Works well, tastes like mud, September 11, 2007
It's a fuel-drink, so I didn't expect this to taste great. They call it orange-sicle, but it's really, really bland. Not such a big deal to me, because when you need this kind of endurance fuel, you need to have realistic expectations for flavor (my opinion, anyway).
I used this for the triple bypass ride this summer (120 miles, 10,000 feet of climbing). It did the job just fine. I needed to supplement electrolytes but I'm a 'white-streak' sweater so I burn through salt like crazy. Still, I needed it to keep me going for about 8 hours and it did.

Great Fuel for Long Endurance Events, April 21, 2010
This review is from: Perpetuem Sports Drink Mix by Hammer Nutrition (Misc.)
Perpetuem is a powder you mix with water to make a drink that supplies your needs during long endurance events. It contains complex carbs, healthy fats and a small amount of an easily digestible protein, as well as other ingredients to do things like buffer lactic acid.
If you like to mix it really strong (which is what I do; I carry plain water separately) consider the plain flavor, as the original flavor gets a bit sweeter than I like it when made that way. The latte flavor has gotten great reviews, is supposedly good even when not cold, and has a small amount of caffeine. I have not tried that flavor yet so I can't comment on it.
If you have trouble tolerating Perpetuem when running, consider Hammer's Sustained Energy as an option.
One other thing about Hammer -- the customer support is second to none. Their website is replete with information about sports nutrition and their products, and you can get advice from their well-trained staff. They will be happy to discuss your needs.

Good product, but NOT in individual packets, April 18, 2010
This review is from: Perpetuem Sports Drink Mix by Hammer Nutrition (Misc.)
Mild, enjoyable flavor...similar to melted creamscicle. Using this for half ironman. The product page shows the individual packet for the orange flavor 16 serving size. I received a large canister. I'll just have to transfer it over to snack size zip bags. No biggie--just misleading info page.
