Review of Polish Rockstar Xdurance

Rockstar in Poland appeared 2,5 years ago. Firstly at our market came “classic” version and Punched Guava, completely unannounced. Slowly but surely this brand from across the ocean not only gained new supporters, but also modify its offer. Finally, we can find now on Polish stores exactly 6 different cans of 250 ml and two 0,5 l ones: "classic" and Xdurace. Today, we will talk about a second mentioned above.

We bought Xdurance at Kaufland after a sensational promotional price – 2,49 PLN (around 0,60 Euro). However, you can easily get it in almost every hypermarkets with the prices usually slightly exceeding 4, PLN (almost 1 EURO) (cheapest in Carrefour - at least when the last time we were there - 3.99 PLN, the most expensive it was in Tesco).

Can design very quickly catches the eye and can really be enjoyed. A clear five-pointed star, characteristic for Rockstar makes it impossible to confuse with any other drink.

And what’s interesting in the ingredients? In comparison to the "average" Polish energy drinks we can find here a lot of news. First of all Xdurance contains not used in the most of our energy drinks Guarana, which very simply acts like caffeine - stimulating and energizing, helping to keep longer attention and concentration. However this does not mean that the caffeine in the drink is not included - so it is: the standard 32mg/100ml. This combination gives more "energy" and more efficient operation. We are also dealing with rarely seen in energy drinks vitamin E, ascorbic acid, green tea extract, black carrot juice and electrolytes. It is worth to mention that the amount of taurine per liter is suddenly 200mg - a dose up to 20 times smaller than accepted.

The taste of the drink by the inscription on the can is a combination of blueberry, pomegranate and acai berries. And indeed it is. The most intensely feel gives probably blueberry. The taste of the drink from the beginning seems to be sweet, but the tartness of pomegranate makes that the drink is not bland, "slowing down" and drinking 500 ml is not a big problem. Moreover, gas evaporates very quickly, which is not surprising in the case of energy drinks (by the way at the bottom of the can there is an inscription stated "lightly carbonated" ). Stimulation  is quite solid.

In our opinion, Rockstar Xdurance is certainly one of the most exciting and also tastiest energy drinks, which appeared on the Polish market in the past few years. Assessing it on a scale of 0-10 we are giving him a strong 9 (very close to 10), because it’s really hard to find a more distinctive in plus energy drink. Indisputably it reaches Top 5 among energy drinks in Poland!
