All City NRG Drink Review
So what's all the buzz about this new Energy Drink? Seems to me that a lot of the buzz is circulating around the design of the 3 16 ounce cans of the All City NRG Drink from Arizona Beverages. Although the flavor of all 3 of these drinks are identical, the cans are all quite unique with their distinct graffiti like tagging. What does "All City" mean? According to Arizona Beverages, which originated in Brooklyn, it is a term describing the "New York Street Artists who have made their mark in all five boroughs." I have yet to try a Single Arizona Energy Drink, but from what I hear they are worth it. So I am definitely looking forward to trying my first Arizona Energy Drink and I am glad that the All City NRG Drink will be my first.
All City NRG Drink Review: Taste
Usually Green Tea flavors are associated with Arizona Energy Drinks, but that is not quite the case with the All City NRG Drink. Although you can taste a hint of tea flavoring, the majority of the taste falls into the fruit punch style, more specifically a pomegranate flavor. This drink is also non-carbonated and when combined with the fruit punch / pomegranate juice flavor it really shines. All City NRG also contains 5% juice. But what really intrigues me is the fact that this is in essence a green tea based energy drink, but when it comes down to it the green tea flavoring is not prevalent at all. In my opinion this is a good thing as usually when you get a green tea based drink the tea flavoring is quite overwhelming and sometimes even bitter. That being said, for my first Arizona Energy Drink, I was more than pleased. I now plan to try more ED's from Arizona's line up. Taste Rating - 9.3
All City NRG Drink Review: Kick
All right the cans are very unique and the flavoring / taste is very good, but will the kick suffice? In my experience, when an energy drink tastes this good, the kick is usually lack luster. However, this is not the case for the All City NRG Drink. With energy ingredients (per 16 ounce serving) like 300 milligrams of caffeine, 2000 milligrams of taurine, 200 milligrams of Panax Ginseng, 200 milligrams of Guarana and a bunch of B-Vitamins this drink delivers again. Typically you don't see Mainstream Energy drinks with this much energy, especially this much caffeine. This not only trumps Monster, it literally destroys Red Bull. It may not be the strongest ED on the market, but it is probably one of the strongest you will see in Mass Distribution. Kick Rating - 9.2
All City NRG Drink Review: Final Judgment
Unique cans, great taste and a kick that beats out 90% of the mainstream competition. My suggestion to you is to give one of these a try. It sounds like these cans are going to be limited edition, so your best bet is to get your hands on one ASAP. However, my gut feeling is that these will go over quite well, so Arizona is going to have to keep these puppies on the shelf. There are 5 boroughs in New York and only 3 can designs. Maybe with any luck we will see two more original can designs released later. Final Judgment - 9.3

can you get this stuff in Massachusetts???¿¿¿
I have to say this stuff tastes really good. sweetish with a slight aftertaste. made me wirey with a slight crash afterwards, but tastes good.
Bad ratings man, It tasted like shit with an awful medicinal aftertaste. It gave me about an hours worth of energy and then I literally crashed so hard I couldn't hold my arm still without it shaking. I tried this today on the basis of this review, beware when trying this product. BTW I do love your reviews man, keep up the good work
wow eric- your review is the worst! i have yet to encounter someone who doesnt like this drink. and medicine? obviously you cant appreciate the less carbonated, healthier, lighter, and sweet tea/pomegranate taste. why dont you stick to the monster or go party like a rock star. this drink is awesome, and i did not experience a hard crash, this drink kept me energized all night and i am an absolute caffeine addict.
You can get this drink at big lots
Like Brandon mentions, you can get this stuff at Big Lots for 70 cents a can!!!
The taste - it's decent.
The buzz - it's strong.
The can design - who cares.
The value - at 70 cents, AMAZING!
I'm thinking All City/Vodka!
Thanks,

You can get it for 70cents at big lots on rt 44 in Taunton, MA. This drink is amazing, it's liquid stamina... I experienced no crash!...Eric... shakes really, I think not.
People expeirence things differently,for all we know Eric could be diabetic but doesn't know it. I don't think he was making anything up.
f*****ck d00d ive been hanging out 4 al these foreign energy drinks!! i'm in Australia and we got a shit ones!! the only good one is Samedi, Wicked and V which i c u havnt tried yet, u gotta get wicked tho!!! its da 1 wif a dragon.
I remember back in 2006-07 when I was about 11-12 years old and I first tried this stuff out before it was recalled for reviews of alcoholic content. I was taking karate classes in a small, dinky basement in a gymnastics center and I was an avid connoisseur of energy drinks, ranging from Red Bull, to Stacker5 Stingers. I noticed a rather bitter taste to the product and I drank it down over the course of a half-hour. By the time I threw it out, I felt woozy and light-headed, and my behavior became reprehensible to the teacher. I was kicked out of karate classes and this was the FIRST (AND ONLY) TIME I WAS INEBRIATED. All in all, back then, I didn't know what to expect, but my conclusion was that it tasted awful, provided little energy, and actually got me drunk. Now, I rarely partake energy drinks as often as I used to, all because of the preliminary form of this beverage. But since the recall, I can assume that the judgement here is justified well and good enough.
There was never any alcohol in these. Can could be confused with Four Loko though.
