Inked Energy: Druidic

What is a Druidic and why do I even want it in my mouth? I have no idea. This drink also calls it’s self ‘Euro Citrus’… What is Euro Citrus… I’m about to find out.

Pop the can and what do I smell? Nerds. Yes, Nerds candy. This drink smells exactly like those little sugary lumps of candy. I’m pretty excited at this point.

Despite the can being a prominent green color, the drink it’s self is golden. Reminds me of Red Bull.

After taking my first sip, I start to realize what ‘Euro Citrus’ is: Awesome. Just as it smells, Druidic tastes like candy. It’s tough to find a drink that is this easy to drink, mind you this is not a drink for chugging. The carbonation can get a bit tough at times on the throat, but the drink is defiantly refreshing.

As I drink more and more the taste is getting less appealing. I’m starting to notice a bit of a sourness to it, but it’s nothing terrible. I actually enjoy the sourness.

So far, my expectations have already been passed. Now it’s all up to the energy buzz I get. The back of the can states there is 80mg of caffeine in 475ml. This energy drink is on the low side of caffeine content. A small sized Red Bull can has 80mg of caffeine and it is nerarly half the size.

I am starting to think this drink is more for the flavor than the kick. So far any caffeine effects are minimal. I feel like my hands are moving faster but my brain is not. I think it’s safe to say the buzz effect is minimal.

Inked Druidic is a value energy drink. They are sold exclusively at 7-11 stores for around $2.50 for 2 cans. For that price they are not a bad deal at all. There are a few other flavors to try, I’ll get on those in the coming weeks.

Caffeine: 80mg per 473ml
Taste: 4 out of 5
Buzz: 2 out of 5
Verdict: Not a bad taste and it’s really cheap. It’s worth the 2 pack special at 7-11

p.s. I have decided to put up pictures of how the drink looks in a clear glass every week from now on.
