Fuel is pumping engines Burnin' hard, loose and clean

Ok so I had a shot aimed at gamers before but it was more geared toward Warcraft. No I have my hands on an energy shot aimed more at gamers who play more action packed games like Halo, Team Fortress, Call of duty, Gears of War 2, or even Rockband 2. I mean how cool are you going to look breaking out your Mana potion bottle while playing a marathon game with your friends? You can’t bust out with a 5 hour energy either because that is like something your mom might drink. So X Fuel gives you the best option.

Packaging: So you start out with a fat 2 oz plastic bottle. The bottle is wrapped in a black label with some green tinted lighting all over it. Right in the middle is a big green X with the word “Fuel” in the middle of it in a cool silver video game type font. The X has a pattern in it like the surface of the moon. Love the job on that logo. On the lid it reads “Xtreme energy shot” and at the bottom is the slogan. Back has the usual nutrition facts. I think they did a great job on this package. It has a cool aggressive look to it that will fit in well with the target market. Grade B for packaging

Slogan: Right on the front of the bottle you have “Take it to the next level”. This is a good slogan for any drink or shot. The fact that it fits so well with the video game theme just makes it that much better. B+ for slogan

Taste: So there is no clue on the bottle as to the flavor. I hope it is a flavor I like. I twist off the lid and pour it into a shot glass. The liquid inside is a pale orange color. The scent is sweet with no vitamin smell. Downing the shot I get a nice sweet apple/berry taste with pretty much no bitterness or aftertaste. It is a unique flavor and hard to really pin down exactly and I think everyone will have a different opinion on what it taste like. It is actually pretty good for a shot. I think they did a good job masking any of the energy ingredients without overdoing the sweetness or the tartness. Grade B for taste

Kick/Ingredients: I tried X fuel several times in different settings and each time it performed well. I used it while playing various games on my PS3 and my Xbox 360 and I really felt it helped my reflexes go up a bit. I hit more notes in Rock band 2 and in the FPS games I played I was quicker and deadlier than usual. One of the good tings is that is not over the top so if you are sniping you will not be jittery and miss that head shot. I found that in around 15 minutes of drinking the shot I got a nice mid level boost that was not jittery and lasted me a good 4 hours with no crash. X Fuel is powered by Caffeine, Taurine, Glucuronolactone, Tyrosine, L- Phenylalanine, Malic acid, a huge dose of B vitamins, and 166% dv of Vitamin C. Amounts of Caffeine and Taurine are not listed but I expect they are the usual amounts. There are no calories or carbs Grade B for kick.

Web Presence: For a small company they have a pretty nice website at xfuel4gamers.com that is in the process of being updated. It has a really cool flash intro that works well with the gamer theme of the shot. There is an about section, ingredients info, a store, and a bit more. Soon there will be gamer forums and more so make sure you check it out. Grade B for web presence.

Recap:

  • Packaging B
  • Slogan B+
  • Taste B
  • Kick/Ingredients B
  • Web Presence B

Ok so I am not going to tell you this is the strongest most awesome shot out there. It is above average. It is at least equal to 90% of the shots out there and that includes the market leaders. It does come in a nicer bottle with a big mouth that makes it easier to slam. It does taste better than most shots out there. It does look a hell of a lot cooler if you are young person to be drinking this shot and not your moms 5 hour energy. To top it all off if you are a gamer you are supporting one of yours and not some corporation. Really I had like 5 bottles of this and considering I have like 20 other types of shots lying around here I reached for this one first(until it was gone). No matter if you are a gamer are not I think you should give this shot a try. I hope these guys make it big and I can find this shot everywhere soon. It could become one of my go to shots for everyday use.

Xfuel Approved By The National Guard - See for yourself

We were at the car show in NYC and ran into the National Guard. They were awesome we appreciate their service and commitment to our country. That being said they have a very physically demanding job and they are big drinkers of Energy Shots. So I grabbed a bottle of Xfuel and wanted to see what they thought about our New Extreme Energy Shot. Wow, to no surprise he says "It tastes great" and the other brand is sour and an acquired taste. Xfuel tastes great and does not need an acquired taste. Try it for yourself.

Xfuel launches Friday April 3rd with rave reviews

Xfuel has officially launched and is now available to any players who want to bring their game to the Next Level. People were sampling Xfuel throughout the Meadowlands area.


Xfuel has officially launched and is now available to any players who want to bring their game to the Next Level. People were sampling Xfuel throughout the Meadowlands area, as Xfuel was on hand at the Major League Gaming (MLG) opener to show their support to Team Foxy, who will be sporting the Xfuel colors for 2009. Team Foxy, a highly ranked group of female gamers attended the opener at the New Jersey Meadowlands, representing and promoting the presence of women in the gaming industry.

Company co-founder Alex Gere was quoted Friday evening as saying, “People were saying this stuff tastes great, this is strong stuff, it’s rockin and allot of other adjectives I can’t repeat here.” Many sources confirmed that Xfuel was a tremendous hit with the gaming crowd and the number one response from people that were polled was, “tastes better the other shots we normally buy”. Many gamers were skeptical of how Xfuel performed against other energy shots as its taste is not what you would normally associate with energy shots. Howie Panes stated, “We wanted to find out how people felt and 2 hours after distributing some shots, we began to ask people what they thought, we had a 100% positive response that people were feeling the effects of the energy and that there was little if any after taste”.

Team Foxy was established in 2008 by Nicole Cullop (XBL gamer tag LethalxPrincess) and has become known as the top female team in the gaming industry (Gears of War2, Halo 3, and Call of Duty). Their presence and gaming ability was felt at this MLG event and just the shear number of members was enough to raise a few eyebrows. Team Foxy's goal is to bring exposure to girl gamers and break down stereotypes in a predominantly male video gaming industry. The girls are confident that with the addition of Xfuel to their portfolio, they are one step closer in their quest to dominate the gaming world.

Energy Drink Ratings Explained

Xfuel Energy Shot Review:
So there have been Energy Drinks that have focused on gamers in the past; however, I have yet to hear of an energy shot that is made specifically for gamers. That is until the Xfuel energy shot entered the market. Xfuel energy shots is the creation of Alex and Austin Gere along with their friend Nick Panes and is made by AboutMe Labs. With a name like Xfuel and a slogan like "Take it to the Next Level" this shot is designed specifically for gamers. Now I am definitely not a hard core gamer, but I have no problem putting the Xfuel energy shot to a taste and kick test. So let's move on with the review...



Xfuel Energy Shot Review: Taste
The little 2 ounce energy shot has only 4 calories and comes in a nicely designed package, albeit was a little hard to open. But once I got it open the flavor was excellent, especially for an energy shot. The delivery was smooth and there was no medicinal aftertaste. My only problem with the Xfuel energy shot is that I could not pinpoint the taste!!! I thought I tasted hints of apple, yet it almost seemed to be followed by grape. Regardless of my inadequacies in pinpointing the taste I thoroughly enjoyed it. So my taste review is probably not a big help, but if you have tried it feel free to chime in below in the comments section with your take on the taste. Taste Rating - 8.8

Xfuel Energy Shot Review: Kick
So I am not a hardcore gamer, but since Xfuel is supposed to help take you to the next level, I thought I would put it to use at the gym. Waking up nice and early at 5:30... after a happy hour that lasted a little too long... I hoped that Xfuel would provide me with the get up and go that I was looking for at the gym. With Energy Ingredients like L-Taurine, Caffeine (about the amount in a premium cup of coffee - so around 80-120 milligrams I am guessing), Glucorono, Lactone, N Acetyl L Tyrosine,, L-Phenylanine, Malic Cid as well as a bunch of B-Vitamins, the kick was well received. No the strongest drink I have ever tried, but then again, the last thing you want is to be all jittery when jamming out to Guitar Hero. Kick Rating - 8.5

Xfuel Energy Shot Review: Final Judgment
A well rounded shot delivering an excellent flavor and above average kick. Xfuel targets a unique market (strictly gamers) that has really not been fully capitalized on yet (at least to my knowledge). And with substantial prizes being awarded for top gamers these days, having that extra edge to "take you to the next level" can be nothing but beneficial in my opinion. Final Judgment - 8.6
