KX Fiery Sugar Free
April 19th, 2014Just as nauseating as the full fat version with the same fiery aftertaste, much as you might expect from a drink named as such. I can’t tell it’s sugar free from the taste when compared with the sugared version so go and read that review for my full critique.

Superman Energy Drink
April 16th, 2014In theory, this drink should be the best drink ever. It’s officially linked to DC according to the logos on the back, and it’s probably imported from Krypton or at the very least the Fortress of Solitude. Sadly though it tastes just like a cheap Red Bull knock-off. It’s on the sour side with notes of pear drops, but it’s still very much a cheap tasting drink. Shame really, they could have made a brilliant drink with branding like this. Here’s my suggestion: make it bright green like kryptonite, change the flavour to something more fruity, and brand it as an antidote to kryptonite… just a suggestion. Right, anyone seen a Batman energy drink?

Red Bull: Zero Calories
April 9th, 2014There are two things I need to say about this drink. Firstly, it doesn’t really taste like Red Bull, and Secondly it is not zero calories! It’s close, at 1.8 calories/100ml, but that’s not ZERO in my opinion. It tastes sharp and tart, but not like the usual smooth Red Bull flavour in the regular or sugar free varieties. I’d go so far to say that I’d class this as a bad clone if I didn’t know better! They’ve chosen a dark grey colour for the can which looks pretty cool, but to be honest for the difference in calorific value of about 6 calories, you’re much better off going for good old sugar free – it tastes like actual Red Bull for starters!

Jaguar Energy Drink
April 5th, 2014Awesome name, plain drink. It’s a clone to be sure, on the sweet side and quite nice, but nothing original. At 99p for a can, it’s also not cheap. At the time of writing, the official web site as printed on the can just redirects to a parked page, but the can is current and in date so I guess they’re still working on the branding.

KX Red Berry Sugar Free
April 2nd, 2014Just as with the ordinary KX Red Berry, it’s very strong and overpowering. Not to my taste but it is pretty original.

Crazy Devil
March 29th, 2014It’s a clone, and not a particularly interesting one. It’s nice tasting and as a bonus sugar-free by default (I’m assuming there’s no full fat version.) Discovered on the (German??) island of Majorca, this is a German energy drink.

XTREM
March 26th, 2014It’s a clone on the sweet side. Pretty nice tasting but nothing special. Then again, why did I expect from a can with the silver showing through so predominantly… just saying, it usually means it is a budget drink. I stumbled across this one in a vending machine in Madrid airport.
Source Tropical
March 22nd, 2014Meh… just a bland tropical tasting drink really. It’s inoffensive and that’s about as complimentary as I can be. To be honest, Morrison’s have just included this flavour to complete their band-wagon jumping range.
Mixxed Up – Guave
March 19th, 2014I’ve never tried a guava (guave? the spelling seems to vary everywhere) fruit, so don’t really know what it is supposed to taste like. This drink I can tell you about though. It has a non-descript slightly fruity taste which I can’t really compare to anything. I suppose it could be a mixture of all sorts of fruits watered down, much like a generic ‘fruit’ squash. It was nice, and being in a larger than normal can (330ml) gives you quite a kick, but I can’t say it would be top of my list to buy again.
