Power Horn
September 20th, 2014Again, it’s all in the name. I’m assuming that this is a special edition for Valentine’s day or something, but under the covers it is just a pretty bland clone. Slightly watery with a sticky aftertaste, but on the positive side it cost 99p for 6 cans.
Emerge Citrus Mist
September 13th, 2014I really like this. It’s like a rip-off of Mountain Dew, only smoother in flavour. When I opened the bottle, it make a satisfying ‘tsskk’ sound, and a gentle mist actually started flowing from the opening like an early morning scene in a BBC costume drama. Very dramatic for such a budget drink!
Powerking
September 6th, 2014Very budget. It’s basically Spar’s continental version of their own brand energy drink. Nothing more to tell really I’m afraid!
Rodeo
August 30th, 2014Yee haaa, you gotta love these Continental European energy drink naming policies. It’s another budget clone, but why not call it Rodeo? The name, I guess as with most other drinks to be fair, means nothing. They haven’t bothered with a colour in the name either, just plain Rodeo. It’s the only thing different about this mediocre drink sadly.
Web
August 23rd, 2014I’m assuming they are jumping on the technology bandwagon and not the spider-based super powers one. It’s a clone to be sure, but quite a nice one. Discovered in a “Powerdino” supermarket in Tenerife, a supermarket worth visiting just for the name alone!
Lucozade Energy Mango Mandarin (The Brazilian)
August 16th, 2014Too high in sugar, too low in caffeine, and much too tropical for my liking. It’s sharp and tart in flavour, mostly taking its flavour from pineapple from what I can tell. It’s Lucozade’s World Cup 2014 special edition and apparently “it’s like a carnival in your mouth”. Hmm.

Extreme Energy
August 9th, 2014I was expecting a regular boring clone, but what I got was something very different. I tastes quite medical – like a non-minty mouthwash! Tipping it out in to a glass reveals it is also an unusual colour too – bluey greeny. IT contains more caffeine than most energy drinks too at 40mg/100ml so packs a real punch. I’ve never tasted an energy drink like this so at least those people at the Extreme Sport Channel have licensed something original.
V Sugar Free
August 2nd, 2014Just as I remember the full fat V energy drink, this sugar free one is also on the right side of sweet and sharp. Being a guarana based drink, I am still assuming that this is where the bulk of the flavouring comes from – and as I’m now writing this review having tasted Guarana Antarctica I can say that there are certainly similarities between them.

KX Still Red Berry Sugar Free
July 12th, 2014Very, very watery! I think there’s a reason that most fruity energy drinks are carbonated, and that’s because without those bubbles tingling your nerve endings you just don’t get much flavour out of the drink at all. It’s like a very weak berry flavoured squash. Probably better for drinking if you’re about to do some strenuous exertion of some sorts, but other than that it’s not up to much.
