You know the hot fruit is pomegranate. Full of antioxidants and with great flavor, pomegranate is showing up everywhere. It’s in several energy drinks, but there are few zero carb pomegranate energy drinks and few that have an excellent flavor. While the great tasting, low carb pomegranate energy drinks are few a thunderous clamor is heard as a new energy drink makes its way onto the scene to help fill the void. That energy drink is Loud Pomberry Zero. I’ve been impressed with Loud’s three past flavors (Grapple Sauce, Sitrus Stunner, and Classic), but this is Loud’s first zero carb drink. Loud decided to go all out here, with a triple threat: zero carbs, zero sugar, zero calories. There’s no half measures to this drink. The design of their Pomberry Zero can maybe their best yet with a black background providing a nice canvas for the familiar logo in silver and purple. Loud has been excellent across all dimensions in previous reviews, but can they keep up the performance in the notoriously difficult zero carb energy drink category?

Pomberry Zero Energy Drink flows out of the can with a pomegranate juice color. When you taste Pomberry it has a ton of pomegranate flavor that bursts into your mouth. This is one of the most pomegranate flavored energy drinks I have had yet. Loud has really captured the essence of pomegranate with the drink mixing earthy sweetness and the richness of the tart pomegranate. I like what they have done by adding a little berry to the mix. The berry comes in as a natural, but sweet raspberry and mellows some of the harsher aspects of pomegranate so that you get an upfront sweetness with some raspberry notes before the flavors fade to more of the authentic pomegranate. It’s really well done and ends up tasting like an excellent pomegranate that has been sweetened to perfection without any bitterness. I like how the pomegranate flavor lingers a bit and even blends in a little green tea earthiness at the end to develop an impressive and light flavor that almost forces you to keep drinking. They say that pomegranate is the forbidden fruit, but Loud has made it really accessible while maintaining its seductive appeal.

Loud figured that if they were messing with the ingredients to produce a 0 calorie, 0 sugar, 0 carb energy drink then they might as well tweak their formula as well. This might scare you a bit since previous flavors of Loud Energy Drink have produced big bangs of energy production. Let me assure you that you need not worry. The ingredients include citric acid, taurine as ingredient #3, caffeine, calcium, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, guarana, green tea extract, ginger root extract, and chromium nicotinate. The green tea extract, ginger root, and chromium were not in previous flavors and add a little something extra. I found that not only did Loud Pomberry Zero produce a similar gang buster level of energy to the previous Loud drinks, but also had the energy burst last a little longer. There’s all another side benefit, which is that after drinking Pomberry Zero you feel full for a few hours. I chalk that up to the ginger and chromium and it’s a nice touch for a zero calorie energy drink. The sugar free aspect of Pomberry Zero is nice and is hardly noticeable in the taste, but is noticeable for the lack of energy crash. Loud has exceeded my expectations for Pomberry Zero and produced another stunning energy drink for consumption.
