Rockstar Pure Zero Fruit Punch

February 5th, 2014

Yay! It’s another drink that tastes like a Swizzels Matlow Double Dip! I love it, it’s a very synthetic and sugary tasting mixed fruit drink which fizzes itself down, yet contains only 4 calories per 100ml. Rockstar do seem to put in a lot of effort with their non-standard energy drink flavours and their range contains many of my personal favourites which includes this one. Even a lot of effort has gone in to the can which oozes quality with its dual texture surface.

No Fear Tropical Storm

February 1st, 2014

No Fear is generally one of my favourite brands of energy drink, not only for the flavour but also for the originality of a re-sealable can. The two newest additions to the range, Blue Storm and Tropical Storm, do not feature this latter unique selling point unfortunately. Whilst I enjoyed Blue Storm, Tropical Storm was sadly nothing special. It’s a sharp and sweet tropical drink which tastes much the same as any other tropical flavoured energy drink. Still, if you like that sort of thing then you get a lot of drink for your money so far as premium brands go.

Burn: Fruits of the Forest

January 29th, 2014

Or Frutos Do Bosque com Sumo as it says on the can. That last bit, according to my phone’s translation software is “with Jeremy”. I don’t think the translator is working properly. It’s average tasting though, quite berry like, but it gives you a massive kick.

Burn: Blue Refresh

January 25th, 2014

I was expecting something a bit like a raspberry freeze-pop but it was nothing like that. It’s more like a mixed fruit drink with a sharp touch to the flavour. It packs a really recent punch but tastes average. At least it is pretty original though.

Boost Sugar Free

January 22nd, 2014

I finally found Boost Sugar Free, but it’s not in a can. A 500ml bottle is all I could get hold of, and I really prefer to review 250ml can editions if at all possible. That said, it’s a nice yet unoriginal clone. Best chilled, of course, because being in a bottle it warmed up quite a bit by the time I’d got to the second half.

Boost Energy Cola

January 18th, 2014

Basically, it’s a really cheap tasting watery cola that left me feeling a little nauseous. It’s of course quite high in caffeine or it wouldn’t make an appearance on this site, but personally, if you like cola, get a proper brand. If you like energy drinks, get a proper energy drink.

Blue Spark Tropical Sugar Free

Well, it’s alright. That’s as complimentary as I’m getting with this drink. It was a little watery, but not offensive.

Blue Spark Mixed Fruit Sugar Free

January 11th, 2014

Really good! Nice and fruity, cheap, and low calorie too. I highly recommend this drink for something different to the usual array of supermarket own brands. It’s not too fizzy, not too sweet, not too bitter – just right. Go get a can right now…

Asda Blue Charge Diet Summer Fruits

January 4th, 2014

Asda are really trying hard with their energy drinks… but not quite hitting the spot. They’re going for variety of range over quality and it shows. Fancy a berry flavoured drink? They have one! Tropical? yup! Diet? Most of them! This is a berry drink, and it is sugar free (at least, I haven’t found a non-diet version yet). It’s very strong in flavour – like it is almost 50% cordial! Overall though it’s only average so it gets average scores.
