TASTE: In my opinion, this is the best tasting creatine supplement that I have ever used... Comparatively, it is not something that I would drink everyday if it did not have creatine in it -- just a frame of reference, but it is still the best tasting powder supplement, in my opinion. The sour apple is done just right and, when mixed with twenty-four ounces of water, is a pleasure to drink.
9.5/10
MIXABILITY: In my opinion, this is not the easiest mixing creatine that I have ever used, but it is pretty damn close -- it still mixes easier than ninety percent of creatine powders... I let the powder settle in twenty-four ounces of water for five minutes and gave it a quick shake -- alas, it was fully dissolved and evenly dispersed... After I finished drinking it, there was no residue left at the bottom... Nice!
9/10
EFFECT: Let me preface this by stating that I have never made a ten pound increase on my bench press in a week -- the most that I have ever increased my bench press by in a week is five pounds. Excluding my week's nutrition, supplementation and exercise, I increased my bench press by ten pounds this week. I felt more motivated, more energized and stronger than ever before -- I will let that speak for itself.
10/10
Overall... 9.5/10... Sweet job, Controlled Labs -- this will be a staple of my supplementation for a long time!

TASTE: Plainly and simply, Purple Wraath does not taste good... But, it does not taste bad neither. I do not understand as to why users complain so much about this -- maybe the feeback that I am viewing is centered more around the first version, as I have heard that vast improvements have been made in regards to its taste. Just like the Green Magnitude, I would not drink this on a regular basis if it did not have all of the ingredients that it has. But, it tastes good enough that I look forward to drinking it before and during my workout and it does not require any effort to finish in this department.
8.5/10
MIXABILITY: Alright, let me make sure one thing is clear: if any of you have tried an EAA/BCAA complex, you know that it is surprisingly difficult to dissolve into solution. I usually have to mix this type of product constantly for minutes upon minutes on end in order to have a drinkable mix. Purple Wraath, if left to settle in twenty-four ounces of water, dissolves easily with a quick shake. I was skeptical from the beginning, but I was pleasantly surprised when I mixed it for the first time. You do not understand how good of a job Controlled Labs did with getting Purple Wraath to mix the way it does unless you have previous experience with EAA/BCAA.
7/10 -- compared to other powders, 10/10 -- compared to other EAA/BCAA.
EFFECT: It may seem like I am not satisfied with Purple Wraath at this point, but taking one scoop pre-workout and one scoop during a workout is something that needs to experienced. Besides the unbelievable tingling sensation that I feel when I take this (which I kind of like), Purple Wraath gets me motivated, focused and filled with endurance... The first time that I took this, my heart was racing and my vision was blurred throughout the entire workout (not to mentioned how strongly this gets me sweating)... I never wanted to stop my workout and I was able to squeeze out one or two additional repetitions on almost all of my sets/exercises.
10.5/10 -- Purple Wraath is truly something special!
I must also mention that Purple Wraath improved my pumps (already sweet with Green Magnitude and White Blood).
And, since the effect is only part that I care about, you sure as hell know how I rate Purple Wraath!
EFFECT: After starting Green Magnitude and Purple Wraath the week before, it was easy to see the effects of White Blood by incorporating a full dosage (four capsules) of it a half hour before my first chest workout of the week. I was already getting great pumps from the former two supplements, but White Blood made it just plain difficult to move. Since then, I have decreased my full dosage to three capsules and the results have been more than bareable. I feel fully pumped all day now without any restriction of movement... Before, with four capsules, it was too much for me. Oh, I forgot to mention the muscle vascularity and fullness -- the latter was everything that I expected, but the former I did not notice much because I still have more fat to lose for my cutting phase. But, rest assured, when I get my body fat down to where I want it to be, that this vascularity will be much more noticeable.
Great product, but take the recommended dose... This product also stacks very well!
Overall: 9/10
The only reason that I rated this a 9/10 is that I like Green Magnitude and Purple Wraath better than White Blood and my ratings should reflect such a preference...
