I don't drink canned energy drinks and prefer coffee in the morning, but I bought this for an elk hunt and am very happy with it. Waking up at 4 am to head out in the woods did not leave any time to sit around camp and drink a couple of cups of coffee. I mixed the MTN OPS in with my hydro flask to keep from crashing mid morning. It tasted good and would give me a boost without making me feel like my heart was coming out of my chest. Definitely better and a little healthier than canned energy drinks. I will by it again and use it for hiking and mountain biking.
