Under the leaves of that old Lime Tree
Redline Xtreme Lime
Ok so Redline is one of my favorite drink companies. They make extreme drinks and shots. Not only are their product super potent but they have a genius of flavoring tucked away somewhere. They make some great tasting stuff. I mean for sugar free non carbonated drinks that are packed with ingredients they manage to somehow make them tasty. Then there is the fact that regular Redline is a super strong drink but this one is Xreme which means more good stuff. Let’s check out this new flavor.
Packaging: Comes in an 8 oz clear plastic bottle. The bottle has a resealable lid and on the top of the lid is a warning telling you to read the label before drinking and saying it contains 2 servings. The bottle is wrapped in a red label with a circle of sliced limes around the neck. One new thing for this bottle is the “Drink Regulation gauge” which is a clear part of the label so you can measure out 1 serving. Nice touch there. The fonts are nice and while a bit busy(provides a lot of info) the label looks pretty sharp. Grade B+
Slogan: Hmm. New slogan here. “Razor Sharp Reaction” is on the bottle and it is a good one. It refers to the fact that a study has shown Redline Xtreme to increase reaction time by 7.5%. Great job of putting this key information into a slogan. Grade A-
Taste: So I twist of the lid and I get a scent of limes. Not lime drink or lemon lime. This stuff smells like a real lime! There is no energy or vitamin smell present. Pouring some in a cup it is totally clear like water and is non carbonated. I take a sip and I am blown away. This drink really taste like it smells. It tastes like a pure real sweetened lime juice. I mean the aftertaste even reminds me of that of a real lime. It does not taste sugar free at all. Like I have said before the flavoring guys at Redline are genius. This stuff is flat out delicious. Grade A
Kick/Ingredients: Ok so I made a mistake. The weather was bad all week and I was stuck inside. I had gotten some bottles of this drink and really wanted to try it. So I went ahead and drank it at work. So in ten minutes I was jacked like crazy. I was tingly, jittery, and really grinning like Jack Nicholson in the shinning. I only drank half at first then 30 minutes later finished the rest. I had a hard time sitting still and was wishing I could just go out side and run like I was freakin Forrest Gump, punch someone in the face as hard as Brock Lessnar , or try to break the record for the most pushups in a minute. Let me tell you this is the epitome of Xtreme energy condensed into a drink. My energy lasted a solid 5 hours with no crash. So what the hell is in this stuff? Per bottle you have 316 mg Caffeine, Beta-Alanine , Beta-Phenylethylamine , Evodiamine, 5-Hydroxy-L-Tryptophan (5-HTP), N-methyl Tyramine ,5-Hydroxy-L-Tryptophan (5-HTP),Vinpocetine ,Yohimbine, Yerba mate, Tyrosine, and green tea extract. There is also an electrolyte blend of Calcium, Magnesium, and potassium. This comes with no calories or carbs. It is sweetened with Sucralose. Grade A+ for kick/ingredients
Web Presence: redlinerush.com is a pretty nice site. I found all of the information on products and ingredients, Testimonials, Videos, A FAQ, and a where to buy section. This is not just a site for Redline but is also a site for other VPX products. It’s a cool looking flash based site that will appeal to the consumer who would be buying Redline and other VPX products. They have a Facebook as well Grade B+ for web presence.
Recap:
Ok so if you want to feel real extreme energy this is your drink. Start with ½ bottle though and be smart. This is not child’s play here. This is serious hardcore energy. I don’t anyone anywhere who makes a more potent drink. This one is probably the top of my list of the best energy drinks. As if freaking insane do stuff energy were not enough this stuff taste great as well. Redline really has delivered one of the best energy drinks know to man. If you have enough balls and you are old enough seek this out. I truly believe the claims they make as to energy and reaction. I mean if you drank this and then had a slap fight with someone you would totally destroy them(Don’t know why but I kept thinking slap fight after I had drank this lol).
