Emerge Juiced – Tropical

November 24th, 2012

Nooo, another tropical drink! Nope, I didn’t like this much. It was sour, sharp, and everything I don’t like about tropical flavoured drinks. It was very cheap though, but even that doesn’t make up for the taste. Stick with their bog standard energy drink or if you must go for tropical, splash out on something a little more expensive.

Watervit – Refresh & Revive

November 23rd, 2012

Watervit is Boot’s own-brand range of juice mixed drinks under the ‘shapers’ banner of products which appear to be aimed at the health conscious female lunchtime buyers. Refresh & Revive is lemon and lime flavoured but in my opinion tastes like lemon-meringue flavoured Muller Crunch Corner yoghurts – it’s amazing! This is a brilliant drink with average caffeine content that I’d be happy to buy again.

Lucozade Energy Caribbean Crush

November 3rd, 2012

Oh no, not another tropical energy drink. Well, that was what crossed my mind as I opened the bottle and the smell emerged. The actual flavour, however, was quite a sweetened tropical taste, which took the edge off the usual sharpness of the fruit. They’ve also thrown in a background note of coconut which, I’m pleased to say, made it better. I really enjoyed this drink I have to say.

Lucozade Energy – Pink Lemonade

October 27th, 2012

This drink is nice… it’s fruity, sweet, and everything you’d expect from Pink Lemonade. I’m puzzled by the Lucozade branding though, because as a sports drink it is pretty bad – it’s far too sickly and sweet to be refreshing. If you want a change, give it a go, but if you’re after a refreshing sports drink, stick to the flavours you’re familiar with.

No Fear Super Charged

October 20th, 2012

Wow. Possibly the biggest buzz I’ve had from an Energy Drink in ages. My tongue went kind of numb and tingly, which I’m sure isn’t a good thing. It tasted pretty good though despite being a bit Red Bull-y… but I’m going to be kind and not stick it in the clone category. I’d recommend this drink only when you plan on not sleeping for a few days. Sadly it doesn’t have the re-sealable can like its regular sibling.

Mountain Dew Energy – Game Fuel

October 13th, 2012

Wow! I do love Mountain Dew, and it’s always annoyed me that you can’t get the same range of flavours here in the UK as our US cousins enjoy. Well, Game Fuel is at least a step in the right direction. Released as a special flavour in honour of the launch of Halo 4, this Citrus and Raspberry drinks tastes awesome. Unlike most other Mountain Dew varieties, this one isn’t fluorescent in colour either. It’s fruity and refreshing, and only (compared to other energy drinks) lightly caffeinated. I hope it is a permanent addition to the range.

Chillax

October 6th, 2012

I’ve had to start a new category: anti-energy drinks. Chillax is NOT an energy drink, but is in fact designed to chill you out, relax you, generally wind you down. It predomenantly contains rosehip juice as well as chamomile and passionflower to bolster its laid back credentials. It does taste really good too. Of course, with this being an energy drink site, it won’t score that highly due to the lack of caffiene. Give it a go, makes a change completely to the usual

Red Bull Cola

September 29th, 2012

Technically, I don’t normally allow colas a space on this web site because I don’t count them as energy drinks. I’ve made the occasional exception for colas which try to be energy drinks by containing guarana or taurine, but it’s always by exception. Red Bull Cola is another exception, but only because of its name. In every other respect it doesn’t count as an energy drink even though it packs in the same amount of caffeine as Lucozade. It tastes like a cola. That’s it really, nothing exceptional at all really and it’s not even one of the better colas. I was hoping for a slightly cola flavoured mix with Red Bull which would have been interesting but nope, it’s just a cola.
