Taste
Ever tried pomelo, or perhaps a white peach? No matter the answer, GFUEL Naruto Sage Mode tastes like both, so either you’ll love it, or you’ll get to experience them both for the first time with one sip with this one! Now, I had no real memory of ever eating a pomelo, nor a “white” peach.
So with that said – I didn’t know what to expect. A pomelo is a citrus fruit, which is the foretaste you’ll feel when first taking a sip. It’s quite bitter and sour, with a slight sweet hint. The aftertaste, however, is where the white peach comes in, which brings a tender sweetness to the whole flavor. This combination was a real mastermove by GFUEL, which left a lasting impression on me after tasting it.
Experience
Now, you know about the design, the flavor… But what about the overall experience? The energy kick, the focus, all that jazz. Well, GFUEL Naruto Sage Mode wouldn’t be complete without GFUEL’s very own energy and focus complex, which in my opinion hits pretty hard. If we’re only counting the caffeine, that’s already 140 mgs! That’s more than most canned energy drinks on the market. So yeah, you’ll definitely feel rejuvenated after a serving. That is if you aren’t incredibly used to caffeine at this point already (like me), then maybe not.
And yes, this flavor, like all the other GFUEL flavors, was also a bit chalky. Most of the times I can’t really finish the last sip due to the chalk, but with this one it was somehow manageable. I’ve heard that cold water might help a bit. Sadly for me, the tap at our office can’t produce real cold water, so half-cold water was all I had. Otherwise, the drink was easy to make, and gives you a good boost that’ll last you for a short while, at the very least!
Summary
Do you love GFUEL? Do you love Naruto? Do you love bittersweet flavors? If you said yes to ANY of these questions (preferably all 3), then this flavor is the right pick for you. It’s design is unique and pays homage to one of the biggest manga/anime characters in the world, and the flavor is perfectly balanced between bitter and sweet.
And if you are a serious GFUEL hater, we urge you to at least try this one – you won’t regret it! You can find it in our shop. I hope you enjoyed my GFUEL Naruto Sage Mode review! Make sure to check out some of our other flavor or brand reviews as well.
Take care!
