Started ten years ago, Hi-Ball offers the first energy drink with no sugar, calories or sweeteners of any kind.

Hi-Ball's sugar-free option is classified by the company as a "sparkling energy drink" due to the fizzy soda-like carbonation with a crisp refreshing taste.

The website pre-loads a backdrop reading, "It's Good Energy."

"I've never seen an organic one until this one," says Atla Dena store clerk John Kim.

There are other organic energy drinks on the market but Hi-Ball is one of the most widely distributed organic energy products in the United States. Amazon, Costco and Whole Foods are three major retailers of Hi-Ball.

Many reviews positively highlight the lack of sugars and calories in the drink.

A few other reviews highlight the absolutely rancid taste of the drink. One user is bold enough to compare the taste to cough syrup.

Blog correspondent Andrew Kirwan recently tried Hi-Ball's cranberry-apple flavor energy drink.

The drink has 120-calroies and 30-grams of "organic" sugar in the 16-ounce can.

Before trying the drink today, Kirwan had never heard of Hi-Ball.

Kirwan recently purchased Hi-Ball in attempt to spice up the variety of this blog's content (and to stay awake of course) at a Smith's grocery store in Las Vegas, Nevada.

There is no taurine content in Hi-Ball.

The front of the can boasts "organic sugar" and here are some ingredients listed on the back...

Kirwan says Hi-Ball has more energy than Red Bull but less than Rip It.
