Product Review: Rockstar Iced Peach Tea

Black and Gold Can really catches the eye.

Store Location: Island Fresh, Chalan Pago
Price: $2.49
Rating: 2 plates out of 5

I was looking for my usual energy drink at a store that I don't usually shop at, when this caught my eye.  I'm a fan of Rockstars and iced tea.  So naturally I thought this was going to be my new favorite. When I opened the can, the smell of peach was instant. The first sip was the only good one. It is non-carbonated, unlike the regular Rockstars, but it still somehow managed to have the same burn effect on my tongue and throat. There was also an unpleasant after taste from the peach flavor that got worse and worse with every sip. It contains a few B vitamins and about 240 mg caffeine, and coming in at only 20 calories for the whole can, is a big plus. I felt a noticeable energy boost about 20 minutes after I drank it and lasted about 3 hours with no crash. Overall, I would rate this as a 2 out of 5, just because of the good energy kick that it gave me and how good the can looked and caught my eye. Unfortunately from what I've read online, this line of Rockstar has already been canceled. So get it now while you still can.
