Introduction

Hello fellow Soda Sippers! Today I'm reviewing Summit Low Calorie Gridlock, also known as the Summit Gridlock Low Calorie. I purchased this can at an Aldi in the United States. A quick note on methodology, as with most reviews, I reviewed this drink at ~34°F or ~1° C.

Let's see how it is!

Appearance

The can features a blue plus (+) on a larger black plus that is outlined in blue. From behind the plus, there are rays of blue, white, and black originating from the center of the plus. The can has a black background that peaks towards the top with "Summit" under the peak. Above the peak and around the top of the can, it is light blue. The drink itself is a deep amber.

Characteristics

Aroma: The drink has a weak and balanced smell of taurine, ginseng, and sweetness. It smells similar to a generic energy drink with some sweetness.

Taste: The first sip delivers a sweet and generic energy drink flavor. Subsequent sips tone down on the sweetness, leaving a balanced flavor. The drink leaves an light aftertaste of ginseng and sweetness.

Mouthfeel: The drink is lightly carbonated with a slightly thick texture.

Analysis

Strengths: The drink is very well balanced, with flavors harmonizing to create the taste.

Weaknesses: The drink's only flavor is generic energy drink. It has no unique flavors.

Rating

4/5- Good Soda: Recommended for most people and highly recommended for fans of the brand, flavor, or concept. This soda has only minor issues in flavor, aroma, and characteristics.

Review: The drink balances the core flavors of an energy drink and sweetness. It is a perfectly generic energy drink that captures the essence of an energy drink. The flavors exist in harmony, and it has no flaws in its limited flavor.
