It is also just the tart part of orange I taste really. Peach and like orange work, but this isn’t a peach and orange drink. While this peach flavor is developing, I still get a citrus bite which is kind of…odd. I will say, however, the earthy note is a bit stronger than your average peach so maybe that’s where the nectarine flavor comes into play. I can taste that subtle sweetness of a peach as well as the earthy note. It develops way more in the final part where I can say, for sure, that it is peach flavored.
Just as it transitions into the final part of the flavor, I start to get a hint of fruit. The sweetness at this point is more sugar sweet rather than fruity sweet. This stinging sensation carries over to the middle part of the flavor too, but this time the sweetness starts to kick in which mutes the cool water feeling. I get a bite of whatever citrus acid they use and a cool drink of water.
For you, Rad Blog, I will.Īt first sip I don’t really get much of anything. From the lack of color to the very artificial scent, I just don’t want to drink this. While it does have no color, it isn’t clear. It isn’t even bubbly like Sprite too so maybe I’d think it was just cloudy water. If I didn’t pour this myself, I might think it was Sprite. I mean, I guess it isn’t since I didn’t see any dyes in the ingredients. Why doesn’t Monster or other energy drink manufacturers do this then?Īt any rate, let’s open this and pour it into a cup. They also shortened hydrochloride to just HCL. It’s also interesting to note that they just say “Vitamin B12” in their ingredients list instead of cyanocobalamin. Thank you, Red bull for making your font not meld into your can’s primary color. They focus on their taurine and caffeine for energy.Ĭarbonated water, sucrose, glucose, citric acid, taurine, sodium citrate, natural and artifical flavors, glycerol ester of wood rosin, sucrose acetate isobutyrate, caffeine, niacinamide, pyridoxine hydrochloride, calcium pantothenate, Vitamin B12. Let’s get to the nutrition facts and ingredients.ġ60 calories. That just further pushes my expectations of this being weak in the flavor department. It is the same old testimonial, but I did notice it said “artificially flavored” next to the “Peach-Nectarine” text. If there is, it will most likely be apple or white grape.Īnything else noteworthy on this can? Nah. There’s probably not much juice for flavoring in this if any at all. I don’t really know how they’ll approach a peach flavor, but judging by the added nectarine flavor to the name, I’m guessing this is going to be sort of weak. Red Bull’s been up and down with flavors. I suppose that’s nothing compared to a fresh one, but still. I used to really like eating canned peaches as a kid too. It is almost like an apple in that way, but peaches are more sweet than earthy. Peaches should have a sweet flavor as well as a hint of an earthy note.
A lot of the time, these peach flavored drinks only sort of taste like peach which is probably why they avoid it. Peach is a sort of secondary flavor to a lot of companies in my experience. I guess they figured they weren’t using that color any more so they just gave it to this new flavor. The can sort of reminds me of that grapefruit summer edition one actually. The can’s color, however, does seem to reflect the nectarine choice so maybe that’s why they picked it. I find peach to be more of a pink than red. The can itself isn’t what I’d call peach in color either. Honestly, I think this is just gonna be a buzz word to sell more of this flavor. Nectarine is a peach-like fruit so I guess they could get away with putting both together. Why did they feel the need to throw in nectarines in too? This one is called The Peach Edition but really it is a peach and nectarine flavor. Well, it is time to cover yet another Red Bull so I can wake up this morning.
