Let it Roll
Hydrive E endurance Energy drink
I have been waiting for the weather to heat up so I could write a proper review for this Hydrive. Well the time has come. It is damn hot here in Texas right now and the humidity is out the roof here on the Gulf Coast. I have some work to do outside and I will need to keep hydrated and energized to get through it. Hydrive E is the drink that I think will work just right.
Packaging: Hydrive E comes in their nice slim clear plastic 15.5 oz bottle. The bottle has a black plastic resealable lid. On top of the lid it reads “4 My Drive”. On the front of the bottle is “Hydrive” in a black font over a green and yellow sunburst graphic. There is a big “E” that is a yellow fading into green font. Towards the bottom is a black stripe around the bottle. In the Black stripe it reads “Endurance Energy Drink” in a white font and “low Sugar – 30 Calories” in a green font. There is also an “E” in the background. At the top is the flavor “Lemon Lime” and “6 vital electrolytes” On the back are supplement facts as well as some key hydrating ingredients highlighted in the black stripe area. I will give them a solid B for this container. It looks very nice and kind of high end, communicates a lot about the drink in the wording, and Fits in the hand well. This is a well designed bottle.
Slogans: On the lid you have “4 My drive”. I like these little slogans on the lids of Hydrive drinks. This one is not as good as some of the others but still I like it. “Better Energy” is also one of Hydrive’s slogans. I will give them a grade of B for slogan. They are pretty good and the company puts in some effort in this effort.
Taste ect: The Flavor is Lemon Lime and you can see it is a medium light green liquid through the clear bottle. I have to tell you up front that lemon lime Gatorade is my least favorite electrolyte drink. I always find it to be to acidic and sweet. I am a bit worried before trying this Lemon Lime Hydrive. I open the top and there is a nice lime scent. I have been outside a while and I have really worked up a sweat in this high humidity. I am thirsty so I start chugging this baby down. The flavor is not the overpowering lemon lime I feared but is a light lemon lime. There is no carbonation and the sweetness is just right. I finished this bottle in record time. I liked how its low sugar content makes it so thirst quenching. No artificial taste at all since it uses Sucrose to sweeten. I wish I had another as this is one of the best lemon lime drinks I have tried so far. Grade B+ for flavor
Kick/Ingredients: Hydrive E quenched my thirst and replenished my energy right away. I was able to power through the work I had to do with renewed energy. After several hours I was done with energy to spare. Hydrive E has 145 mg of Caffeine, Taurine, L-Carnitine, L-Arginine, B vitamins, and Sucrose, for its energy components. Its electrolyte components are Sodium 140 mg, Potassium 50 mg, Magnesium, Phosphate, Chloride, and Calcium. There are only 30 calories per bottle and 6 grams of carbs. The main ingredient is spring water! I give this drink a grade of B+ for kick/ingredients. It really is a B for kick but the + comes from the awesome line up of electrolytes. They did a top notch job making this an electrolyte energy hybrid. Unlike Amp which had only 1 electrolyte in there Relaunch (supposed to be their rehydrating drink) Hydrive went all out.
Web presence: Hydrive has a really top notch website at hydriveenergy.com. The site is fun and bright. It is well laid out and provides all the info you need like drink information, a Faq, Where to buy, Store, Events, videos and photos, and a nice about us section. The site is up to date and really is a well maintained website. I give them a grade of B for web presence. Good job!
Recap:
This was just a great product. This is not some lame attempt to add electrolytes to an energy drink. This is the ultimate combining of energy and electrolytes. Across the board this is my go to drink for rehydrating and energizing all in a cool package. I highly suggest you ditch your lame ass Amp Relaunch and or your toothless Gatorade and step up to the next level. Try Hydrive E lemon Lime. Summers here and you know you need to stay hydrated.
