Every once in a while a product comes along that is so bad you can't drink it. When that happens, I drink it anyway because I am dedicated to the energy drink cause. Brazilian Guarana is just such a product. Thanks to my trip to France where taurine seems to be outlawed I am no stranger to guarana energy drinks and feel fully qualified to critique this one. Let me start by saying it is one of the worst drinks easily and will be moving onto the BLACK LIST. There are good guarana drinks out there but this is not one of them. This drink manufactured by Stacker who has also brought us other BLACK LIST products like Pounding Punch comes in an 8 oz. can which is good, because of it was 16 oz. there is no way I would have drank the whole thing. It's got an interesting green color scheme that was unique before AMP redid there cans and features a three X sign that is sure to attract any male who sees it. That symbol should stand for serious danger though.
Brazilian Guarana is a dull copper color. It really is nearly undrinkable and is a new low, worse than previous worst offender, Deuce, by far. There is a heavy, heavy bubble gum flavor, massive bitterness, and a mix of fruit and cola. It's the complete opposite of nice guarana drinks like Pepsi X.
If you're still considering drinking it here are the ingredients: HFCS, caffeine, taurine, Vitamin C, B Vitamins, yerba mate, ginseng, and guarana. The sad thing is that even with those decent ingredients I didn't get a good buzz. Maybe its because I was so disgusted by the taste. AVOID!!!
