Jason's Review

I really can't say enough bad things about this drink. From the packaging to the taste, it's all-around bad. The "No Fear" series as a whole has always seemed a little tacked on. I'm used to seeing "No Fear" stickers on the back of a 1998 Ford F-150 truck, otherwise tastefully decorated with a rebel flag back glass, through which you can make out the faint outline of a hunting rifle, and John Deere hat atop the head of a man who's likely wearing a "Big Johnson" shirt with the sleeves cut off. This mental image does not go hand-in-hand with the Sobe No Fear Gold can, which sports a background design so innovative that Louis Vuitton lawyers should be involved soon, a big gold chain design, and of course a mostly gold can. This can is too fake pimped out for Billy D. Williams.

Things don't improve in the way of taste. I imagine the production notes look something like, "Take all the leftover fruit from a Golden Coral Buffet, mash it up on the bathroom floor, mop it up with 3 week old mop water, ring the mop into an old pickle jar, drop in a couple of Alka-Seltzer for fiz, a 5 lb. bag of sugar to disguise some of the horrific taste, poor into unsightly cans, and serve chilled". If this doesn't sound bad enough, imagine some dookie in there too. As for the actual ingredients, the most amusing is one called sodium hexametaphosphate, which is described being used, "to protect flavor". To me, this is like putting rats in charge of protecting a mass grave of plague victims.

Any energy I got from this soda was quickly consumed feverishly scribbling down bad things to say about it. I had to drink a Twinlab Energy Fuel to find the strength to go on.

Overall, bad package, bad taste, and at best average energy. This is one of the few cases where less is more. I'd give this soda a better value rating if it was 8.3oz. just because I'd have to endure less of it. The only advantage to the larger can is the extra $.0032 additional recycling value.


Guests's Review

I wasn't really sure what to expect since the last Sobe No fear sodas weren't really close in flavor or energy. So when I opened it and was rushed with the smell of sewage and passion fruit I was severly disappointed. Luckily the flavor wasn't as bad as the smell was. Not that this was a great tasting beverage but it wasn't horrible. Passion fruit is just not a good flavor in my opinion, but this one was not as bad as some of the others I've had in this flavor category. Gold was very lightly carbonated and I didn't give it a chance to thicken up for fear of the nastiness that may be become of a somewhat ok energy drink. If you're looking for a high energy drink this is not it. A quick look at the active ingredients you'll see that all 16oz of this can has just about as much caffeine as a cup and a half of coffee.

Sobe No Fear Gold can or bottle design and textual information
Sobe has come up with a new energy drink to add to the No Fear family, and it's Gold! This can is so shiny you should be able to see it from miles away. It sports so much bling you might want to hide it for fear of being jumped walking down the street. But as the can clearly states you should have No Fear. The logo and all are the same only this one looks like it has been coated in fake gold foil.

sobe no fear gold i would have to say is one of my favorite energy drinks and im pretty upset that they arent being stocked in stores or gas stations in my area anymore
Richard Mitchell@2011-05-06 15:20:30
Ok dude Seriously You have problems dude The first time this came out it got me hooked it was horrible....... yeah the only problem it was my first one dude when i was 12 and needed it... i gave it another chance dude it was beastly ok. No matter what unless u've had diversity in your energy drinks you really really are not gonna like any other kind. 3 years later at 15 dude im loving every energy drink i taste.... maybe you should've given it another chance becuase no one likes the first sip. Not the best Reveiw. Thanks for the feedback, you know, we're just getting started here. Maybe 6 more years of reviews and we won't be such total n00bs.

Dude, sobe no fear gold is the best tasting drink I have ever had the pleasure to drink, the discontinuing of this drink is extremely upsetting.
Shane@2009-11-06 10:54:47
Honestly, out of most of the energy drinks I've tried, Sobe No Fear Gold is one of the few I can stomach. I wouldn't describe it as like sewage, as some people have; to me, it smells like most other energy drinks. Like medicine.
glenn@2009-04-29 17:03:41
Since Pepsico bought out Sobe, Why doesn't anyone start emailing them to put Sobe Gold back on the market!
TLF @2009-04-27 12:48:44

I love Sobe No Fear Gold energy drink, i don't know why so many people don't like it. It's my favorite drink by far. But it seems they have discontinued it. I can't find it anywhere.
CJ Ward@2008-11-03 00:59:09
I love Sobe No Fear Gold. Whenever i felt down or just no energy, I would drink this and feel right up and good to go. People can bash on me about it, but i could care less, this is one of the best drinks i have ever had.
Joe Blow@2008-09-12 23:32:23
Sobe No Fear Gold is one of my all time favorites! It tastes similar to the regular No Fear in the red and black can. I haven't been able to find it for a while. Does anyone know if they still make it?
JR@2008-09-12 18:21:44
I loved Sobe No Fear Gold, but I can't find it any more though :(
toot@2008-07-22 10:02:04
Sobe No Fear Gold is the nastiest drink in the world. it sucks.
Aklarand@2008-06-17 23:23:13
I really like Sobe No Fear Gold. It's been a staple of my diet for a few years now. Problem is that, as far as some places know, it's discontinued. Sadly, it seems to be true as Sobe Inc has responded with a somewhat affirmative answer to that. I'm currently cleaning the last of the inventory from most of my local stores.
Ugzz@2008-05-29 13:02:50
Sobe No Fear Gold is not terrible, but not that great either. I drank these for a few months daily because my local supplier dropped Rip-It and replaced their stock with these. The only reason i stuck with them is because they were at $1.25 which is rather low for a sobe product. The boost was average but for 1.25 it was worth it. Had i been paying 2.00+ for these i would have chose another beverage.

This stuff is really good. Simple as that, maybe not as much energy, but definitely delicious, besides who cares if you only get 14842394 grams of caffiene compared to 9097857985079 grams?
Alex Gatton@2008-03-22 23:04:32
Sobe No Fear Gold is one of the better energy drinks out there. It gives a great energy boost and it is not a bad taste at all. If you let this review sway your opinion that just means MORE FOR ME =D
bryan@2008-03-08 21:25:35
Sobe No Fear Gold is not much for energy but I love the stuff. Taste better than the red no fear can. keep up the good work in my opinion
Shane@2008-03-02 08:52:13
Ehhh its ok. The flavor was pretty good, but had a bite to it. The kick was good, too.
Kim@2007-12-03 09:52:37
I took a sip of "Gold" and I recieved a taste of rancid grapefruit. I wanted to kiss my dog's butt to take the taste out of my mouth. I think i"ll drink water from now on.
