This is fantastic. I bonked about 10 miles from the finish of a metric century bike ride in July. One of the support team members gave me a bottle of this to drink. I made it to the end in less than an hour. I'm 56 and I am a believer.
this tastes ok at first but it leaves a horrible aftertaste in my mouth that i've had a heck of a time getting rid of. the best way to describe it is that it tastes like most handsoap smells.
i wish vitamin water would offer each formula in more than one flavor. i'd love to have the caffeine and vitamins from "Energy" in a decent flavor (the ones used for Defence or Focuse, for example.) because this one has potential but is pretty gross.
This is the best! I love it because I hate coffee and Red Bulls make me jittery! I went to Haiti a few years ago and this taste just like the fresh juice they made for us every morning!!

I don't think that people understand what's in this drink....
It's caffeine!!!! The Guarana seed contains more than two times the caffeine of a coffee bean.... so as you drink this syrupy sweet concoction, and think to yourself how healthy you are....you may want to consider that a coffee drink might do you just as well (without all the added sugar).
I have tried all of them. This one is simply the best for me. Please don't discontinue it. At 1.59 a bottle.. its a little pricey for me. I drink at least 2 everyday.. no matter how much it costs. I will never get tired of it. Thanks for making such a great beverage. Loving it in Philadelphia :)

A great boost of energy
this drink is fantastic, i've always been known to drink energy drinks after class on the weekend to get ready to go out or even if i'm having an off day. But i didn't liek the affects of drinking energy drinks. so a friend of mine actually bought me the energy tropical citrus because he thought i'd like it. now im hooked. its an everyday drink and i love it. it doesnt get old for me. and its better than drinking cups and cups of coffee. I'm more than satisfied.get up the good work
Energy stands out as the flavor that no matter what you're doing, where you are, or who you're with, it is hands-down refreshing. The tropical citrus lacks nothing in the flavor department, and is a very simple flavor at that. This being the first Vitaminwater I tried, I may be as little bias, but how could you resist a flavor that takes regular citrus and turns it into an enjoyable experience.
This is by far the best flavor of Vitamin Water. What I like most about these beverages is that they do not have to be refrigerated to taste good. They are good all-around drinks for any time of day; breakfast, lunch or dinner. My preferred method of consumption is to drink 1/2 and then top off the bottle with more water. Even watered-down it still tastes good. You can't say that about soda or any of the other crazy drinks on our store shelves today. My only complaint is that I have moved to Switzerland and I can't find the stuff anywhere.
On a side note. The bottles are great for my hobby of collecting sand from various beaches around the world.
love this flavor. it reminded me of a juice I had while I was in Jamaica. I only wish that you would have a diet version of all the flavors. I can't aford all those calories every day.
Is completely right. I was having a hard time staying awake in some of my finals last spring so I got to try a vitamin water as I don't like to drink caffine too much... total life saver.
Swishing it around in my mouth, I sensed the caffeine laying beneath the subtly sweet, somewhat acidic flavor. A smooth finish that quenched my thirst but left a strong, unpleasant aftertaste for a few moments before dying away. The caffeine breaks this product with its almost metallic bitterness at the end.
