We were quite excited when Rockstar Punched arrived on our desks recently. We have enjoyed Rockstar's products in the past and were curious if Rockstar could keep their streak going. The simple answer is a strong yes.

The package does not stray from the Rockstar formula which in our opinion works. The star logo and trademark company name are featured prominently. We liked the fact that energy + punch was clearly spelled out indicating what made this drink different from other available energy drinks. No guessing here.

The taste of Rockstar Punched can best be described as wow. A pleasing sweet tropical punch flavor is the main experience to hit your palate. We did not taste any bitter or medicine aftertaste which added to our enjoyment of this drink. Although this beverage is carbonated, the effervescence is light.

We found the energy bump to be in line with the other Rockstar beverages...not overwhelming and not wimpy.

Our only drawback would be on the calorie count. Rockstar Punched contains 260 calories per
16 oz. This is not a big deal if you are young and active, but may be a concern for those sitting behind a desk and watching their waistlines.
