Erektus Guarana Energy Drink Review

Erektus is an all natural energy drink that is doing very well in Eastern Europe and parts of Africa. The beverage is brought to us by the Czech makers of Semtex. With a pedigree like that you know that Erektus will have high expectations. I have had many all natural energy drinks in the USA, but have never seen one come out of Europe before so am really excited. Erektus Energy Drink comes in the classic 8 ounce can that is all yellow with a bony, knobby stick figure guy. It is the natural element of Erektus that makes it exciting since it combines mostly energy producing herbs to give the drinker a boost.

I had no idea what Erektus was going to taste like. I thought maybe it would be a dark, smoky energy drink since the can is kind of similar to the one for Dark Dog, another guarana based European energy drink. I could not have been more wrong. Erektus comes out of the can with a light red color. The non-carbonated beverage is in the mold of an excellent strawberry lemonade. It has a very smooth taste being only lightly sweetened so that it makes a great lemonade flavor. The lemon aspect is clear and clean up front with sour edges that remind me of a fresh squeezed lemon. The strawberry is mild and blends flawlessly with the lemonade flavor. Considering how many herbal ingredients are blended into Erektus Energy Drink I am very impressed with how pure the flavor is.

I call Erektus an all natural energy drink because it features mostly energy producing herbs and has only a few non-herbal ingredients. Those non-herbal ingredients are ingredients I am happy to see with 1000 mg of taurine, 75 mg of caffeine, L-carnitine, and B Vitamins. The herbal ingredient list is impressive with guarana, ginseng, schizandra, damiana, and mate. With a line up like that you expect an incredible energy rush and you get it. Erektus had me fired up, big time. I felt like my energy boost was deeper than normal tapping into areas of my body that I normally didn't feel in an energy rush. You are wide awake and clear on this boost with a great shot of stamina. I enjoyed Erektus greatly and am hopeful I will find more European energy drinks of this caliber.
