I'm really split on Ghost. On the one hand they make a damn good sour watermelon… on the other hand they also make Faze Pop. It's not very bad, but it doesn't stand out as much as their other offerings. The Ghost generics like Citrus do not stand out either.

There's nothing special about Faze Pop. It's meant to emulate the flavor of those Rocket Pop freeze pops and popsicles and it does this pretty well, for the red part of the popsicle at least. This is at the expense of being a disappointing energy drink. It also misses out on the flavors of the blue and white parts of the popsicle, which if they found a way to do this I'd be impressed; that's an impossible task given that energy drinks are homogenous.

Impressions

An overwhelming cherry flavor immediately hits me, almost tasting as artifically cherry as cherry Robitussin. The drink is not as viscous as Robitussin so luckily the connection is not as strong but still perceptible. After this, ephemeral notes of mango linger on the tongue. It doesn't taste like there is much citric acid in this one but, common among Ghost's drinks, Faze Pop is heavier on this element than most other energy drinks are, and if this is your first Ghost you may be surprised at how acidic it tastes. Just know that there are many Ghost drinks that hold no punches in the “this tastes battery acid” department. Lacks the bite some Ghost flavors do.

Smells like artificial cherry, unsurprisingly.
