Why would a company purposefully come out with an energy drink, even an alcoholic one, that tastes so bad? I have drank some bad drinks before, and have even managed to drink my way through Sparks, Tilt, B to the E (Bud Extra), and even Rize. But this stuff is completely undrinkable. and upon pouring the rest of this goo down the sink, I realized the fluid in this comes out anti-freeze green!
The fact that this was so bad to drink is extra extra sad because this package is – bar none – one of the most awesome aluminum cans ever. This drink is covered in tattoo designs – roses and skulls and vines. and ALL of the fonts and text fits the design and works within the layout.
If you are an energy drink can collector, it is worth going to the trouble to get hold of one of these – which might be a difficult challenge – seeing as alcoholic energy drinks seem to be hard to find and are becoming rarer now that the horrible non-profit company, CSPI, is on their profitable witch hunt. You know it will only be a matter of time before Joose is put completely out of business.
OF course, I won’t be buying an more of this – seeing as the drink inside is one of the nastiest drinks I have had. I have tried their Red Joose, Orange Joose, Blue Joose and their super-tasty Dragon Joose. Some of these have been delicious, and some of these have been nasty – but this one is really icky. My sister-in-law said it tasted like a tootsie roll left in a bottle of chlorinated pool water. I thought it tasted like carbonated potpourri mixed with Charlie. And of course it is even MORE alarming when the drink is bright neon green too!
As for the buzz, I am not sure. There is 10 percent alcohol in here – and so the alcohol buzz will Definitely happen if you can stomach all 23.5 ounces. This is some very strong stuff – and you can definitely taste it. No idea as for the caffeination boost, as I could not make it through the can. From the half I did slug down, I could not feel much energy – even with the taurine and ginseng the can listed as ingredients.
My suggestion is to find a can and buy it – but don’t open it. Just enjoy that you are going to have an awesome piece of American art, something that might be worth something on EBAY someday – as long as you don’t try to drink it.
