‘Merica Labz Merica Energy Drink Review
Taste
Impeachment (Peach) –. The flavor is realistic, has a strong sweet peach flavor that hits you from the very first sip. The conjunction of the carbonation instantly made me think of a diet peach fanta with the enrichment of eating a fresh peach. How ‘Merica Energy got the flavoring so pure on this drink is surreal. This was the biggest surprise to me out of all the drinks from ‘Merica Energy. I am not a peach fan by any means, but this flavor is the best of the five current flavors
Freedom – Freedom is a bombsicle knockoff. To me, this flavor did not provide enough depth to duplicate a freedom flavor. The combination or the blue raspberry, cherry, and lime were a little lackluster on the sweetness as the carbonation overpowered it. This was my least favorite of all the flavors on the line.
Let’s Make ‘Merica Grape Again (Grape) – The ‘Merica Labz Grape provides a bold grape flavor that resembles a fanta soda. The carbonation and flavor combination leaves a very clean taste that is refreshing on your taste buds. Most people are not huge grape fans, but this flavor is a great replica for anyone who likes diet grape soda.
Not Your Granny’s Apple (Apple) – Being a big apple fan this flavor was one that sparked my interest. What I truly enjoy is the crispness of the apple flavor. The aftertaste provides a hint of sour apple, which gives you the best of both worlds. With a great combination of sour and sweet this flavor is well rounded.
‘Merican Made (Orange) – The orange flavor in ‘Merica Enegy is not something that will pack a punch like an apple or impeachment. The subtle taste provides a refreshing flavor from the first sip until the aftertaste. This is nowhere as sweet as tang, but reminds me of a Sunkist drink that has a fresh taste to it. For those who do not like overpowering sweet orange flavor, this is the drink for you.
Formula
- There are no artificial colors in any of the ‘Merica Labz energy drinks making them clear.
‘Merica Energy formula carries over vitamin B6 and B12, which is found in both Bang, Hyde Power Potion, and C4 Carbonated Energy Drinks There is a ‘Merica Energy and Focus Blend which highlights:
250mg Acetyl L-Carnitine – Enhanced focus, improved memory, and neuroprotecitve effects
250mg Choline Bitartrate – Enhances focus, memory, and mood.
~200mg Caffeine – This is the stimulant provided in the energy drink.
50mg Guarana Extract - Metabolism booster in addition to the potent amount of caffeine it provides.
The caffeine intake is similar to the C4 Carbonated Energy drink, but lower by 100-150mg from Bang Energy Drink & Hyde Power Potion. The inclusion of Acetyl L-Carnitine, Choline, and Guarana help provide a synergistic effect for a prolonged caffeine half-lfie.
Cost
$30-35/Case direct from ‘Merica Labz. There are other vendors who do stock the product for a bit cheaper (~$27/Case). If you do grab 2 cases for $50 you get free shipping which is a great incentive. Most consumers it is hard to sell them on a case of 12 energy drinks before trying a single. With the option of a mixed case that provides 3 peach, 3 freedom, 2 grape, 2 apple, and 2 orange cans this makes it a worthwhile investment Not all companies provide this, which makes it easy to help you choose what flavors to buy in the future based off taste preference.
