Like a jelly doughnut (raspberry) July 18, 2008
Steve Ruskin (Colorado, United States)

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!
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.

I tried Hammer gel after I had several failing attempts with other gels, bars, jelly beans, and candies. My husband and I used it on our half marathon, and it was so easy on the stomach and the longevity was extremely beneficial. It tasted great and didn't make either of us feel as though we swallowed cement. I will certainly use this product from now on and encourage others to as well.
The best energy gel! June 27, 2009

I have tried so many different products - from beans, to blocks, to gels and this is the best flavor and consistency that I have found. The texture is more like liquid fudge rather than gooey gel.
My favorite gel - no caffeine October 23, 2009
Kcirtap (North Carolina, USA)

I was looking for a gel with no caffeine and this is a nice choice (only the expresso flavor has caffeine, I think). I don't like the taste of any of them but this is at least palatable. I plan on using this gel early in a marathon, then a caffeinated one later on. It tastes like vanilla frosting on steroids.
