Taste: 3/5 It is not the greatest tasting oil on the planet, but it is not really as bad as I had anticipated after reading several comments about it. To me it reminds me of Pine needles.
Effects: The biggest effect that I noticed when running a bottle was sweating a ton during my workout. My temperature would go up, and to me, that helps me truly get "warmed" up and ready to train hard. I also noticed a slight mental edge, probably due to the alcar, when studying or training. The final note that I would like to add, and I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the browning of fat cells, is that after completing a bottle of this, I entered ketosis in three days (faster than I ever have) on 120 g of carbs per day (more than I normally consume to enter ketosis). My fat gains also increased after stopping the use of Brite and decreasing cals by ~200 per day. This leads me to believe that there was a significant metabolism increase when using Brite.
Overall I wish that I could have ran more bottles, as I would venture to say that it is more effective in the long term and the effects build up.
The only drawback to the product is the price point, but I understand that it is expensive to make. You get what you pay for: A very novel fat loss(recomp) product that is useable in all situations.
4/5 due to the higher cost. Can't say enough about how I enjoyed it and will probably purchase again.
