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.

Quila Lime smells like a margarita mix, just like the name suggests. Based on the original flavor's bright red appearance, I expected the lime spike to be bright radioactive green. It's actually a more mellow light green-yellow, similar to Rose's lime juice. The carbonation is at a good level, and it's as sweet as the old spike. I actually prefer this new flavor over the fruit punch.

It tastes just like regular lime soda. I don't mean lemon-lime like sprite, I mean like Jarritos Limon flavor. Once again there's no bad aftertaste characteristic of most energy drinks. Even though it's called 'Quila Lime, I don't recommend mixing it with Tequila. While it might taste good (okay, I admit, it does), it's a recipe for disaster if you drink a lot because of the opposing effects of both drinks. You think vodka and redbull is bad for you? Think about how spike shooter is at least 4 times stronger than red bull.

Overall, 'Quila Lime is a good addition to Spike Shooter's product line. It tastes as good, if not better than the original fruit punch and still has the same hardcore energy kick.

The Spike Shooter original flavor is bright red and lightly carbonated. It smells like a melted cherry popsicle. The taste is like a very sweet cherry flavored soda, and is very drinkable. It doesn't have any of the nasty flavors that many other energy drinks have.

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.

You definitely will feel the energy too. On the first sip I can feel it in my jaw as the chemicals get absorbed. By the third sip it's already pumping energy throughout my body.  I've got some intense focus as I'm writing this, as is to be expected with energy drinks, but I didn't expect it to happen this fast. Continuing to drink the can, the effects continue, but remain relatively constant.

You get almost as much benefit from having a few sips as you do from drinking the whole can. If you drink it fast enough you will probably feel your heart start to beat faster, and may feel a little jittery. There's a reason they say not to ever exceed one can daily. I'm a pretty tall guy, but if you're a smaller person or under 18 I definitely don't recommend drinking a whole can. It will seriously affect you, and will probably not be a good experience.

It's best to drink Spike a few sips at a time. For general energy, keep an open can in the fridge and one or two sips in the morning will take the place of coffee. It sure beats a grande latte, and has no calories, carbs, or sugar. If you're trying to stay awake, drink the can slowly over a few hours and you will have no problem staying up for a long time. Drinking it all at once will not have as good of effects.

Spike Shooter is definitely the most extreme energy drink I have ever tried, and I'm surprised to say it actually tastes good. Drink with caution though.
