Nutri1st 3in1 Sports Drink Orange
April 26th, 2014It’s a clever idea – jump on the bandwagon of protein drinks by producing an energy drink with added protein. The 3in1 on the bottle refers to the combination of protein, carbohydrates and caffiene, and the drink is clearly marketed at the gym-going type. The taste, sadly, is not up to scratch. The orange is very bitter and not at all refreshing. If I were drinking this after a gym session, it wouldn’t help my stomach at all. Also if it’s protein you are after then you should probably go for an actual protein shake or protein bar – this drink contains less than 2g of protein.
KX Still Red Berry
April 23rd, 2014Sickly in quantity but not too bad overall. It’s more like drinking one of those cheap children’s plastic cup drinks than an energy drink because it’s still and not carbonated. Nothing original though as there are dozens of berry drinks which taste the same.

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?

Rockstar Juiced – Mango, Orange, Passion Fruit
April 12th, 2014It might list the fruits on the can, but it really is just a tropical flavour energy drink. Sweet, fruity, mildly refreshing but mostly a bit too sickly for my liking. I still prefer the more artificial flavour of Monster Ripper if you’re going to go down the tropical route.
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.
