Upon opening the can, I noticed the strong cranberry aroma, and this is the main flavor of the drink. It also has a very distinct aftertaste, except, the aftertaste hits you right away. This is the one part of the drink I didn't like. The taste was probably because of the white willow bark extract. Overall, the taste is okay, but could be a lot better. Some of you may be grossed out by the taste, and others may like it. I didn't.
I downed my first can of Diablo right after running 7km, and having a hot shower. Of course, this made me feel quite sleepy, but Diablo did not disappoint me this time! I felt quite energetic, despite the physical activity and shower, especially for a caffeine-free beverage. This is a product that boasts all-natural ingredients, and it even says on the can, "It's not cheating, it's making the right choice!"
