Penthouse Energy Drink Review - Wild Berry
I want to start off by apologizing to all the loyal followers of this site... I know it has been awhile since I reviewed any Energy Drinks. However, it's a new year so I promise to plug away and review as many as I can (while still getting SOME sleep). Anyways, the first review of 2010 will be the Penthouse Energy Drink (Wild Berry). The 12 ounce Penthouse Energy Drinks also come in lemon lime, citrus punch and sugar free, all of which I will review at some point in time. Penthouse is toting these new drinks as both for the active athlete (hence the low calorie count) and as mixers (just plan old penthouse style...). I have to say, that I am a little excited... I mean aroused... I mean I can't wait to give it a try. Enough fluff let's check this new drink out.


Penthouse Energy Drink Review - Wild Berry Taste
First off I would like to say that the can is actually very stylish. At first I was a little disappointed that there was no nudity on the can, but then I realized I don't think Penthouse is going for a novelty energy drink. Instead the cool artwork leads to a more sophisticated looking can. Anyways back to the taste review. As the 12 ounce carbonated can says, it has a distinct wild berry taste. However, unlike berry energy drinks of old that had syrupy bitter tastes, Penthouse Wild Berry was far from it. You could almost say Penthouse was pure (as in taste). The carbonation was not overwhelming, although I don't know if I would consume before a workout... but as a mixer this would be great. And all of this with only 75 calories for the entire 12 ounce can. Taste Rating - 8.7

Penthouse Energy Drink Review - Wild Berry Kick
Pure Wild Berry taste, but will Penthouse deliver the "rise" I am looking for. Well at 150 milligrams of caffeine, 1125 milligrams of taurine, a plethora of b-vitamins and 25 milligrams of Xian Cao (Ginseng) I got the energy I was looking for. It was not over the top or even close to over the top for that matter, but I don't think that is what Penthouse Clear is going for. The energy ingredients pretty much put this drink in the middle of the pack, which is more than enough to provide sustained energy for most of the population. And with only 18 grams of sugar (compared to 75 + in normal energy drinks), the crash effect was pretty much non-existent... as the can says... clearly stimulating! Kick Rating - 8.5

Penthouse Energy Drink Review - Wild Berry Final Judgment
I have to say that when I first heard of this energy drink, I figured that it would be just another novelty product.... But nothing is farther from the truth. With a sophisticated design, great taste and a kick that is clearly stimulating, Penthouse Clear is the real deal. I don't know where they are available yet, but on their website it states that you can purchase them online. If anyone knows feel free to chime in below in the comments section. Final Judgment - 8.6
