This thread is for the Shock Therapy new flavor beta testers to place their feedback in. Congrats on getting picked to test out the newest flavor. We're looking forward to your feedback.
OK I gave the new flavor a try tonight. I won't get into the effects because we all know ST kicks ass in that department.
The flavor is really strong. It's super sweet and I thought it tasted great right when it hit my mouth. But there was a distinct aftertaste, sort of medicinal like the grape flavor. And I pretty much felt the same way after each sip. The initial taste is really good, but there is a bitter aftertaste. I'm not too picky though so I don't mind it, just thought I should mention it.
Overall I'd give this flavor about a 7/10. I like it better than grape, and the same or a little less than the fruit punch flavor.
But this was just my first try, and maybe it'll grow on me.
BTW I mixed 1.5 scoops in 16 oz. water.

great now we all know it has something to do with a grapeish flavor... my hopes are dashed
No it has nothing to do with grape. I just meant that I thought grape ST had a medicinal aftertaste, and I think this flavor has the same kind of aftertaste too. But not grapeish. It'll make more sense when you try it.

Looks like I'm still the only one to have it. I'm curious to see what everyone else is going to say.
Tonight was my second time using it, and this time I put 1.5 scoops in 18 oz. water. It was still pretty sweet, but not as sweet as last time (since I used a little more water). It definitely does taste like what it's supposed to though.
Again I noticed the same thing with an aftertaste. Tonight it didn't have that medicine flavor, but the aftertaste was still pretty bitter.
Overall not bad though.
I'll finish it up tomorrow.

I got confirmation from shipping that the samples were sent out on the 4th, last Thursday. Everyone on the east coast should have gotten them by Friday. This week, the rest of the testers will have it in their hands.
Just got mine!! Holiday shipping is making everything go slow. As of now, I can say it smells good. Smells like it would taste good, so I hope it will. Thats my review so far.
Just mix the intended 1 scoop in the recommended amount of water and give us taste feedback bro. 1.5 scoops isnt gonna give the intended taste and it would be hard to base your judgements against the others who are testing ST, all with different powder/water ratios.

If you keep the ratio of ST to water the same, then yeah it will give you the intended taste. 1.5 scoops in 15-18 oz. water will taste the same as 1 scoop in 10-12 oz. water, and that's what I did.
Well somehow I ended up with 4 full scoops so tonight I tried 1 scoop in 8 oz. water (sorry thirdeye I hope you forgive me for messing with the ratios) and I liked it a little better than when I used more water. The flavor was a little stronger, but I thought that the aftertaste wasn't as bad. It was still there, but not as much.
Like I said before overall I think this is good stuff. I'd def buy it every once in a while as a change of pace from the fruit punch flavor.
