      Baller's Tastes Buds Get Rocked - Alpha Rage Log

      First off I have been off pre-workouts for a little while now in preparation for this testing. I am very honored to be selected as an Alpha tester for this product. I was an Alpha Tester for the original Agent Orange, then the reformulated Orange, Slaughtermelon, and Apple Jacked, and now the 3 new flavors. I also use Rage as my go to pre because I can't get enough of the focus factor and ramp up of energy. Some of my best lifts have been after slamming Rage. Currently I am a big fan of Slaughtermelon. I got my package late Wednesday 7/10 so here we go...

      Questions:

      - Rank each flavor on a scale of 1 - 10, 10 being best and 1 being worst.

      - Do you like the flavor better, same, or worse than existing.

      - Would you use this product pre-workout? Yes, no, maybe?

      - Is this flavor too sweet, just right, or not sweet enough?

      - Any other comments?

      Alpha Rage Prototype A

      Rank each flavor on a scale of 1 - 10, 10 being best and 1 being worst.

      8. I was pleasantly surprised on this one. When I saw the type of flavor because it has been done so many times in this industry and there have been some bad ones.

      Do you like the flavor better, same, or worse than existing.

      It is no Slaughtermelon, but I am partial to Watermelon flavored supplements but it would be #2 Rage go to

      Would you use this product pre-workout? Yes, no, maybe?

      Absolutely

      Is this flavor too sweet, just right, or not sweet enough?

      Perfect as far as sweetness. I was afraid when I took the first sip that it would be too sweet but nope. Very smooth and easy to drink.

      Any other comments?

      I did the swirl method instead of shaking it. For whatever reason I have found that the swirl brings out the flavor of Rage better than shaking it up.

      Do you also let it sit, after swirling, to allow the Rage to breathe a little? I've heard this really softens and mellows out the flavor profile of the product.

      Ha, just messing. Great review!

      Alpha Rage Prototype B

      Rank each flavor on a scale of 1 - 10, 10 being best and 1 being worst.

      5. This isn't one of my favorite flavors of most things but I went in with an open mind and it was all right to me. Nothing special like A or C.

      Do you like the flavor better, same, or worse than existing.

      It is better than Orange, but not as good as the other 2.

      Would you use this product pre-workout? Yes, no, maybe?

      Yes but not first choice

      Is this flavor too sweet, just right, or not sweet enough?

      It was a little too sweet for me. It started off smoother but finished a little too sweet in my opinion.

      Any other comments?

      I know some people will dig this flavor but it just didn't hit home for me.

      Alpha Rage Prototype C

      Rank each flavor on a scale of 1 - 10, 10 being best and 1 being worst.

      10. This was amazing and if I wouldn't die I would drink it as a regular drink.

      Do you like the flavor better, same, or worse than existing.

      This rivals Slaughtermelon for #1 Rage flavor

      Would you use this product pre-workout? Yes, no, maybe?

      No doubt it my mind...YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

      Is this flavor too sweet, just right, or not sweet enough?

      Perfect. Was really hoping it wasn't too sweet knowing the type of flavor before I tried it and you guys knocked it out of the park.

      Any other comments?

      You absolutely have to move this to production. If you don't I expect you to ship me all the left over from the alpha batch.
