Monster Ubermonster

June 25th, 2015

From the design of the can and the ‘brew’ tagline, along with the specifically mentioned ‘non-alcoholic’ statement, I really expected this drink to taste like non-alcoholic beer. I was very wrong – it tastes like a smooth version of normal Monster Energy. There’s a lot of this drink in the can, but fortunately it has the ‘No Fear’ style re-sealable can design so you can easily save it for later, and despite being carbonated, it’s not *too* carbonated so you won’t notice it going flat if you do save some for later. It’s apparently brewed (instead of mixed up like a normal drink?) using proprietary German technology. Vorsprung durch energy drinks.

Asda Blue Charge Diet Lemon and Elderflower

June 20th, 2015

Light and refreshing but not much of a kick. It’s quite low in caffeine but the light lemon flavour is just right making it a pleasant experience.

Euro Shopper Sour Apple

June 13th, 2015

It’s okay, but it’s a budget apple flavoured drink. It’s not sour by any definition of the word, but it is quite sickly and sweet. Basically, it’s fizzy apple squash.

Power+ Sugar Free

June 9th, 2015

It tastes okay, but a little on the bitter side of the clone drinks. It’s sugar free, so it has that in its favour, and there’s a lot of it, but it doesn’t seem to pack that much of a wake-up punch.

Rockstar Energy Water – Blueberry and Pomegranate Acai

June 6th, 2015

I like this lots! I couldn’t taste either the pomegranate or acai, but the blueberry flavour was perfect. Not strong and sickly, but mild and very refreshing. Top marks all round for this drink.

Rockstar Energy Water – Peach

May 30th, 2015

Well, it’s not too offensive. It’s quite watery, as you’d expect from something named Energy Water. I don’t like peach drinks, they’re worse than tropical in my opinion, but this wasn’t as bad as it could have been.

Euro Shopper Sour Cherry

May 23rd, 2015

I really like this. Synthetic and strongly flavoured, it’s really nice as well as quite cheap. It’s not very sour at all though as you would expect (come on, the ultra sour drink challenge is still open).

Red Kick

May 16th, 2015

I found this in a health food store, and as per usual any drink I get from a health food store tastes like cr..ubbish. I didn’t even finish the whole bottle because it tasted so naff. It didn’t give me much of a boost either even given the normal levels of caffeine.

Asda Blue Charge Sour Apple

May 9th, 2015

Yeah, it’s not sour! Come on beverage makers, make a properly actually really really sour drink and THEN you can call it sour! It’s apple, it’s caffeinated, that’s all.
