XL Energy Drink Review:
Energy Drinks in some form or another have been around for quite some time... and the XL Energy Drink is no different, as it has been around since 2000 (actually quite some time for an ED) which it makes me wonder why I have not gotten around to reviewing it. Maybe because of all the energy shots I have been reviewing lately? Either way, XL offers both a sugar free and regular version (which I will be trying today). XL Energy comes in 2 sizes, a slim 8.4 ounce can and a giant 16.9 ounce can (which is the one I am reviewing). So enough fluff, let's move on to the taste and kick reviews!

XL Energy Drink Review: Taste
Well the taste of the XL Energy Drink will be very familiar to pretty much anyone who has consumed an energy drink as the formula is quite similar to Red Bull with a couple "notable" exceptions. First off, it XL seems to be slightly less carbonated than Red Bull. And second, but probably the most important, XL seems to have filtered out the very noticeable Red Bull medicinal aftertaste that most of us are so familiar with. This results in a smoother easier to drink beverage. Now they have been around since 2000, so I won't knock them for having an un-original taste. Taste Rating - 7.8

XL Energy Drink Review: Kick
So the taste of the XL energy drink seems to be an improvement over Red Bull's formula... but how will the kick fair? Again, this drink has been around since 2000 and back then Red Bull was still one of the strongest energy drinks on the market. Nowadays, that is not the case and it is not the case for XL either. Don't get me wrong, the kick was definitely noticeable and I thoroughly enjoyed it... but for those of us addicts (like me) that are used to tons of caffeine, this just is not going to do the trick. The energy ingredients include; Caffeine, Taurine and a decent amount of B-Vitamins. Nonetheless, the 16.9 ounce XL energy drink provides a better kick than Red Bull. Kick Rating - 8.5

XL Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
A tried and true energy drink that has been around since 2000. It is very similar to Red Bull; albeit with out the medicinal aftertaste and a bigger kick. Having survived in a vastly overcrowded market for so long is an accomplishment in itself. But I think to continue to thrive they are going to have to expand their product offerings. The sugar free addition is nice, but I think a drink with increased caffeine / energy ingredients is due... maybe a XXL? Final Judgment - 8.3
