Redline Power Rush Energy Drink Review
Well it has been quite awhile since I reviewed the original Redline Energy Drink. The bottles have changed slightly and they have added new flavors. Unfortanately I have not had a chance to try those new flavors but I do know that the Original Redline was in my top 5 for Strongest Energy Drinks. So when I heard about the new 2.5 ounce Redline Power Rush energy drink I was quite intrigued. Is Redline trying to go after 5-Hour Energy? It kind of looks like it since the tag line on Redline Power Rush states "7-Hour Energy Boost." Well is this fact true? And how does the new 2.5 ounce Exotic Fruit Power Rush taste? Well read on to find out.

Redline Power Rush Energy Drink Review: Taste
Alright if you remember the last Redline Energy Drink review you know that the taste was not the greatest. So again I did not have high expectations when trying the new Redline Power Rush. I mean all that in a little 2.5 ounce bottle? Either way I shook the bottle before consuming (I have learned my lesson from other Energy Shots). My first sip was actually not too bad. You could definitely taste a mix of fruits; however, it was followed by a somewhat medicinal aftertaste which is understandable for an energy shot. After that I took one more gulp and the 2.5 ounce shot was gone. It was better than the original (maybe because I had to consume less?) and the mixed fruit flavor helped to hide all the energy ingredients too. Taste Rating - 6.5
Redline Power Rush Energy Drink Review: Kick
Well the taste is improved but will this little energy shot produce the same power as it's bigger sibling? Well this little 2 ounce bugger contains 175 milligrams of caffeine per serving. So since their is 2 servings in this shot it equates to 350 milligrams of caffeine if you drink the whole thing. But just to let you know that Redline only recommends using 1/2 the bottle for a full seven hours of energy. If you are caffeine sensitive I don't recommend trying this one at all. So did I follow directions? No I slammed the whole thing and I paid the price. I was a little jittery at first but then things did eventually calm down. Seven hours of energy? Well I didn't set a stop watch to it but I don't believer the kick lasted quite that long. However, as the bottle states there was no crash. The energy just sort of tapered off. Regardless the kick is good and is defintely on par with all the other hardcore enrgy drinks. It has been awhile since I had the original Redline but I think the kick factor of Power Rush is pretty much on par with it's bigger sibling. Kick Rating - 9.5
Redline Power Rush Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
The price tag might be a little steep but you definitely get the kick you are looking for. The taste is not too bad for an energy shot either, it is actually slightly better than the original. Just be careful if you use this to workout. It does have a lot of caffeine so make sure you consume plenty of water to offset the dehydration effects. Final Judgment - 8.5

being a medical school student and abusing caffeine quite frequently (school is exhausting) this energy "shot" isn't doing much for me. But that doesn't mean it doesn't work. I think perhaps I didn't wait long enough? Then again I just read the bottle and it only has 163mg of caffeine, less than a cup of coffee unless you down both of the "2 servings". Still...people like me need an instant gratification, especially on test days... I prefer pitbull sugar free.
ok so I drank an entire bottle after not sleeping for 2 days and not eating or drinking since the night before. Not a good idea. If your thinking of trying it...DON'T. I felt like I was dying. My hands were shaking, couln't breath well, I could barely feel my fingers, my legs cramped up, I was very dizzy, and could not walk on my own very well.......
and then i read the bottle.....=]
I workout hard and heavy 5 days a week and after a 10 hour work day, I am beat to sh*t. I bought one these Redline Power Rush drinks figuring to see if it would help. I have to tell you this is KICK ASS! I had a great workout and my recovery was really good. I would recommend it to anybody that wants a great workout after a hard day at work. No jitters or dizziness for me and I just tapered down and went to bed at my regular time and slept like a baby. Just my .02
I did the 5 hour powers and there ok but you get use to them. now these are fantastic. 2 servings is really 14 hours. i use them for work and it is the best. me and my friends refer to them and the dank.
For those of you concerned about the high amounts of stimulants in this and how to truly get 2 servings out of such a small bottle without accidentally drinking it all at once. Try pouring the contents of the bottle in one 16oz bottle of water. For one it will dilute the flavor quite a bit and makes all of the flavors of this shot taste absolutely amazing. And second, it makes it much easier to get two servings out of this without having to drink the entire thing. Hope that helps!
I took 3 Bottles yesterday . 1 20 mins before the gym . another 1 5 mins before my workout after a 10 min cardio set and then 1 before i went out at night. so in all 6 doses of the stuff. I sware to god i was shaking and trembling and my stomach was and still is in agony. Adrenaline was rushing through me and i felt as if i was on fire. Was sick a little bit. hardly any sleep at all last night but today im wide awake!. Id recomend this to people who like some have stressful liffes like mines ie work all day and train at nights. Take this if you are seriously needin an energy kick but dont take 3 bottles!!! MAYBE LOOKS SMALL - BUT O M G !!!!!!! 10/10
I'm a pretty heavy coffee drinker on a daily basis. I don't usually take these things since I just prefer coffee but sometimes I just don't want to pee after all the liquid!
Anyway, I've been up a lot the last two days probably having slept about six hours total. So I shoot this thing down and I got this great buzz!...for about five minutes and then I CRASHED.
I've been searching online for anything regarding high doses of caffeine actually doing the reverse of keeping you up as I've experienced here. My guess is that my sleep deprivation is just severe enough that it just is finally telling me to shut it down and get some sleep.
I'll have to try it again when I'm less sleep deprived and see if the results vary. At this point, I'd recommend against it unless you want to crash hard!
