Peptime Island Lemon Lime Energy Shot Review

I am back with another Peptime Energy Shot to try, this time the Island Lemon Lime flavor. Peptime has not been my favorite energy shot, but I will say that I have been using shots more and more. I just drink them on the go. Sure you have a brief moment of pain from the less than stellar flavor, but then it's in your system doing it's work to wake you up and get you going. Peptime as a brand is about average so far and I am interested to see how the lemon lime version goes. Luckily this is Island Lemon Lime, because we all know that the islands produce the best tasting fruit flavors. HAHAHA!

Usually the lemon lime versions of the shots are the worst because they are too tart. But for Peptime it is the best of the lot. I would still put it a notch below On Go and 6 Hour, but this is a decent energy shot that you can consume without much pain. The flavor starts with a quick blast of lime tartness. Then your brain kicks on and the flavor starts to spread and before you know it bitterness has washed across your tongue. It's not unbearable, but is definitely present. After that a little flat lemonade flavor hits your tongue. It's pretty marginal as far as taste goes, but that still gives Peptime Island Lemon Lime enough to beat out several other brands of energy shots.

Peptime has been solid on the energy rush. It's not an elite shot in terms of a boost, but it does get the job done. I found Lemon Lime to fit the same mold as the other Peptimes. Decent energy for about 4 hours that doesn't kick in quite as fast as other shots, but nothing out of this world. Peptime does merge a good lemon lime flavor with decent energy though and that is enough for some. The ingredients are: caffeine (200 mg), B Vitamins, taurine, glucuronolactone, caffeine, glycerine, malic acid, citric acid, and EDTA. Would I drink Peptime Island Lemon Lime again… definitely, but it's not going to be the first shot I reach for when I need some extreme energy in a small bottle.

Hammerhead Energy Drink Review

Along comes another aquatic predator drink to go with Piranha and Shark (which I still haven't found anywhere). Hammerhead comes in a sleek black 8 oz. can that looks as bad ass as a shark. This can shows Piranha how to do a good energy drink can. By the way I almost caught a shark which would have been awesome. I would have mounted the head and added a can opener into the mouth so that I could easily open my energy drinks. Plus that'd just be cool to have a shark hanging on the wall with all my energy cans. Sadly it wasn't a hammerhead, only a 6 foot lemon shark and it got away since I'm a bad fisherman. You can blame my drunk buddies who were too busy giving me alcohol instead of energy drinks, if I had some more taurine in me I'm sure I would have landed the shark. The theme for Hammerhead is "attack life", and with taurine flowing in your system, you'll always be primed for attack. Cool theme and can.

Hammerhead looks like Iron Energy Lemon Lime but more yellowish. It actually looks somewhat more like oragina than a lemon-lime drink. This is another tasty lemon-lime drink to go with Iron Energy. It has a strong lime flavor in the mold of lime wrecker, mixed with a sweet lemonade taste. It's not thick and syrupy, and has only a tiny bit of sourness. It's a really well balanced drink that goes down easy. I think it has a stronger flavor than Iron Energy so might be too much for everyday drinking, but is a good lemon lime energy shot when needed.

The ingredients aren't stellar but are all natural without HFCS and featuring sucrose, caffeine, taurine, sucralose, american ginseng, green tea, and guarana. I'm surprised that there are no vitamins added but I guess that makes this a good choice if you're a vitamin junky and don't want to overdose on vitamins. Grab a can of this and hammer it down for a pretty sizable buzz that won't leave you jittery.
