XO-5 Berry Energy Drink Review
Well this will be the last Energy Drink Review I will be doing for the XO Energy Drinks unless they come up with new product or flavors. I have tried the previous 5 flavors of XO and I have to say I have been quite pleased with all of them in both the taste and kick categories. Here is a brief background on the XO. First off they come in a resealable 6 ounce plastic bottle that has 110 total calories. This may sound like a lot of calories for such a tiny ED but I will expand on this further in the kick review. Since this drink is not carbonated I am going to use it this morning during my workout. Let's see if it performs as well as the last five.

XO-5 Berry Energy Drink Review: Taste
At about 6:15 a.m. I started to make my way to the gym. It's about a 15 minute drive to the gym and on the way I cracked the XO Berry Energy Drink. I drank it at room temperature and I would have to say that this was probably one of the smoothest berry flavored energy drinks that I have tried. It's at these times I wish the XO came in larger or double sizes just so you could enjoy them longer as 6 ounces goes down pretty quick, especially since it is so smooth. Out of the total 6 reviews on the XO Energy Drinks this one might be my favorite, or at least a close tie with the XO Vanilla. Taste Rating - 9.0

XO-5 Berry Energy Drink Review: Kick
So the flavor is smooth berry. I already knew how the kick would perform as all 6 flavors use the same energy ingredients which include 47 milligrams of caffeine, 800 milligrams of taurine and 2 milligrams of B6. I know your saying, only 47 milligrams of caffeine? How does that work? Well when you combine all those energy ingredients with 27 grams of carbs you get a pretty good kick. Especially since you get a nice quick kick from the caffeine and B-Vitamins and a sustained boost from the carbohydrates. This is why I enjoy using the XO products at the gym. By the time I get there (15 minutes) I am pumped and ready to go, yet I have sustained energy to last me through my hour or so session at the gym. Overall a good kick, almost as good as 5 Hour Energy. Kick Rating - 8.9

XO-5 Berry Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
Although I liked some flavors more than others, I would have to say that the XO lineup is by far one of the best tasting energy shots available on the market. There is probably a flavor for everyone and all of them are quite smooth. Pick one of these up, in my opinion it is worth it. You can pick one of these 6 ounce shots up for $1.69 to $1.99. Final Judgment 9.0
