Guru Energy Drink
Guru is an organic brand; which means overpriced, bad tasting, things. Still, though, some of their products hold closer to what an energy drink is that other organic products.

Iced Tea Green Tea Honey-Lemon
Size: 16oz can
Location Acquired: Big Lots, Vestal, NY
Location in Collection: The Cube
Taste Rating: 3/10
Energy Rating: 2/10
Review:
I don't like tea, but I never said it tasted bad. This, however, does. I didn't detect any honey, or lemon; it was a dark, scary experience to drink this foul brew. Energy isn't really anything, it's a 16oz can of tea.

Juice Tangerine
Size: 16oz can
Location Acquired: Big Lots, Vestal, NY
Location in Collection: The Cube
Taste Rating: 7/10
Energy Rating: 2/10
Review:
This is basically orange juice without pulp; it's pretty tasty, but still has that dark organic aftertaste. Energy isn't really anything.

Lite
Size: 8.4oz can
Location Acquired: Little Leaf Health Foods, Montrose, PA
Contributor: Cathy Knapp
Location in Collection: The Army
Taste Rating: 3/10
Energy Rating: 2/10
Review:
Any "natural" energy drink isn't going to be very energizing. This is the sugar free version of Guru original; it's sweetened with Stevia (the new trendy alternative sweetener among organic crap). The flavor is just a generic sweet flavor; unidentifiable. The sugarfreeness is a little disconcerting, and the energy isn't much.

Original
Size: 8.4oz can
Location Acquired: Sisu, Warnock Commons, Penn State University Park, State College, PA
Location in Collection: The Roomies
Taste Rating: 6/10
Energy Rating: 2/10
Review:
Again, natural=nonenergizing. But the flavor is quite unique; sweet is all I can really say to describe it. It's certainly not objectionable. Energy isn't much.

Sport Lemon-Lime
Size: 16oz can
Location Acquired: Big Lots, Vestal, NY
Location in Collection: The Cube
Taste Rating: 7/10
Energy Rating: 3/10
Review:
This is Guru's interesting attempt at a sport drink-style energy drink. It's uncarbonated, and the flavor is a very refreshing lemon-lime, also free of that dark, frightening organic aftertaste. Energy isn't much, okish to eh.

Other Items
My collection also contains the Iced Tea and Tangerine in 16oz cans, as well as Original in a 12oz can.
