The flavor is good and it does its job!!!
Review by Lawrence
Hammer gel has real flavors. It gives me steady energy rather than the sugar spike followed by a crash that I get from some gels. My favorite is raspberry - real fruit and not too sweet. If you want caffeine, the espresso flavor has a lot, along with serious coffee flavor.
A few months ago, Hammer thinned out their gels, making them easier to use. They increased the size of the bottles to keep the same weight of the contents. Since Hammer changed the consistency, the gels flow much better from the little bottles-even in the cold. I really enjoy using the Hammer gel bottles now. Less waste and lower cost than individual gels. Also, I find the gel bottle easier to use than single gel packs- and I don't get the gel all over my fingers.

I think hammer gel is very effective, helps me keep going on longer rides. Over 70, so I need a boost now and then. Westernbikeworks always provides dependable service!

Have been using Hammer for almost a year now. Just started using the larger size for convenience. Really like the way hammer gives me that little extra in addition to my normal energy food intake.

cant carry on your rides due to the bulk size. I give 2 star from usability perspectives. Back to single use GU packages.

I have used Hammer Gel for a long time. It's super simple to use with a Gel Flask and provides instant energy. And, no fussing with a foil packet, getting my fingers sticky, or worrying about disposal. Has saved me from bonking more times than I can count. Highly recommended.

I use it mountain biking for a burst of energy just before steep climbs or late in a ride when feeling fatigued

I love Hammer Gel. It has save me (and my wife) from bonking on many rides. I also like the flask system - I find it so much easier to use versus the individual foil packets. And, you don't have to worry about packing the used up sticky packets (or littering with them). Love this product!!

I have been using Hammer gel for years. I premix 75% gel and 25% water and it works great.

Mountain biker. I use Hammer Gel when I need a boost of energy before a big climb on the bike. I actually feel the boost!
Review by Soxfan
On a three hour ride I fill up 3 small bottles for my jersey pockets and use every 30 minutes. After trying many other brands I hit the jackpot with
Hammer Gel. I highly recommend this product to other cyclists.

Just the ticket for those long days in the saddle. Prevent bonking without stopping to eat!

I've used bars, other gels, and regular foods. None compares to the nutrition I get from Hammer Gel. I take a single squeeze once an hour and I can ride all day long. In fact it kept me fueled on a 9-hour, 170 mile ride from Boston to Millbrook, NY!

I use this large container to fill a squeeze bottle...Now I never have that sticky gel pack wrapper to carry...It's also far less expensive

Tastiest product for what it is. A quick boost of energy prior or during a race.

Great taste, great energy boost. The refill bottle is great to use with a flask, and less waste, less chance of polluting the environment.

Switched to this product and found it hits a little softer than others. Will continue to use it.

I have no problem with the product itself, just the packaging. I assume it is designed to fill a flask to take on a ride. I tried that, but the product is too thick and does not flow out of the flask. You end up with a flask of liquid that is inaccessible on the ride.
