Rockstar Energy Shot Review

I feel like I have been waiting for Rockstar Energy Shot for so long, but it has only been a few days since I even heard about it. Rockstar is the first of the big boys to release an energy shot (NOS Power Shot hardly counts), but they will not be the last since Monster and AMP are coming out with their own shots soon. Rockstar bucks the shot trend by going for a 2.5 ounce package, which is larger than your classic 5 Hour Energy Shot. The tall thin bottle is nice looking, but I think the packaging falls down a bit compared to what I expect. The black color and theme mimic the original Rockstar beverage, but the label seems a little cheap and chintzy (you'll see it better when I get a real good picture up). Still there is no doubt that this bad boy is classic Rockstar all the way. The nicest touch is the little cross hairs for the O in Energy Shot. There's also a little caution sign on the back that reads, "Caution: Powerful."

Rockstar has called Rockstar Energy Shot a Wild Berry flavor. I don't know if I would call it wild berry, but it is pretty smooth going down. When you shoot this puppy, it's like you don't even feel it. The berry flavor is a mixture of raspberry, strawberry and blackberry. It definitely has an artificial feel to the flavor, but still tastes good. Like most shots that are zero carbs and zero sugar there is a little bit of artificial aftertaste, but it isn't too bad overall. Again like most shots there is plenty of citric acid that leaves a sharp bit. On the whole though, I think Rockstar Energy Shot is one of the better shots on the market and I like it better than most.

Where Rockstar Enegy Shot really excels is on the kick. This shot had me standing on top of my head I was so wired with energy. The energy boost you get lasts easily 6 hours and is strong in intensity. There's no doubt you'll be partying all night long in true Rockstar fashion off of just one shot. Rockstar Energy Shot is like fuel for your veins with its 1000 mg taurine, 200 mg caffeine, L-carnitine, guarana, inositol, ginseng, and the patented Rockstar Milk Thistle. Rockstar Energy Shot also adds some purified filtered water (only the highest quality), phosphoric acid, benzoic acid, sorbic acid, B Vitamins, neotame and sucralose. I am very impressed with Rockstar Energy Shot and if they only adjusted the packaging they would have the hands down category leader.
