Guaraná is a climbing plant native to the Amazon that produces a fruit, often reddish in color. The seeds of the plant are often used as a stimulant, which is more potent than the caffeine found in a similar quantity of coffee beans. For this reason it is commonly used in energy drinks today. Despite having tasted many energy drinks, I don't know specifically what guaraná is supposed to taste like. After opening the bottle however, I can tell you that this drink smells a little like feet after being released from a sweaty sock. The soda itself tastes very medicinal, and not like a sweetened cough syrup. There are notes that remind me of beer though not heavily. It's a distinct musky flavor that I can't say I enjoy. It must be a very acquired taste or something you have to grow up with to enjoy.
