AI Review Summary
The product's taste was frequently described as refreshing, fruity, clean, and balanced, with many finding it pleasant. A significant number of consumers appreciated the gentle, long-lasting energy boost it provided, often noting the absence of a crash or jitters typically associated with other energy drinks. Perceptions of sweetness varied; many reviewers found it not overly sweet or well-balanced, while a minority considered it too sweet. Feedback regarding flavour intensity was mixed, with some finding the blackcurrant taste too weak or watered down, while others described it as just right or bold. The level of carbonation was generally well-received, though a few comments suggested a desire for more fizz. The drink was often positioned as a lighter alternative to traditional energy beverages or other V products. However, some customers did not experience a noticeable energy effect or found the slow-release claim unclear. Many reviewers expressed an intention to repurchase or recommended the product, though a smaller group indicated they would not buy it again. Additionally, comments noted the can size, with some preferring a smaller option, and concerns were raised regarding its price, with some willing to purchase only when on sale.
Not their best product. Though not gross
Not much more to say. It's not a drink I'd choose when given the choice. If offered one I wouldn't say no either. It would be a good mixer I guess.
Plain
Was really hoping this would be delicious kinda like a ribena packed flavour however it tastes like a watered down soft drink. The other bummer is that it really doesn't give you slow releasing energy.
A good pick me up
I love that its made with real fruit juice and fiber and the slow release energy means i can get through my day without that awful afternoon crash. The blackcurrant flavour is natural and refreshing and not too sweet like other brands. I have found it to be an amazing alternative to coffee as a pick me up.
Let down.
I was really hoping that it would be a sucker punch flavour, but it was a let down. It reminds me of school camp watered down cordial and someone accidentally poured a splash of sparking water in it. Flat and flavour lacking.
V rise sparkling blackcurrant energy
It was an okay product, had a little bit of a weird aftertaste which could be due to the sweeteners and the apple cider vinegar… overall I believe there are better energy drinks while they might not be slow-release energy I just wouldn’t purchase this again
V RiiSE didnt raise to the expectations
We tried these new V drinks as they claim to have slow and steady engery release over time. We didnt like these flavours but they do have good caffine so they work. I guess they can improve on those new flavours.
Average flavour
Blackcurrant flavour was not my favourite choice mild flavour and over bubbly would now try a second time. Will stick to the standard green or sugar free green
Drinkable but wouldnt purchase
This flavour was ok, but its not something I would purchase again. If it was given to me I would drink it but I would never look for it to buy for myself
Ok but not great
I like the idea of this but the flavour just isn’t hitting right. The size of can is good and graphics catch my eye. The flavour just isn’t flavouring right for me
