Taste: 7/10 - All right..This flavor is controversial in my opinion, it's very hit and miss for different people. I've read a couple of reviews myself, and saw a handful of people who loved the flavor, and a handful who absolutely hated it. I personally love the flavor, I think it's a refreshing change from vanillas/chocolates/etc. But since this is a controversial flavor, I had my brother help me review this one so I would have more input, and he didn't even want to finish it. That's why instead of a 10/10, I'll give this a 7/8 because I don't want to misinform anyone and have them disappointed when they purchase it.
Mixability: 7/10 - I originally mixed with a spoon, and it mixed well enough to consume, but did have clumps and what-not floating around. I had to bust out the blender ball to get this one mixed completely, but it still was no hassle.
Effectiveness: 8/10 - It's a whey protein blend, 24grams per scoop, very good for post-workout or anytime you need/want quick digesting protein.
Overall thoughts: 9/10 - My overall thoughts were rated higher than any of the ratings I've given, which might seem weird, but I tried to give my ratings to help people looking at this review (and the flavor is truly hit and miss, my brother couldn't stomach it) but I personally LOVED the flavor ten times more than I rated it. So I'll give this a high overall for taste, effectiveness, and just being a high quality protein.

I bought the variety pack before to try some other flavors before buy a 4 lb one.
Among the variety pack Tropical Punch was the worst. I tried it with milk and water and i simply could not swallow it. So i'm gonna agree with your first comment about the flavor.
It's a nice review btw.Bodyfat Progress:

Haha, you're the perfect example of why I didn't want to rate the taste solely on my own opinion when it comes to this protein powder. Thanks for posting in this thread though! The extra info is great for when people want to try this product out one day, but decide to search for reviews first. It's always good to have a variety of opinions.
Thanks!

Yeah, I got like 4 sample packets of this from a BB.com order. While I was able to get it down.... it was a chore. Definitely one of my least favorite protein flavors I've tried, but still just barely drinkable. Maybe a 4 of 10?
