And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
Animal Tiger energy drink
I had heard about this drink from a friend and read some reviews. I was super happy to finally get my hands on it. Tiger is the first drink in the Animal energy line up. I hope to get my hands on the Lion and the Zebra drinks as soon as they are available.
Packaging: Starts out with your typical 16 oz aluminum can. The can is a reddish pink with a pale camo background pattern. Circling around the top is a listing of key ingredients in a yellow and red font. Below this is the name Animal energy drink in a black and white aggressive type font. Right in the middle is an actual photo of a real tiger. The tiger looks aggressive and ready to pounce. Vertical to the side is the name “Tiger” in a really large font. The back has Nutrition facts. I give them a grade of B for packaging. I like to fonts used and the tiger really exudes power. This is no cartoon tiger but is a real vicious carnivore. Great job.
Slogan: I really wanted to find a cool slogan but alas I found none. I’ll cut them some slack though since they are new. Feel free to contact me guys if you need help coming up with a cool slogan. Grade NA
Taste: Well the name really does not clue me in on what to expect. I open the can and I get the classic energy drink scent. I pour some in a cup and it is a light caramel color with a light carbonation. I take a few sips and it is your classic RB clone at first but I will say it actually ones ups most of this flavored drinks. I has a nice apple taste mainly with some hits of white grape and berry. The thing that sets it apart from most is that it is very crisp. Really it is not gummy at all and has this light crisp flavor that makes it pretty enjoyable. I give it a grade of B+ for flavor. I can see me adding this to the drinks I buy on a regular basis.
Kick/Ingredients: Ok so would this wild animal pounce on my fatigue like a white tiger on Roy Horn or would it have the all the ferocity of Tony The Tiger? I drank the can pretty quickly. I did not feel anything right away but within 15 minutes I was viciously assaulted with a powerful boost of energy. I think at one point I might have actually been able to take down an antelope at a dead run. I was on the prowl for a good 4 hours with very little jitters and only had a tiny bit of crash. Key ingredients are caffeine, taurine, glucuronolactone, , inositol, Essentra brand ashwagandha, and B Vitamins. You have 220 calories 54 grams of carbs, 52 grams of sugar and is sweetened with sucrose and glucose. Grade B for kick and ingredients
Web Presence: Animal has a nice little site at animalenergydrink.com. The site has a cool flash intro and is flash based. It has a nice visual look and I think it has a good future. That said it is a bit light on the info. There is an about us section, order section, and a coming soon section. That is about it. I will give them a grade of C for web presence. I hope soon they put some more info up as they roll out their full line up of drinks.
Recap:
I was pleasantly surprised by this Animal Tiger energy drink. It taste great in the classic energy drink sense and it really packs an above par kick. Keep your eye out and make sure you grab one when it shows up in your area. Don’t let this tiger pass you buy.
