I found Pony Malta in the back of a liquor store in Guayaquil, Ecuador. It comes in a little bottle for only 15 cents. It claims to be a natural and refreshing energy drink, but I still didn’t feel any increase in energy after 5 minutes, and still not much after drinking the entire bottle.
It’s a malt beverage like kvass, so it tastes similar but a bit better and is also slightly carbonated. The flavor also reminds me of tamarind. For a more familiar flavor, it also tastes a bit like prune juice. It’s dark and not very fruity though.
Overall as an energy drink I wouldn’t rate it very high. I’m not sure about the caffeine content of Pony Malta, but if you’re just looking for something to wake you up I would say go with coffee. This particular brand of Malta comes from Colombia.
Spike Shooter’s got a new flavor, and it’s called ‘Quila Lime. This version is ever as potent as the original spike shooter. For the full review of spike’s intense effects, read the
Spike shooter is the ultimate energy drink. Second-to-none, this hardcore energy drink comes with plenty of warnings. The original flavor is not listed on the can, but it’s some sort of fruit punch.
The real thing that makes spike energy drink unusual is it’s potency. It has 25,000% of the recommended daily value of vitamin B-12, and that’s not a typo. Spike Shooter ingredients contain an absorbable form of B-12 called methylcobalamin, which is said to reduce stress, increase healthy cell growth, but most importantly boost your energy. Caffeine is the third ingredient in the drink after water and citric acid. The 250mL can is said to have the same amount of caffeine as the largest starbucks coffee. In addition to both of these, the Spike Shooter formula has it’s own secret recipe of mystery energy boosters.
