Molotov Explosive Energy is a energy drink that chooses to stand out with catchy name and most of all, crafty flavors. Among pineapple, Norcal Beverage Company has also launched two other flavors tamarind, and mango. Now the drink I tried didn't have any surprise ingredient but Mango and Pineapple are supposed to be mixed with Tapatio hot sauce and lemon. I'm not sure how that would work and glad my sample was vacant of any spice.

The pineapple was very apparent and with 2 ounces of sugar this drink was extremely sweet. This is the first carbonated pineapple flavored beverage I've tried and after a couple sips the taste grew on me very little. After about half the can I was bored of the flavor. This is not a beverage I could drink day in day out.

It has plenty of B vitamins and very small amount of vitamin C. (Unfortunately you should still drink your OJ) The energy blend is a standard 2500 mgs complete with caffeine, taurine, and l-Carnitine. It gets you going for a short period of time, maybe an hour, hour and a half at best. If your looking for a beverage to sustain you for hours you might be better off with something else.

Bottom Line- Molotov Explosive Energy sure is original in its flavor variety, especially if they've mixed fruit flavor with hot sauce. The name and logo on the can try to pull out the revolutionary in you but in the end with little punch, the Energy Super Powers may ultimately win out.
