Rockstar continues to stick to its standard logo and can format but changes the colors again for the brand new Zero Carb addition to Rockstar's lineup. This is available in 16oz or the jumbo sized 24oz tall can.

Active Ingredients *Per can, not per serving:
Zero Carb Rockstar comes with all the standard energy providing ingredients. The only difference is the amount of it! One 16oz can totes 240mg of caffeine, which means the 24oz can has 360mg of caffeine.

Angie's Review: Reviews posted after May 2007 are written by a guest reviewer referred to from this point forward as "The Stig".
Firstly, thank goodness that someone has finally pushed the envelope to higher caffeine content. With so many energy drinks flooding the market it was only a matter of time until someone had to step above the rest. Zero Carb Rockstar is awesome. It has a wonderful light raspberry/ blueberry flavor with a very slight sweetener taste. Once you get about half way into the drink and realize exactly how much energy is contained in this can you will be blown away. It is fabulously refreshing to be that energized and still have more soda to drink! Now this may lead you to believe that just stuffing lots of caffeine in a drink makes is successful, but that is not true. Keep in mind Chaser 5 Hour Energy Rockstar has found a perfect balance of unique taste and energy blend.

I have always been a huge fan of Diet Rockstar, but Zero Carb is so far beyond better than the previous Rockstar lines. Its almost a shame to put other drinks in the same category as this.

Jason's Review:
Rockstar Zero Carb will rock your face. End of story. 120mg of caffeine per serving. This is the strongest non-brewed caffeine beverage I've had since Chaser 5 Hour Energy. I’m 180 lbs. and per the Death by Caffeine website, it would only take 34.13 24oz. cans of this stuff to kill me, meanwhile it would take 223.36 12oz. Mountain Dews. If you do that math that's 3.27 times the caffeine in Mountain Dew. That's the number of times that human excrement is better than Vamp NRG

I'll be upfront, I don't love the taste, but it's a cargo load better than the taste of energy shots, which are about the only non-tea, non-coffee that I'd put in this class of energy drinks. It's described as a wild berry, I'd say it's more akin to a carbonated pink grapefruit juice. It was certainly drinkable, and with zero carbs, I'm scoring it a couple of more points.

At a $1.99, this really makes Rockstar Energy Drink, and Diet Rockstar (of which, I gave both rave reviews) look juvenile in every respect but taste, and there's not a vast chasm separating them there.

As of the time of the writing of this review, this may be the best overall single energy drink on the market.

Rockstar Zero Carb gives an impressive energy boost, but it has way too much of an artificial sweetener taste.

This drink is a bit pricey, compared to the 99 cent rip it nearby, but overall an okay drink. It has a lot of caffeine, is low calorie and carb, and has an ok taste, a blueberry flavor that tastes slightly diet. Didn't give me much energy but it did to my friend
