Pit Bull Sugar Free

Here is a company I have heard very little about.  I really like the name of the company.  Pit Bull makes me think of one of the tougher dogs that is usually guarding a junk yard etc.  So is this going to be one of the big dogs in the energy world, let's find out.

The Look:  This one comes in an 8.4 oz can(same as a Red Bull).   On the front we get a chain linked background with a picture of a pit bull on the front.  Underneath we get the slogan, "Attitude in a can!".  I think this goes very well with the company name.  On the back there is a short description of the drink as well as nutritional information.

Taste:  The only indication I had about the flavor was the short description on the can.  It states, "a lightly carbonated beverage with a great lemon/line ginger ale taste".  So I open up the can and take a sip.  I was very pleasantly surprised here with the flavor.  I have tried so many Red Bull knock-offs I had originally feared this might be one(before reading the back).  I was greeted with a very crisp lemon/lime flavor.  It reminded me of a tamed down Sprite with less carbonation.  I could of easily chugged this little can down but I wanted to enjoy it.  There is no taste of any nasty chemicals or bad sugarfree aftertaste.  Well done Pitbull!

Kick:  So they have a nice package and a great taste, how well does it perform.   From the back of the can I see they have 80 mg of caffeine along with many vitamins.  I drank this first thing in the morning upon arriving at work(about 8am).  I rely on whatever I drink in the morning to wake me up so I will not be drowsy at work.  After consuming the can I got a very nice lift, nothing crazy here.  I would say it is about the same kick as a standard sized Redbull (I think Pit Bull stomps them on flavor though).  The drink kept me going until about lunch time (10:30, 11:00ish).

Final Thoughts:  I think Pitbull has a good product here.  They have about the same kick as your standard 8 oz drink with an above average flavor.  I noticed from their website they have a bunch of other flavors (I will review them as I try them all).   You can find all the information you want to about them at : http://www.hiphopbev.com/.  If you want an alternative to your everyday Redbull flavored knockoff this is a great choice.  I would drink this again without hesitation.
