G33K B33R Review

There isn't that much to say about G33K B33K. After all, it is just root beer. But maybe that's what is the big deal about it. It's probably the only energy drink that tastes nothing like your typical energy drink.


Taste
My bro once told me about the many different kinds of root beer. I never knew there was a difference having only started drinking root beer about a couple years ago. Anyway, he said there is your bitey rootbeer and your creamy rootbeer. For a comparison, Barq's has more of a bite to it, while A&W is creamy and smooth. I'll leave my root beer ramblings to people like this guy. G33K B33K is somewhere in the middle. It closer to A&W, but still has somewhat of a bite. There is a also somewhat of a licorice\birch beer\Amish root beer\Bawls flavor to it. Similarly to Bawls, its taste is difficult to describe. You just have to try it yourself, ; ). I should also mention that G33K B33R goes down the easiest because of its slightly smoother flavor.

Presentation
I know, I know... "Presentation" It's like I'm trying to be some baddass beverage reviewer who likes to slurp loudly to get a good taste. Well, simply put, G33K B33R looks as good as it tastes: damn good. It's a 10 oz brown glass with the infamous gripping bumps. If you have a problem with the packaging, you must be really screwed up. Because of my odd obsession with things in glass bottles, it gets a high rating in my book. The brown bottle makes it a tad less refreshing, but they don't have much options being it root beer.

Energy
As far as I know, G33K B33R has the same amount of caffeine (Guarana) as the equivalent Bawls bottle: 64 mg. Caffeine reacts with everyone differently (and some not at all) so "results may vary." For me, it kept me going strong until about 3 AM. I could have probably stayed up a bit longer, but had no need to. I felt the "energy boost" after about 3-4 sips I would say. This is all pretty general though.

Bottom Line
I definitely like Bawls: G33K B33R. However, if root beer is not your thang, neither will this be. It's a potent energy drink that doesn't taste like your typical Monster or Red Bull. I highly recommend it to root beer lovers, caffeine whores, or anyone who just feels the needs to "bounce with bawls."

G15... sorry just had to say it. Great review. It was well thought out. You Kind of lost it at the end but that was your personal biased review instead of general taste so informality is acceptable.

well. First let me say, with a name like g33k b33r I am reluctant to buy. Based on your review of taste, however, I am swayed. Thing is, can this compare to Stewart's? Probably not. Although I still will try a bottle.
