Hansen’s energy original

Cost: $1.60

Contains: Taurine, Panax Ginseng, Ginkgo Biloba, Caffeine, Guarana, Maltodextrin, B6, B12, B2.

This is not one of my favorite Energy drinks. This rating really isn’t due to the taste. Hansen’s Energy has a nice lemon lime kinda taste, the main problem remains that it doesn’t really provide energy. They advertise having many ingredients that other drinks have, but in reality they must not contain that much. This drink doesn’t pump you up as much as red bull, it doesn’t have the keep awake power that redbull has. It does have a little energy packed into this symbolic tiny can, but it just can’t compare with the jolt that some other drinks cause. I will have to admit that this drink still covers the flavor of alcohol fairly well. It might not be capable of the 50/50 mixes other energy drinks can provide but it doesn’t fall to short when it comes to mixing. The price is something that does beat most competition, but since it doesn’t pack the punch that it should, saving 50 cents really doesn’t make it a worthwhile savings factor. If you want to save on energy drinks buy them in cases, don’t buy crappier ones, a single at a time. I would say you can probably do about 35% vodka with out a significant alcohol flavor.

Hansen's Energy Original is my favorite Energy Drink due to it's great citrus, smooth taste and boost of energy I get from it. I'm bummed CostCo isn't carrying it any more.

I'm not sure if you've ever heard of it, but there's this Japanese drink called "Oronamin C" which definitely smokes any energy drink i've ever had (at least in terms of taste). You should check out a Japanese covenient store in your city. It comes in these tiny brown glass bottles, and the drink literally releases vapor when you open it. If you think Red Bull is good, you gotta get your hands on this drink. In general, Japan has the best soft, engery drinks i've ever drank myself. This says a lot since i've lived in several different countries so far.
Cheers and good luck finding new tasty treats!!!

Hey Dan, stumbled across your reviews and found them very interesting. Have you ever tried Hair of the Dog. I haven't tried as many energy drinks as you but found Hair of the Dog to be by far my favorite. It contains Taurine, Caffeine, Inositol, Schizandra, L-Glutamine, Milk thistle extract, Ginseng extract, Guarana berry extract, B3, B5, B6, B12, as well as 1000 mg Vitamin C and others. It has a light raspberry taste to it and is light blue in color. I really prefer the taste and effects over any other energy/detoxifier i have ever tried. Just thought maybe you'd like to give it a shot. Hope you enjoy.....Jen

Dan, You have quite the review site! I'm an electrician and do some fairly strenuous work. After inhaling lunch, I oft times need a pick-me-up in the afternoon. I also run about 3.5 miles after I get home. I prefer to stay away from caffine, but don't know if that's going to be possible with these energy drinks. What do you suggest? Of course I'd like good taste, but I need the effect more than anything. Just bought and drank a can of Monster Energy. We'll see how I feel in a few minutes. It didn't score very high in the taste department-I'd rate it a 5 or 6 on a 10 point scale. Any suggestions you have would be helpful. You write great reviews, but I just can't warrant the time to sift through all of them. Thanks! Gregg

I have to disagree with Dan's comment. It is by far my favorite energy drink. The taste is a very excellentlemon lime. (I find Red bull tastes like liquid bubble gum) I also have never been disappointed in the pick me up. Not only do I feel more awake about 1/2 hour after I drink it, my mind also seems sharper. (which I don't get from other drinks) I don't drink a lot of caffeinated beverages and perhaps that is why this drink works so well for me. Sometimes it actually works too well if I drink it after 3 pm, I have trouble falling asleep at night.

wow i was drinking it - it's awesome!

Posted by: Oferty Pracy at April 28, 2006 01:48 AM

Sorry, but obviously it's an "individual thing" because Hansen's is the ONLY energy drink that I drink and it TOTALLY works for me. Red Bull taste like drinking rancid perfume and does not work for me nearly as well as what Hansen's does for me. And, like Debbie, I don't drink a lot of coffee or other caffeinated drinks. Perhaps you have to be a coffee hater to drink it ('cause I am)?

So far the energy drinks I have drunk didn't work for me. Hansen was to first to feel a little bit energized but still I find coffee the most effective. I have to admit that Hansen is the best of the energy drinks I've tried.

I am far from pleased by this drink. I don't like lime at all so it is clear why I don't like its taste. And having in mind that it doesn't energize me at all ... I don't see how simply a lower price would make me buy it.

Fire Island? I am sure it is a great place, but being a midwesterner I am not familar with it. I guess I just thought that you would be on some isolated island somewhere in the middle of nowhere. You aren’t in the “middle of nowhere”, are you?
