Shark Lite Energy Drink Review

Here is Shark Lite Energy Drink straight from Europe. I got hooked up big time with a bunch of energy drinks by a buddy named Giovanni and Shark Lite is my first one to review. Shark Lite is of course the sugar free version of Shark Energy Drink which I have previously reviewed. The can has been made a little more interesting with more dynamism and color, but still retains the Shark logo which is pretty unique. I don't know why they chose green as the primary color for the lite Shark since it has nothing to do with sharks, but why guess. Like almost all Continental European Energy Drinks the can is the bullet 250 ml, 8 ounce with a small pop top.

Shark Lite is your classic Red Bull Clone. To my palette it does seem better than the original Shark, maybe it's because I got this one straight from Europe where everything is better. Shark Lite Energy has the classic apple grape gumminess, but overlays some orange juice flavor on top of that. There's a front loaded sweetness with a little tang that goes with the orange juice flavor. If you have ever mixed apple and orange juice this is somewhat similar although it still has the bubble gum flavor to it common in RB clones. Overall I find Shark Lite a little too sweet with some pointed bitterness coming at the end of the flavor.

While the Shark is a ferocious animal, Shark Lite Energy Drink is not the choice for a ferocious energy drink. Shark Lite did give me a boost but it was by no means a major pick me up. I got about 3 hours of medium level energy from Shark, hardly befitting of the strong name. I expected more from this 13 calorie, 2.9 carb drink. The ingredients are B Vitamins, taurine, glucuronolactone, acesulfame potassium, salt, inositol, natrium saccharin, guarana, and choline. Because of the saccharin I'm going to slap the dubious ingredient tag on this baby.

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.
