NOS Charged Lime

Posted in Reviews with tags , , , on 05/09/2012 by Brett

Today’s review is about NOS Charged Lime. The first sip I took didn’t really impress me. But as I kept drinking it, it got better. Couldn’t really taste the lime in the beginning, but was able to eventually. I didn’t mind this one, but I was expecting a lot more flavor out of this one. But just like all other NOS flavors: It packs a punch and keeps you awake. And just like Electric Cherry: No sugar and only 20 calories! So all of you weight and health-conscious people out there, you can enjoy Charged Lime for the low calories, but if you want flavor as well, go with Electric Cherry.

NOS Electric Cherry

Posted in Reviews with tags , , , on 05/07/2012 by Brett

So a little while back, NOS Energy released two new flavors in Canada: Electric Cherry and Charged Lime. Today’s review is about Electric Cherry. There is a version in the US called “Loaded Cherry,” which is a black cherry flavored drink, but loaded, pardon the expression, with high fructose corn syrup. Electric Cherry tastes just like regular cherry, which you can’t really screw up, has no high fructose corn syrup and is only 20 calories. That’s right, only 20 calories! But it still has the patented ass-kicking power NOS always has with 194 mg of caffeine, which should get anyone through the day. NOS always puts out great flavors, but this one is definitely my favorite so far! Keep up the good work, NOS! Next review: NOS Charged Lime.

NOS Loaded Cherry

Posted in Reviews with tags , , on 01/17/2011 by Brett

More and more companies who make energy drinks are releasing cherry flavored beverages, which is great. NOS has finally out with their rendition called “Loaded Cherry.” It does indicate it is cherry flavored with other natural flavors on the can. In fact, it tasted very close to Cherry Coke. Not a bad thing, but that’s what I noticed. I would say it was more so black cherry instead of regular cherry. Only one downside: NOS Loaded Cherry contains high fructose corn syrup, so enjoy sparingly.

NOS Sugar Free

Posted in Reviews with tags , , , on 01/12/2011 by Brett

A long time ago, I reviewed NOS Original and loved it. Great taste, lots of wake-up power. Even just opening the can and getting a sniff (literally) of what you are about to drink was enough of a wake-up call…and great for you folks who need the extra kick on a Monday morning. Well, I tried NOS Sugar Free recently and like its original, it has a citrus flavor that will get your motor running, except for one obvious difference: No sugar. Or better yet: No high fructose corn syrup.

So for those of you who love NOS, but don’t want the excess calories or any HFCS, NOS Sugar Free is for you!

NOS Fruit Punch

Posted in Reviews with tags , , , , on 03/24/2010 by Brett

Hey Gang,

So as promised from yesterday, I tried NOS Fruit Punch. This is another energy drink that has not yet been released in Canada, so I picked it up while in Palm Springs recently. Fruit Punch is another one of those flavors that you can never go wrong with. It’s popular and hard to screw up. NOS absolutely got it right! I actually like this one better than NOS Grape. Their Fruit Punch is a little more bold in flavor compared to their Grape, which I know is shocking, as you expect it to be the other way around. I even like this one better than Full Throttle Fury, which is a tropical punch flavor. And as always, NOS states “Caution: Powerful” right on the can…and with good reason. No matter what flavor, it charges you up and keeps you going. So if you’re in the US, grab a can of NOS Fruit Punch. You won’t be disappointed.

NOS Grape

Posted in Reviews with tags , , , on 03/23/2010 by Brett

So I recently made a trip down to Palm Springs, CA to not only soak up a few rays and collect some well-needed Vitamin D, but see my parents, as they just purchased a condo down there. Oh, and see if I could find any energy drinks that cannot be found in Canada. Day 3: Mission accomplished!

I had reviewed NOS in the past and how great it tasted, as well as gave you a swift kick in the rear with its caffeine content. Well, NOS Grape is no different. The only difference is the fact it is grape and not citrus, like its original brother. Not many energy drink manufacturers have come out with grape-flavored energy drinks, which is too bad, because grape is a great flavor. No one I know has ever been able to get grape wrong. It’s one of those flavors you can’t screw up. But NOS being NOS: I was expecting its grape flavor to be a little more bold, just like its citrus flavor. But other than that, I was not disappointed. Still tasted great and was nice and crisp as well.

Tomorrow: I will review NOS Fruit Punch!
