Ubershot comes in a remarkably attractive matte finish brushed aluminum 58ml (approx. 2 fl.oz.) bottle. The cap is held snuggly in place by a matte red sticker that keeps the lid from loosening during transport and making the cap all gunky. The front of the bottle has a big white double dotted u, which I have no idea what it's called, and I can't put it in the review because it breaks the RSS feed. Also, it's to no advantage as most of our traffic is the the U.S., and since it's not on the keyboard 99% of America doesn't know how to get that character typed in anyway (hint: for windows users it's Alt+0220, and you can look up other sputnik characters in start->accessories->system tools->character map). The text carries on "Ubershot" in black, "Original" in white and "Energy for life with no lows" in smaller white text.
The back continues, "Hours of energy and concentration-sustained high performance and increased alertness. Contains B vitamins and slow-release amino acid. No sugar, no lows, only 5 calories. Non-carbonated liquid energy food supplement with caffeine and sweetener. For maximum energy drink entire bottle. For moderate energy drink half bottle or less and reseal. Do not exceed two bottles a day, consumed several hours apart. This product is not a substitute for a diversified diet. Contains niacin which may cause skin flush (hot feeling, redness) in sensitive individuals. Contains caffeine equivalent to a strong cup of freshly brewed coffee (maybe a strong cup of Turkish coffee, but good luck getting 210mg in a cup of regular freeze-dried commercial coffee here in the states, I'd estimate 150mg/cup on the very high end). Not suitable for children, pregnant women and those sensitive to caffeine (probably not great for nursing women either). Please recycle this bottle.

Angie's Review: Reviews posted after May 2007 are written by a guest reviewer referred to from this point forward as "The Stig".
(LF9M) Ubershot takes me back to the "golden age" of World of Warcraft, back when downing Drakkisath and scoring that sweet Lightforge Breastplate for your healadin was worth "w00ting" about and linking in guild chat, followed by a celebratory dinner at Bennigan's with your only remaining 3 irl friends, who were also in the raid, and also are no longer concerned with bathing, shaving or reproducing.
So, as I look at this unimposing, unpolished 58ml bottle and think of all the UBRs glory lost, I'm almost unable to overcome the memory of my fallen brothers in battle. Then I look at that plate armored liquid, with it's proud funny shaped "U" tabard, and cloth sticky helm (probably because it's got fat intellect stats), and I need to consume its essence. Maybe I can again suit up and heal/off-tank Drak's second dragon buddy while our hunter friend kites Drak far away from us. I rip the cap off and knock back a funny bittery/tangy fruit flavored shot and 210mg of "well fed" caffeine goodness.
Within minutes I can feel the rush of energy as if I'd just gotten to Onyxia Buff. I'm awake and alert, I could wash dishes, vacuum, balance my checkbook or simply scratch my skin compulsively until I'm bleeding. There's plenty of energy to enjoy, and some extra to detract from other people's ability to enjoy anything.
I have no idea where you get Ubershot here in the states, it's available online in 12-packs for 20 quid ($32.60 at the time of this review), which works out to about $2.70/each, or $50/each after shipping. A far cry better than the $15/mo. raping you get from Blizzard (now Activision Blizzard...my worst two stock investments, finally together in one package...P.S. thanks Vivendi for de-listing on the U.S. exchange, and Activision for making the worst, yet overly-hyped launch release games for a console...ever...On a srs note, thanks for Pitfall!, srsly).

If it's possible to imaging a bitter banana, that's what I'd say that Ubershot Energy Shot tastes like. It's got a smooth underlying flavor with just a hint of that head-jerkingly-overt bitter caffeine flavor. Ubershot also doesn't taste as thick, syrupy, and sickeningly over-artificially-sweetened flavor I've come to expect from 5-8 calories, 0 carb, 2 fl. oz. energy shots. Apart from trying to describe the flavor, I'll simply say, I think it tastes pretty good.
Ubershot purports to help with that afternoon/post-lunch slump that many of us experience. They talk about (in their marketing materials) about taking it around 2PM for maximum benefit. My day starts a little later than most people, and that's usually when I eat lunch (or get up, depending on the day). So on an exceptionally taxing day, I took a nap around 3:30, I was really haggard. I hesitantly got up and started moving around about 4PM. Ubershot had its work cut out. I took an Ubershot, with muted expectations. As the bottle described, I experienced comfortably onset and sustained energy boost. It wasn't intense like rolling down the windows in the car on a frigid day as you're dozing off (which happens more often than I care to acknowledge), but more like that cool rejuvenating afternoon breeze our Saviour Jesus Christ sends just when we need it after a long day of moving all of your things, hopes and dreams out of the house that you and your wife bought 8 months ago. It's that little pick-me-up you need to pack away all the Wii she gave you for Christmas a few months ago, hammer the "For Sale" sign into ground and take half of everything you previously owned to the Goodwill because 2100 sq. ft. of stuff doesn't fit into 300sq. ft. of living space ( "...The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised." Job 1:21) that your friend was kind enough to offer to you in his new home, so you don't have to live alone in a dark solitary cell of self-loathing. Sorry, I got carried away with how rich God's grace has been in my life over the last 2.5 years.
Ubershot costs about $2.70, which is an ok value, but pales in comparison to the aforementioned grace of God, which is completely free, and available to anyone who will confess their sins, recognizes their own inability to "earn" righteousness, and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ (who was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a life without sin, was fully God and fully man, died for our sins and was raised from the grave) and asks Him to save them from their wicked ways, and invites the Holy Spirit to come into their lives for Jesus' sake. A life of fulfillment and a relationship with the maker of the universe...and it's all free! If you're searching for meaning and purpose in your life, watch Steps to Peace with God a short flash movie by Billy Graham ministries.

Ubershot bottle looks nice.. can you buy it in the states? Edited by Jason: We were sent samples of this product, the Ubershot website has a "buy online" option, but I'm not sure if they have a distribution center in the states, or what the shipping ramifications are.
