Hi Ball arrived at our local chain grocery store in the newly expanded natural and organic beverage aisle. We were not familiar with the brand...even more reason to give the drink a try. We were glad we did.

For no other reason than it was the first one we picked up, we examined the sparkling lemon lime beverage. The package has a retro look and feel from its clear glass bottle to its simple green dot logo. Yes, it does come in a glass bottle, giving it a completely different approach to many of the other energy drinks on the shelf. We liked the fact that the clear bottle stated that it had nothing to hide. The words sugar free, taurine, guarana, ginseng and B-vitamins stood out clearly as well.

The taste was quite unique. The best way we can describe it would be a sparkling, very light lime flavored seltzer water. It not at all what we expected, yet tasty all the same. This drink will not likely appeal to teens and young adults, but more to mature audiences.

The energy we received from the beverage was bigger than we have experienced from energy drinks in larger packages. This is not an energy drink that will deliver the one-two punch many of us have grown to enjoy, but if you are looking for a more upscale energy drink, Hi Ball has you written all over it.
