Spike Shooter - Quila Lime Energy Drink Review
So it has really been quite some time since I have had the opportunity to review a hardcore energy drink and it has been even longer since I reviewed a product from Spike Energy Drink. But, I have had several requests to review the 8.4 ounce QuilaLime Flavor, so I figured I might as well pick a couple up. If you have never had a Spike Shooter before, then make sure you read ALL ingredients and pay close attention the the very LARGE label on the top of the can... The warning is there for a reason as Spike Shooter is not for your everyday Red Bull drinkers...they are for serious caffeine junkies, and I may or may not fall into that category. And when these shooters first came out, there was quite a bit of Hoopla and Buzz (pardon the pun) around them. Anyways, enough fluff and onto the review of the QuilaLime Flavor.

Spike Shooter - Quila Lime Energy Drink Review: Taste
As I was in the reviewe of the original, I was a little apprehensive about the taste of this one as well. I mean, if you cram all that energy goodness into the can, the taste can't be that great... or can it? Well, just as I was with the original fruit punch flavor, I was quite pleased with the newer QuilaLime. Although the flavor did seem a bit syrupy, the strong lime flavor was pretty solid... I definitely didn't make a bitter beer face or cringe like I would after a shot of cheap tequilla. So, its your basic lime flavored with a small hint of medicinal aftertaste energy drink packed full of a Quila supply of energy. I prefer the original, but have not problem settling for one of these. Taste Rating - 8.5

Spike Shooter - Quila Lime Energy Drink Review: Kick
There was far less hoopla with the release of the QuilaLime flavor then when the original came out... Maybe because the media is more concerned with the hot alcohol and energy drinks story.. Nonetheless, with 300 milligrams of caffeine stuffed into a tiny 8.4 ounce can, Spike Shooter is one of the strongest energy drinks on the planet. So get to the point already... I know. How was the kick? As I did in the original review, I decided to drink the whole can... And the kick was pretty intense, even for a seasoned energy drink junkie. I got a fairly quick huge boost of energy that lasted several hours. Best part is, it's sugar free, meaning that I had no crash after consuming. But I have tried well over 400 energy drinks so again I recommend that you follow the directions and pay attention to the warnings on the can before you consume Spike. Specifically don't drink this if you are under 16, pregnant or have allergic reactions to caffeine. There are more warnings on the can so just read them before consuming. They also recommend that you start off by trying a half a can to determine tolerance and do not have more than one can a day. If you use this before or during a workout like I did make sure you drink a lot of water to keep hydrated. Drinking one can of this is equivalent to drinking almost 4 Red Bulls at once. Kick Rating - 10

Spike Shooter - Quila Lime Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
Super strong kick in a small can with a fairly strong yet decent lime taste. Even after 400 reviews, Spike is not the strongest energy drink I have tried, but it is VERY high up on the list. Top it off with the fact that the price is also equivalent to a Red Bull ($2.00) and we have a winner! Stay tuned for the review of the Orange Gold flavor! Final Judgment - 9.3
