Can Text:
A handsome Loius Vuitton-colored can with a comb toothed design on the front. The can has a tasteful tan, dark tan, gold, mocha and white color scheme. The rim reads, "Caffeine, Guarana, Ginseng, B-Vitamins, Taurine". The front reads, "Rockstar Roasted Coffee and Energy" along with a big gold rockstar "star", the front can text continues, "Light Vanilla 50% less fat and 50% fewer calories than Original Rockstar Roasted". In an interesting orientation, the Rockstar motivational paragraph is written where most cans put the children and pregos warning. It reads, "ROCKSTAR ROASTED is an amazing mix of the finest espresso coffee and reduced fat milk packed with the powerful energy blend of Original Rockstar. Enhanced with the potent herbal blend of Guarana, Ginkgo, Ginseng, and Milk Thistle, ROASTED is scientifically formulated to provide an incredible energy boost for those who lead active and exhausting lifestyles-from athletes to rock stars.

Angie's Review: Reviews posted after May 2007 are written by a guest reviewer referred to from this point forward as "The Stig".
When I was called in to write some reviews, I was thinking, "Yay! Free Bawls, On Go, and Jolt". What do I get? A sugar free fake diet Mountain Dew, a caffeinated Gatorade, and diet Rockstar coffee. If Dub doesn't make it back for the next review, Jason may have me drinking caffeinated toilet water on the next review.
Well, though the other drinks weren't that bad, I didn't find this very tasty at all. The specs are fantastic, and kudos to Rockstar for packing a man-sized ration of caffeine in Rockstar Roasted, but this tastes like bad poker cup machine coffee. It's ultra thin, and tastes a little watered down. Now, keep this in perspective, because it still tastes like coffee, and I don't think there's a world of difference between a cup of Waffle House coffee and Jamaican Blue Mountain, particularly if you're used to just brewing coffee at home in a daily brewer Mr. Coffee machine. After years of frequenting a coffee shop where people drink deplorable flavors like "Swiss Apple Crumb Cake", I know I can't speak for anyone else's coffee taste. If you'll drink that flavored coffee tainted brown water, I'd have to believe you'd drink mud, if I called it "Christmas Blend" and put almond whipped topping on it. So, you may like Rockstar Roasted, but I'd say the flavor is on par with a complimentary cup-a-joe from a oil change station waiting area.
As I stated above, the energy blend is impressive. 240mg of caffeine per can, lots of B-vitamins, and some Guarana. Because I didn't enjoy this drink, it took me a while to drink it, so I was not profoundly affected in an energenistic way.
$2.39, about $1.34 more than 3 - 6oz. cups of coffee that have poker cards printed on them. You tell me which is a better value.

4Jason's Review:
I disagree with the can, I had little interest in Rockstar Roasted while it was "super chilled", but as soon as it warmed up to room temperature, I was all over it like hot on Rachel McAdams. Normally, energy drinks do have a tendency to get thick as they warm, and in this case, that's good. I prefer some cream in my coffee, and when this is cold, it seems too thin, like skim milk (which I also don't enjoy...2% FTW). Anyway, it's certainly not a robust flavor, and if you want a dark roast, run like Michael Phelps from Rockstar Roasted Light.
I got a lot done after finishing this drink, including poisoning black widows in my garage and front porch. Do you have black widows? Maybe you need Rockstar Roasted Light and some dangerous highly toxic (but bio-degradable and earth friendly) poison concentrate. Genuinely, I've been feeling lazy overall for the past couple of weeks, so saying that I rolled my corpulence out of bed, or pried it out of my butt-imprinted recliner speaks volumes for this drink's affectiveness.
This is a little expensive for my taste, but seems to be in line with the other products (Starbucks doubleshot, Java Monster, and Full Throttle). At the same price, I would still choose Java Monster Lo-Ball, but this is a tasteful alternative if they are out, or don't carry Lo-Ball in your area.

The Rockstar Vanilla Light is really good in taste, better for my diet, and gives me a boost of energy like no other. I like the taste and the energy seems like a bonus. I buy this in bulk here in Alaska so that I can keep it on hand.

This is one coffee drink that rocks! Have tried the competitors but Rockstar Vanilla is the best. Has lasting energy.

I've been drinking Rockstar Roasted Light Vanilla for about a year and LOVE it. Unfortunately it's getting harder and harder to find in Northern KY/Cincinnati area. First the Kroger near me quit carrying it necessitating a long trip to a Meijer, the only other place where I could get it in my area. Now it's chronically out of stock at Meijer though they still have a labeled space for it. That leaves buying them singly from a convenience store, they always seem to be in stock there. Is RockStar rationing this stuff??

Rockstar Roasted Vanilla is my favorite energy drink.
I like it for the following reasons:
-Low in fat
-Low calories
-Non-carbonated
-Low(er) sugar (I had RNY Gastric Bypass and can't have too much sugar)
-GREAT taste
I've tried the canned Starbucks energy drink and it sucked in comparison to the Rockstar Vanilla. The Starbucks was WAY too sweet and very very bland.

I love this drink! I admit that I am hooked. Gotta have one at 3:30 every day. They can be hard to find, and I've actually ordered a case from Rockstar's website before ($48 for 24 cans, includes shipping). I haven't found another low-sugar coffee energy drink that even compares. Monster Lo-ball is nasty.

Love Rockstar Roasted, though it is hard to find in Kentucky.

I absolutely love Rockstar Roasted and order a case from my grocery store every month! They were out of stock for the last 3 weeks which was annoying, because its more expensive at the convenience stores. I love the taste and its low in calories.

I love Rockstar Roasted coffee. 100 calories for the whole can, it's really good for those people watching their calorie intake who likes the sweeter coffee drinks. It has replaced my daily trip to the espresso stand and it's a little cheaper too. I wish more stores sold it, because it can be a little harder to find where I live.

Drank a Rockstar Coffee @ 9:45pm. It's 4am now and I'm so wired I feel like I 'm having a Flashback. WTF!?
Pamela on 2009-01-11 12:19:35 said:
Well, I like the fact that it is a cold coffee drink which has less calories, not many - or any - of those around. And it's pretty good, so I hope it stays around!
