I took this gel as part of a rotation on my long runs this summer. It was hot. I took it while taking other brands, so this is subject to comparison in the moment. I did not particularly enjoy the citrus flavor. I usually am an all-citrus gel girl. This one had the fake citrus taste that reminded me of the smell of a restroom cleaning tab (sorry, not sorry). The substrate itself felt good and led to sustained energy. The easy-open tab is a huge benefit! While I won't be buying these again, I'm certain it fits someone's palette.
Easy tear top. I was able to tear it open with my teeth. There is a tab connector that prevents that little piece of packaging from ending up on the trail. No need to worry about littering or finding gel tabs in your shorts for three more weeks.
I'll start by saying that I don't have a particularly picky GI system. I'm blessed with the ability to manage most all gels. I did really like the way this glucose:fructose ratio made me feel. It created sustained energy that lasted multiple miles. I didn't feel an energy high or an energy slump after taking this gel.
