Wired X5000 Energy Drink Review
Another Friday, another Wired Energy Drink Review. I wish I could say I was getting sick of trying all the new Wired Flavors but so far I have been nothing but pleased with the entire line up. They have quite an extensive line up with about 16 different flavors ranging from 8.4 ounces to 23.5 ounces. Some with tons of caffeine some with average amounts. So they literally do have something for everyone. That being said I will quit tooting Wired's horn (even though I am a big fan) and move onto the review of the Wired X5000.

Wired X5000 Energy Drink Review: Taste
Well today's drink comes in a 23.5 ounce can. Yeah it's that big. What does it taste like? Well this one tastes more like your regular old fashioned energy drink. So it tastes similar to the original Monster Energy Drink. So if you are a fan of Monster you should like this one. However, I personally am not a huge fan of Monster Energy so needless to say I like the other Wired Flavors better. So it tastes like a Monster Energy Drink but I think it has less of a medicinal aftertaste. Either way the taste is still OK. Taste Rating - 8.6

Wired X5000 Energy Drink Review: Kick
The taste is OK but I like the Wired Energy Drinks for their kick. Ever since they introduced the Wired X-294 with 294 milligrams of caffeine they have been pushing the envelope with their caffeine content. There drinks like X-344 (344 milligrams of caffeine) and X-505 (505 milligrams of caffeine) give you a huge kick. Now the Wired X-5000 is not quite in that category but it does give you a good kick for your dollar as it has 145 milligrams of caffeine, a ton of taurine (4400 milligrams) and an super size helping of B-Vitamins. So yeah it may not be on par with the Wired 505 in the kick category (few drinks are), but it does deliver a good kick. Kick Rating 9.0

Wired X5000 Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
Decent taste, strong kick huge can. This may not be my favorite Wired beverage but it is another nice addition to the complete Lineup. If you like Monster or Redbull give this over grown puppy a try. Final Judgment - 8.8
