Bomba Black Currant Energy Drink Review
Well this beverage, Bomba Black Currant Energy Drink, is the fifth and final installment of the Bomba energy drink lineup. Previous reviews include; Bomba Original, Sugar Free, Berry, Ruby Orange all of which come in the unique 250 milliliter (8.4 ounce) grenade shaped glass or plastic bottle. Oh, they also offer a plastic grenade shaped 330 ml (12 ounce) bottle as well. Opening either of the bottles requires you to pull the top, kind of like pulling the pin on an actual grenade, which in turn lets out a burst of carbonation. Did I mention that they have been around since 1994, making them one of the oldest Energy Drinks on the market.

Bomba Black Currant Energy Drink Review: Taste
Well the flavor of the other 4 Bomba Energy Drinks was great, so I had high expectations for Black Currant. Did it measure up to my standards? Of course! Bomba Black Currant had a unique flavor that I was not quite sure of at first. I could tell there was a grape flavor in there, but there was something else blended in with the grape and sparkling water. Maybe cherry? I am not 100% sure on that, but either way it had a great taste and only 90 calories. No medicinal after taste whatsoever, a unique grape-cherry flavor and a sparkling water mix that is just plain refreshing. Taste Rating - 9.4

Bomba Black Currant Energy Drink Review: Kick
Well, the taste of all Bomba Drinks have met my expectations. Now the only down fall is that it only has 62.5 milligrams of caffeine and 75 milligrams of taurine (8.4 ounces), placing it along the same lines as a Red Bull. Now don't get me wrong, the kick was a great pick me up, there are just other drinks out there that are stronger. The 12 ounce version should pack a decent punch as there would be closer to 100 milligrams of caffeine in that one. However, if you like the kick from Red Bull, and you are not looking for an extreme hardcore energy drink, than any one of Bomba's refreshing drinks should do the trick for you. Kick Rating - 7.4

Bomba Black Currant Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
All I can continue to say is that I enjoyed all of Bomba's flavors. They combine unique flavors with sparkling water which end up giving you a refreshing and energetic kick. They have some unique packaging and are also working on increasing U.S distribution. My only complaint is that they need to make a bigger size than 12 ounces. The drink tastes good, making it easy to chug meaning it is easy to drink fast. A bigger size, say 16 ounces, would also allow for a bigger kick. Still can't complain too much, Bomba did the trick for me! Final Judgment - 8.6
