Nerd Energy Drink Review
Well I have to say that even after over 140 Energy Drink Reviews I am still not surprised by the naming of energy drinks. Although I would have to say that I did see the name of this drink coming eventually! Nerd Energy was founded last year, but until recently I had not heard of it (which is too bad as you will later find out). This beverage was invented by a couple former college students (Vinicio Montes, Marlon Lozada) and an entrepreneur (Anthony Dow Jr). These guys came up with the concept of an energy drink that is supposed to enhance memory retention and deliver energy. Why didn't I think of that? All those late night cram sessions during college, then you wake up and all you think of is kicking your roommates ass for waking you up at bar close. Well I don't know if Nerd Energy would apply in that situation but it would come in handy in other situations. Basically this drink seems to have been created for college students by college students. Enough fluff and onto the review of the 12 ounce Nerd Energy Drink.

Nerd Energy Drink Review: Taste
Alright it has a cool name and pretty unique concept. But what does it taste like. All I can say is that after my first couple sips all I could think of was something that I used to drink as a kid. I couldn't figure it out at first but then it hit me, the Nerd Energy Drink kind of tastes like the Ecto Cooler Drink from Hi-C. Kind of a weird citrus cooler that has hints of lime, orange and other flavors. It was actually quite good and if you can remember way back to the Ecto Cooler days you will definitely enjoy this drink. I have actually never tasted an energy beverage quite like this. I wish I would have ran into this drink earlier as the taste is unique and was well received by me. No medicinal aftertaste and a unique taste, you can't go wrong here. Taste Rating 9.5

Nerd Energy Drink Review: Kick
Well the ecto cooler like taste was great, but how does the mental focus and kick work. Well I am done with college (finally), so I put the Nerd Energy Drink to the test at work. I tried it after lunch as this is when I (and most others) usually lose focus. Since the drink claims that it "enhances focus" I thought this to be a fair test. Nerd Energy does list the Focus and Memory ingredients on their website, but the only one that rang a bell was Chinese Ginko Biloba (you can check out the rest of the ingredients on their website). Either way I seemed more focused but then again it was either get my work done or stay late. So either the drink helped me focus better on my work or the thought of staying late kept me focused. Can't tell for sure. However, I can tell you that the energy blend gave off a pretty decent kick. With 120 milligrams of caffeine, 1500 milligrams of taurine, 37.5 milligrams of guarana extract and a very hefty helping of B-Vitamins per 12 ounce can Nerd delivers a pretty good kick. It is not one of the strongest energy drinks on the market but, hey you have to end that cram session eventually right. Kick Rating 8.5

Nerd Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
I originally started this blog because in college I started getting sick of the same old energy beverages (Red Bull, Rock Star, Monster Energy). That being said I wish Nerd would have been available when I was in college. The taste is great, the kick is good and the price ain't to shabby either. You can get a case of 12 ounce cans shipped to your door for $48.00. Basically the same price as Red Bull except you get a case of 12 ounce cans vs. 8.4 ounce cans. I have two quips about Nerd, first off they should develop a 16 ounce can just in case you have a little more cramming or gaming to get done; second they should introduce a sugar free / low calorie version. Otherwise great job! Final Judgment 9.3
