ANOTHER MUST READ REVIEW:
The problem with this drink is the huge difference on how good one flavor is and how bad another one is.

I purchased the Fruit punch, which comes in a orange and black bottle and was very happy with the way it tasted. I'd give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

I got the "black adder" 1 out of 5, the red and black bottle and it's terrible! this thing was kind of like a whiskey in respect that it had stages in the taste. First it tasted like a terrible flat mixed drink, Second it changed to almost like a very over carbonated pixie stick, the after taste was that of cough medicine.

So I would suggest that you try fruit punch first. I have yet to try grape, but the black mamba is terrible.

Exceedingly sweet and not especially energizing, Venom's Black Mamba flavor tastes a bit like a liquified blowpop (something between watermelon and apple). I'll be sticking with red bull.

cool bottle tasted fine got an ok buzz aftrwards.

The only way this energy drink "strikes back" is in the horrible after taste. Not worth the $2 you pay for it. I have to give them some kudos however, the marketing is great, the bottle design is fantastic. So misleading.

Didn't like the taste and there are other energy drinks that have similar ingredients but have alot better effects. NOT ENOUGH ENERGY.

hmmm....nice to have an energy drink that doesn't sux.

This is a great tasting energy drink .

Ater trying other energy drinks, like Red Bull (which to me tastes like carbonated cough syrup) and Amp, I liked the refreshingly different taste of Venom. The added bonus of a higher amount of caffeine and Vitamin B complex than Red Bull didn't hurt either. Slightly citrus-grapefruit taste with a kick. Not bad, better than most.

It tastes like liquid crap!

The best out of other energy drinks.
