CAFFEINE CONTENT: 160 MILLIGRAMS PER 16 OUNCE CAN.
RATING: 9 OUT OF 10!
This is the 5th flavor of AMP that I have tried and I have to say they all tasted pretty good. AMP Lightning is 1 of 3 new flavors from AMP Energy. The other two are AMP Rebuild and AMP Defend which feature AMP Energy mixed with black or green tea. If you look on the front of the bright yellow can, you will notice it states that the flavor is lemonade. AMP certainly didn't lie as I got a nice, lightly carbonated, refreshing artificial lemonade flavor. This was actually quite good and it had no sour or bitterness and the lemonade flavor wasn't too strong. Well, AMP Lightning has a nice little plethora of energy ingredients like 296 milligrams of taurine, 200 milligrams of L-carnitine, 160 milligrams of caffeine, 248 milligrams of gaurana seed extract, and 34 milligrams of panax ginseng extract. Not a bad blend but certainly better than the original AMP. No B vitamins to share with this one, unfortunately. So, for 160 milligrams of caffeine the kick was pretty good. It lasted around 4 to 5 hours and I had plenty of energy to go and have a couple Cokes. The energy level itself in somewhat medium. You are not going to be running marathons and lifting 500 pound weights by drinking AMP Lightning. Nonetheless, it still gets a 9. *The photograph above was taken by a reviewer for the Canned Reviews blog. I take absolutely no credit for it whatsoever.
