5.0 out of 5 stars Like a jelly doughnut (raspberry), July 18, 2008

I've bought Hammer Gels for training (trail running and mountain biking) and been provided with them during two mountain races that Hammer sponsored. Hammer Gels seems to taste better than most other brands (although most flavors of Gu Energy Gel are also quite good). A serving of Hammer Gel is typically larger than other brands (1.25oz vs. 1.1oz for Gu, for example), although this does not mean Hammer Gels necessarily provide more calories (just 86 calories in a packet of Hammer raspberry, vs. 100 calories in smaller sizes from other brands). But Hammer does claim to be made with natural ingredients.

Hammer raspberry flavored gel is hands down the best flavor--it tastes like the inside of a jelly doughnut. When you are pounding up a trail or down a road, there's nothing like the thought of a jelly doughnut to keep you going...delicious!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Energy Gel I've Tried, November 12, 2007

I've only tried the vanilla and chocolate, but they both taste pretty good when you've been running for hours (kinda like cake frosting). More than the flavor, I've found that my runs are better with them. The carbs in this are "long chains" so they burn more slowly - preventing the sugar rush and crash that I've found with Gu, honey, and sports-drinks. In fact, I attribute my first jog over 6 miles without light-headedness and nausea to the fact that it was also my first time trying this product (I went 12 miles - and was totally fine - a record for me at the time) I used these in my first half marathon and beat my target time by over fifteen minutes! I'm not saying this is a miracle product, but I think it's the best of its kind out there. If you're serious about your endurance sport, you need to at least try this stuff. I'm psyched to discover Amazon sells it - it's not as easy to find in stores as other energy gels.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best gel on the market for my money (pick your flavor wisely), March 19, 2011

Read the nutrition facts and ingredients and make up your own mind about the nutritional merits of this product. For my money it's not a PowerGel fructose bomb and tastes a lot better than Gu (Clif Shots aren't bad but I've never seen the bulk gel for sale).

On the flavor front: Raspberry >> Apple Cinnamon = Huckleberry > Banana = Tropical >>> Chocolate, Expresso or Orange. I haven't tried the others. I'd really avoid those last three. I know a few guys that like the chocolate and expresso but I'm yet to meet an orange fan.

The little packets are good for picking your flavor but once you've got that sorted out go ahead and get the Hammer Gel flask and bulk bottle of the gel. It's a much better system for serving it up for your daily run/ride.
