Burn Instinct Energy Drink Review

I had Burn Energy Drink on a trip to France, but had never seen or heard of Burn Instinct. Burn Instinct is Coke's new line extension to Burn. Because Burn was my favorite energy drink found in Europe at the time I am excited to try this. It still has a nice attractive 8 ounce can, but the look is a little less clean and more busy. Still it hands down beats any of Coke's Full Throttle Energy Drink cans and is superior to Mother Energy, so it's already a runaway success in the looks department, but I also aim to evaluate the taste and energy kick.

This is one of the most delicious energy drinks I have had in a long time. Burn Instinct has a combination of grenadine and orange at its base. There's a ginger zing that mixes with a maraschino cherry into a perfect harmony for your mouth. A truly perfect amount of sweetness run through it. It leaves a spicy tingle on your lips and throat that qualify Burn Instinct as a sensation drink in my book. This is a really excellent drink and the best I have tried from Coca Cola, in fact I am going to add it to my top ten taste list.

Each can of Burn Instinct has 38 grams of sugar and 158 calories. France until recently outlawed taurine so there is no taurine in Burn Instinct. Instead there's ginseng, guarana, ginger, sugar, citric acid and 80 mg of caffeine. The buzz you get from this is solid and definitely adequate to wake you up and get your internals humming. Burn Instinct won't knock your socks off, but does give enough energy for the average consumer. You can count on this to boost you without a spike and not overload you. While not the most powerful energy drink from Europe it may be the best tasting.
