Does the beer-flavored energy drink live up to the buzz?

I love energy drinks. And I love beer. (Like, in a cool dad way. You know, IPAs and such.) But do I want an energy drink that tastes like a beer?

That’s the quandary posed by C4 All Hopped Up.

This energy drink is “inspired by the crisp taste of light beer with a splash of orange, without the alcohol or hangover,” C4 says of All Hopped Up. “Crafted for the drinkers, dabblers and those riding the sober curious wave, C4’s beer-inspired energy drink keeps the good times going all season long. Energy is replacing the buzz!”

If the promise of that “light beer” taste wasn’t enough to possibly spook me, C4 All Hopped Up clocks in at a whopping 200 mg of caffeine per 16 oz. can. That’s twice the caffeine you get in a can of Liquid Death Sparkling Energy.

The cost

You can buy a 6-pack of C4 All Hopped Up on Amazon for $14.99.

The thoughts

When I cracked open my can of C4 All Hopped Up, I fully expected to be hit with the malty smell you would get from a light beer. That’s what you get when you open a few cans of Genny Light, right?
