Amp Traction Energy Drink Review:
Well I have almost completely reviewed all of the Energy Drinks that Amp has just released. I have one more of the new flavors to review after the Amp Traction review. The new flavors include ReLaunch, Elevate and Traction (which I am reviewing today). I am glad to see Amp continue to diversify their product lineup. I know I was pleased with the last Amp Energy Drink that I reviewed, so let's see if the new 16 ounce Traction makes the cut in the taste and kick categories.

Amp Traction Energy Drink Review: Taste
Well first off the new Traction Energy Drink from Amp tells comes in a grape 16 ounce can and says "charge of grape" right on it. So I pretty much knew what I was getting in to today when I gave it my first sip. It did have a nicely carbonated grape flavor, but it was not too sweet. It was actually very similar to the Loud Pomberry Zero that I tried awhile back. The only difference between the two is that Loud used artificial sweetners and Amp used sugar. Overall the grape flavor was pretty tasty. I would of liked a little more of a juice flavor, but hey taste is subjective. Taste Rating - 8.6

Amp Traction Energy Drink Review: Kick
Well the lightly carbonated grape flavor was not too bad, but will Amp gain "Traction" in the kick category? Well there is a laundry list of energy ingredients that includes (for two servings) 296 milligrams of taurine, 248 milligrams of guarana seed extract (natural caffeine), 160 milligrams of caffeine and 34 milligrams of Panax Ginseng Extract. All those ingredients definitely gave me quite a kick in the pants, the only bad thing was that there was a slight crash associated with it (58 grams of sugar). This could be alleviated by using a sugar free version. Even with the slight crash the energy was still bountifull. Kick Rating - 8.7

Amp Traction Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
A good taste and a good kick was provided by Amp Traction. As I stated in the opening paragraph, I am glad they continue to diversify their product lineup. Hopefully in the near future they release these 3 new flavors, Traction, Relaunch and Elevate (which I will review shortly) in sugar free versions as well. Where can you get them? Well you can get them pretty much anywhere. Final Judgment - 8.7
