Rage Affliction

Today I am lucky enough to get my hands on another Canadian energy drink.     I will be tackling Rage Affliction for my review today.  A big thanks to Thirstmonger.com for allowing me to try out the Rage lineup.



The Look:  There is a bunch of stuff going on all over the can.  On the front the have a giant R that dominates a good portion of the can.  Underneath that we get the brand name Rage, the flavor Affliction and the phrase Ultimate Energy.  Up at the top the have a list around the edge of some of the ingredients inside.  Turning it around there is usage warnings and then ingredient list in English and French.  Very busy can with a lot going on but I think it ties together fairly well.  Very edgy look that grabs attention.

Taste:  Rage Affliction taste like a fruit punch with a heavy dose of cherry added to it.  The flavor is really very tasty.  The only downfall the drink has is there is a weird type of aftertaste to it.  The aftertaste is not very noticeable and quickly disappears but it is there.  There is a good amount of carbonation to the drink that compliments the flavor quite nicely.

Does It Work:  I have no idea how many calories or how many grams of sugar are inside (it is not listed).  They do however list the energy ingredients: 2000 mg of taurine, 160 mg of caffeine, 400 mg of ginseng, creatine, a good amount of B vitamins,  and a handful of other ingredients.  After drinking this down in the early hours I became wide awake.  The combination of stuff they used inside makes for a very nice energy boost.  I got a good 4 hours of energy out of this can with no crash.

Overall Thoughts:  So after my first sampling of Rage energy drinks I am fairly impressed.  They have a nice hardcore design on the can, the taste is pretty good, and the kick is above average.  If this variety is any indication then I am going to greatly enjoy the other varieties of Rage I have for review.  You can buy these by the case from my good friend at Thirstmonger.com for a very good price.  The company also has a website that you can check out at Rageliquidenergy.com.  Look for the review of the other flavors of Rage coming very soon.
I would also like to give credit to What I drink at work for the picture (I could not for the life of me find an image anywhere).
