Gorilla Mind has just rolled out their All New Rainbow Sherbert flavor of the Gorilla Mind Energy Drink. If you're not familiar with the drink it's Derek of More Plates More Dates Youtube Channel's supplement brand and it differs from your standard energy drink in that it contains 2,000mg of nootropics including 1,000mg Tyrosine, 400mg Alpha-GPC, and 100mg L-Theanine along with the 200mg of caffeine. Where as most energy drinks of the past would drop in trivial amounts of ingredients to claim they had "Super Creatine" or "Carnitine", Gorilla Mind actually contains some solid nootropics at efficient dosages.
Well the New Rainbow Sherbert flavor is going to be joining a line-up of great flavors including Black Cherry Vanilla, Bombsicle, Arctic White and Orange Ice Cream just to name a few. But what does it taste like? Did they nail the sherbert flavor including the creaminess that sherbert has or does it fall flat like some other energy drinks which have tried more difficult flavors like Root Beer Float for example? We'll tell you all about it.
Gorilla Mind Rainbow Sherbert Energy Drink Review
So I got my hands on a can of Gorilla Mind Rainbow Sherbert and I have to say I was pretty impressed. I'll be referencing some other energy drinks as examples to try to get across my point here. So first, if you've never had Rainbow Sherbert or sherbert in general it's kind of a mix between sourbet ie a non-dairy fruit type ice cream with some dairy. The challenge with energy drinks that have a creaminess component is that it's hard to nail that creamy factor without the creamy texture and in a carbonated drink. Some drinks in the past that attempted to do this was the Bang Birthday Cake Blast and the Bang Key Lime Pie, both which were okay but failed to nail that creamy factor. More recently RYSE put out a Root Beer Float flavored energy drink and while many people were fans, personally to me it was just a bad tasting rootbeer that lacked the ice cream component.
Gorilla Mind Rainbow Sherbert nailed the mix of fruitiness with a hint of cream, now obviously that mouthfeel isn't going to be the same as with an actual sherbert but they really got across the sherbert taste of the fruits as well as that dairy creaminess sherbert has.
Another concern with these multi flavored flavors is oftentimes one single flavor comes across more strongly than the others. As an example if you've ever tried a Bomb Pop or Bomsicle style flavor one flavor always comes across stronger than the others, in the case of Bomb Pop typically the blue flavor or in fruity cereal flavors they often come across tasting citrussy instead of like a bowl of fruity cereal.
While there aren't a ton of Sherbert flavored energy drinks or supplements on the market, what often happens is the lime winds up overtaking all other flavors, Gorilla Mind Sherbert did a good job of not only making sure all the flavors came through pretty equally but that the flavors tasted more like actual fruit as opposed to some chemical likeness of fruit.
With flavors like this what can often wind up happening is you wind up getting a sweet fruity flavor, maybe something like a handful of Skittles or Gummy Bears style flavor but it completely misses the mark in terms of getting across that sherbert flavor including the creaminess we discussed above. Well I have to say Gorilla Mind hit the mark with Rainbow Sherbert, they really did the flavor justice.
Where to Buy Gorilla Mind Orange Sherbert Energy Drink
While the new Rainbow Sherbert flavor has been added to the Gorilla Mind website it's currently listed as sold out and hasn't been yet relased. This one should be available on the Gorilla Mind website in the coming days and we wouldn't be surprised to see it hitting the shelves of a retailer like GNC or Vitamin Shoppe sometime next week.
