Hogan Energy Drink Review
Well this one has been out for quite awhile actually and I had planned to review the Hulk Energy Drink a long time ago since it was sitting in my upcoming Upcoming Energy Drinks section for quite some time (since June 2006 actually). However, I never actually ran into one and Socko (the parent company) never bothered to send me samples. Well I finally got my hands on the original Hogan Energy Drink so let's see how it fares in the review!

Hogan Energy Drink Review: Taste
What I can distinguish from the somewhat watered down flavor is a hint of watermelon capped off with a green apple flavor. When I say watered down I just mean it does not have that head turning bite like most ED's which in itself is not a bad thing. However, a big strong wrestler like the Hulk should have a strong drink as well but that is just not the case. The watermelon apple flavor did not quite do the trick for me and it was actually kind of a weird citrus flavor. I am not saying it is bad I have just had better. Since the Hulk probably had nothing to do with the flavor I am pretty sure I am safe from being brutally beaten after giving it sub par taste rating. Taste Rating - 8.0

Hogan Energy Drink Review: Kick
Well the taste was sub par but how does the Hulk Hogan Energy Drink stack up in the kick department? Well the energy ingredients include caffeine (unlisted amount) as well as 50 milligrams of guarana extract, 50 milligrams of Yerba Mate, 2000 milligrams of taurine and a bunch of b-vitamins. To top it all off their is some horny goat weed added to the drink which is supposed to increase your sex drive (don't quote me on that). Do you think the Hulk had anything to do with this addition? Either way the combination of energy ingredients did provide a slightly above average kick, but not enough to help me rip my shirt off. Kick Rating - 8.8

Hogan Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
I would classify this as more of a novelty energy drink than anything. Although it did perform decent in the kick category I don't see this having the staying power of the more popular ED's like Monster Energy Drink, Red Bull and Rockstar. But hey I could be wrong, it did happen one other time. Final Judgment - 8.4
