Brite: Raspberry Mint

December 7th, 2024

I don’t shop at Ocado very often, maybe just once or twice a year as a treat and for a bit of variety. But getting a delivery from them means that I can take that opportunity to try some more unusual energy drinks that they sell. This is the first of three flavours of ‘Brite’ that I’m trying. Raspberry Mint is strange. It tastes neither like raspberry nor like mint, but what you end up with is some sort of tangy fruitiness. I’m not a fan of this one to be honest, it’s watery but still sickly and a bit bitter. But… two more flavours to try so perhaps the others are less strange.

Tenzing Lime and Mint

November 23rd, 2024

Someone out there must like the combination of lime and mint because a lot of drinks are coming out with this flavour. I think it’s supposed to be a bit like a mojito? I find the combination strange and sickly personally but other people have mentioned to me that’s it’s quite refreshing so I guess my opinion is not the popular one!

Warrior Rage Energy Shot: Energy Burst

November 16th, 2024

When you open this bottle you get an aroma not too different to Calpol. Which is a good thing because everyone loves the taste of Calpol! The taste is of course both extremely sweet and bitter at the same time, which is what you have to expect from an energy shot really. It reminds me a lot of the original Red Bull energy shot from several years ago, when energy shots were all the rage. Rage 🙂 get it? Cuz this is called Warrior Rage? No? Oh ok, well, a good energy shot, sorry for the ramblings!

G Fuel Ice Shatter

November 9th, 2024

It’s a bit like the white Monster but with a slight twist. Blueberry and lemon, so it’s a tangy version of a blueberry drink. Refreshing and very heavy on the caffeine.

Bob Ross Positive Prussian Blue Raspberry

November 2nd, 2024

I think we can all agree that this is what Bob Ross would have wanted, his own range of energy drinks. This is a US import and the Americans know how to make an energy drink. Lots of high fructose corn syrup and the most artificial of flavourings and colours possible! Blue raspberry at its synthetic finest.

Reign Storm: Kiwi Blend

October 26th, 2024

I don’t like apple, luckily the kiwi flavour has toned down the appleness and this is an ok drink for the summer. Fresh and fruity without being sickly.

Rockstar Zero Sugar Blueberry

October 12th, 2024

Quite a light flavoured blueberry drink. It’s neither watery nor too strong, a good balance and zero calories too. Blueberry is a good flavour for energy drinks I think because it’s different enough from the regular mixed fruit flavours but doesn’t have the harshness of other berry flavoured drinks.

Reign Storm: Peach Nectarine

October 5th, 2024

Another one of what I think is intended to be Reign’s healthier-looking drinks with pictures of real fruit on the front. I’m not a big fan of peach drinks but this was sort of ok. I mean, it was too peachy for me but if you like peach then I guess the balance of flavour is pretty good!

Reign Storm: Valencia Orange

September 28th, 2024

Nice and fresh. The orange (I can’t vouch for the Valencian origin of those oranges) flavour is balanced well, not massively strong but not weak and watery either. Quite an interesting design for the can too, taking design hints from those other brands which are targeting the health market. You still have the large Reign logo, but you now have the silver background and actual pictures of fruit!
