Wired (based on our unofficial, unscientific research) provides one of the more expansive and innovative line-up of energy drinks by a beverage company. From 8.4 oz. cans of extreme energy drinks to 16 ozs. of sports isotonics to 24 ozs. of triple caffeine energy drinks, Wired has attempted to satisfy many wide and varied consumer needs. We give them credit for that. Unfortunately, in their desire to satisfy the wishes of energy drink consumers they sometimes miss the all-too-important flavor mark.

Wired Berry energy drink should be renamed "Red Bull with a little grape flavoring" energy drink. Prior to tasting the beverage we discussed our expectations based on what was described on the package. Our minds were filled with ideas of juicy, sweet berries, perhaps some tartness, and a smooth finish. Instead we tasted grape with strong citrus flavors and a slight bitterness we typically associate with a diet energy drink. The bad news is that Wired Berry is not a diet energy drink.

The energy kick left something to be desired as well. We were braced for an energy rush after consuming the 16 ozs., but all we felt was a moderate jump in energy. We are happy to report an energy crash did not follow several hours after drinking Wired Berry. Finally some good news.
