Diet Ronin Energy Drink Review

The pale green can for Diet Ronin is subtle and misty. Ronin is of course the name for samurais who had decided to go without masters and forge their own path. They were bad ass warriors and fiercely independent. Of course that's a great quality for an energy drink. I fear the name maybe a bit too subtle for most consumers but since everyone likes to get tatoos with chinese characters this simplicity of the can design with the kanji on there should be attractive. The can is a nicely designed but spartan 16 oz. The color makes me think of green tea, which would fit in nicely with the asian theme here.

Diet Ronin has a yellowish green color that looks somewhat like a less glowing MDX. It's transparent but a little cloudy. Upon tasting it, it has a rough edge and has a very noticeable wheat like taste similar in some ways to Stinger Sinful Citrus. There's a subtle lime flavor on the back end. It's not very sweet and has only a little noticeable artificial sweetener aftertaste. There's some green tea flavor and a little melon mixed in. It's hard to really pinpoint the flavor but it is strangely appealing. Maybe it is the appeal of the Ronin getting to me. I guess you could best describe it as a mix of subtle lime and green tea.

Diet Ronin rocked my world. This thing packs a punch and will give you the energy of a warrior. After drinking this I was a blur for the rest of the night, jumping everywhere and full of energy. The ingredients are carbonated water, neotame, acesulfame potassium, malititol, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, B Vitamins, selenium, calcium, coenzyme Ⱞ, green tea extract, grape seed extract, ginseng, caffeine, l-cysteine, alpha lipoic acid, taurine. All that and only 15 calories per can. There's so much stuff in here that I can't even pinpoint what might have made me so hyper. I've never heard of neotame before and it turns out that it is a new sugar substitute made by Nutrasweet. Lipoic acid is also a new one and seems to be an antioxidant. Combine that with all the vitamins, ᾮ, and green tea extract and this drink has some serious antioxidant power. It's not the best flavored, but is intriguing and with all that energy power and healthy ingredients, I would highly recommend this in the hope of finding your warrior energy.
