Raspberry Hammergel is not bad. I don't think any gels are that great, but this one is at least edible.

I'm going to have to go with Hammer Gel, since that is what is pushed by my LTS.  But than again, I like Honey Stingers.  Oh darn, already voted.

I voted for Accel Gel. Cliff gels have a bitter after taste for me.  I like PowerGel but it's a bit thick and I've found I prefer the lower viscosity Accel Gel, though it costs a bit more.  So, I use PowerGel and Accel Gel mostly.  Nothing wrong with Carb-boom but suppliers here have mostly the flavors with caffeine and I try not to have caffeine in any part of my diet.  GU is ok, but I just don't want a small 1.1 oz packet.  I only go with 1.4 oz sizes.  Guess maybe I need a flask.

I really like Hammer Gel Raspberry because it tastes yummy, but also because they actually know what it does to diabetics and it doesn't have a ton of sugar! Yay

Power Gels own. Vanilla is mah fav. LA Tri Club on all their club rides gives away green apple, not so good, but better than most.

Cytomax's Gulp N' Go is my favorite...besides my sponsors gel (EnergyShotz), of course. It tastes just like cake batter.

Since, I'm probably the only person to even try it. I guess it's easy to see which one I voted for

After having tried many different types, I have to go with Hammer Gel. Nutrition wise, you can't beat it. It's not loaded w/artificial crap that you don't need.
