Redline Xtreme shot Triple Berry
So all the time I get asked to make a top ten list. I get emails constantly asking what is the best shot or drink. I have tried so many though that it is hard to really pick one or two out. I think that problem has been solved. Redline products are always one of the best but this one promises to be even better.
Packaging: Ok so right off this bottle is different and yet it is the same. It is different than most shot bottles but it is an exact miniature(3 oz) of the full size Redline drink bottle. It is a clear plastic bottle with a red wrapper. The wrapper has the clear gauge on the side where you can measure out how much you want to drink. Overall a really nice quality job. It even clearly list the caffeine content. Grade A-
Slogan: “REDLINE Xtreme Energy 3oz shot will “amp” you to the max within minutes, ready to tear apart the weights and wear out the treadmill like an animal.” Ok I know it is a little long but it is good. Not as good as the original Redline slogan from back in the day but still good. Grade B
Taste: Ok so I open the lid and underneath is a secondary seal for extra freshness. I tear this off and I am greeted with a totally clear liquid. The scent is of mixed berries and I can even pick out several types of berries. Considering all the ingredients in here it does not smell medicinal at all. Taking a sip I get a hint of blackberry and raspberry mostly. It is pretty sweet but the berry flavor is very bold and you really can taste the berries. There is no bitterness or aftertaste as long as it is chilled. If it as at room temp there is a hint but less than most weak shots. Heck minutes later the berry flavor lingers quite pleasantly. Grade A-
Kick/Ingredients: Ok so I tried this at the gym, I tried it on a 12 hr shift where I was on my feet the entire time, I tried it around the house when work needed to be done, I even tried it on a marathon video game session. Each time this shot delivered unlike anything I have ever tried. Sure it was massively intense but only slightly jittery. Then again it was so much more. I go so far as to call it surreal. It’s like an out of body experience. Like you’re looking down on yourself hammering out rep after rep or pounding out mile after mile. You are in the zone. I’d say this last at least 5 hours with really no crash to speak of. Ingredients in this 3 oz shot is powered by 300 mg of caffeine, Beta-Alanine, Yohimbine, Tyrosine, L- Phenylalanine, DL-Phenylalanine. Top that with some B vitamins, and an electrolyte matrix of Magnesium, sodium, potassium, and calcium and you got one beast of a shot. You get all this with 0 calories, carbs, or sugars. It is sweetened with sucralose. Grade A++ Yes I said 300 mg of caffeine.
Web Presence: The sit at vpxsports.com is a damn nice site. It is jam packed with drink info, a store, Redline models, Resources, VPX radio, and more. Really there is a ton of stuff there. I really think the resources section is great and useful if you work out at all. The Models are hot, and the rest is just icing on the cake. You could spend hours there because there is that much content. They also have Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube. Grade A+
Recap:
Ok so now you have your answer. As of this review on 09/12/2011 this is the best energy shot or drink I have ever had. It is really insane and you should be careful and use the measuring bar on the side to gage how much you can handle. I guess now I won’t have to think much when I get those emails asking what is the best. Really how can you beat the entire package Redline offers up? Taste, kick, packaging, web presence. Redline goes all out in every category. Try it and let me know what you think.
