Talon Blood Punch Energy Drink Review
Today I got to try one of the Talon Energy Drinks. They come in a variety of flavors and sizes. The sizes are 16 ounce and 24 ounce and the flavors are original, sugar free and blood punch which I am going to review today. The Talon Energy drink line is made by Fluid Motion Beverages for exclusive distribution at Circle K stores. So yeah they are pretty easy to find. If you are not sure where a Circle K is you can check the Talon Energy Drink website for directions to your nearest Circle K. Well enough fluff and onto the review of the Blood Punch Talon Energy Drink.

Talon Blood Punch Energy Drink Review: Taste
First off I would like to point out that the ingredient list contains "Natural Blood Orange Flavor." What is that? I don't know and I am not sure if I really want to find out. It's probably just some synthetic forumula with that name. So what does blood punch taste like. Well it doesn't taste like blood (no I don't drink blood, but I have had a fat lip or two), but it does taste like fruit punch. Actually a quite good fruit punch. It reminds me of Hawaiian Punch. There is no medicinal aftertaste at all, just a solid Hawaiian Punch tasting flavor. It's quite good. Taste Rating - 9.0

Talon Blood Punch Energy Drink Review: Kick
Well great fruit punch taste followed up by a pretty decent kick. Don't get me wrong, the kick was enjoyable and I could definitely feel it. But the 16 ounce version was just not enough to get me jumping through hoops. The 16 ounce version however does have 174 milligrams of caffeine, combined with 2000 milligrams of taurine, a healthy serving of B-Vitamins, and some Guarana extract (60 milligrams)which in itself should deliver a good kick. Maybe the kick was masked by the great fruit punch flavor? Most energy drinks taste like you are getting a great kick (medicinal aftertaste) whereas Blood Punch had no medicinal aftertaste at all. Now the 24 ounce version might be a different story as it has 261 milligrams of caffeine which is plenty to get you moving. Next time I get one of these I will probably opt for a 24 ounce version. Either way the kick was still pretty good. Kick Rating (16 ounce versions) - 8.8

Talon Blood Punch Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
Hawaiian Punch flavored taste is superb and the kick is above average. I definitely enjoyed Blood Punch Talon, I would just recommend the 24 ounce version for those looking for a bigger pick me up. If you normally drink 8.4 Ounce RedBulls you will be more than satisfied with a 16 ounce Talon. In fact you will probably enjoy it more because it tastes a lot better than Red Bull. Final Judgment - 8.9
