amp Energy lineup and recommended.

While proclaiming to be a combination of cinnamon, vanilla, and coffee, I was underwhelmed by Starbucks Doubleshot Energy+Coffee Cinnamon Dulce. The coffee and vanilla flavors are present, but cinnamon would appear to be a no-show. This is disappointing, as the blend offered promise, but doesn't seem to deliver. If you are fan of this energy drink and coffee line of hybrids, it's worth a taste… but could have been better.

Packed with a hearty, robust, and somewhat chocolate-infused flavor, Starbucks Doubleshot Energy+Coffee Mocha is the energy drink you never knew you wanted, assuming that you might have wanted an energy drink that tasted like a cold cup of coffee. Still, an abundance of flavors make this a smooth, yet refreshing experience.

If looking for a creamier, sweeter, and smoother cold coffee drink experience, Starbucks Doubleshot Energy+Coffee Vanilla is a solid bet. Its energy drink attributes provide an uplift for those looking for such, while the use of vanilla flavoring makes it appealing for both coffee and non-coffee drinker alike.

This Coffee flavor of Starbucks Doubleshot Energy+Coffee was actually quite good. Even I liked it, and I hate coffee! It's rather sweet and creamy, while loaded with a ton of calories, so enjoy in moderation. However, if you are looking for a coffee-like buzz along with the pick-me-up associated with an energy drink, then this is the beverage for you!

Full Throttle Mother is the worst entry in Coke's energy drink line. The flavor doesn't resemble anything remotely describable and the overall taste experience is quite negative. Despite the claims of natural flavors with acai, it's not a good beverage. If you come across it for whatever reason, move along!

Full Throttle Blue Demon is a berry-flavored extension in Coke's energy drink lineup, which also features the original Full Throttle and orange-flavored Full Throttle Fury. The initial taste was strong and rather good, but the flavor just seemed to die out after that, leaving a washed out berry aftertaste.

Squirt Citrus Power is a enjoyable citrus soda/energy drink hybrid. The increase in caffeine, addition of taurine and B vitamins, and unique grapefruit taste make this a nice addition to the market. The familiarity of the brand and intentional courting of the casual beverage fan could be very positive for this flavor extension.
