The strawberry’s not only going to be wild, it’ll be livid 🙂 Not as bitter tasting as I thought it would be – usually shots are very sour and bitter. This one, whilst still on the sour side, mostly tasted of concentrated apple. There was a slight strawberry aftertaste but it’s pretty much apple all the way down. Not as highly caffeinated as many other shots, which is a good thing because a lot of them are trying to pack 200mg into a 60ml drink and that’s ridiculous. This is a more sensible 100mg dose, so only slightly more than a regular 250ml can of energy drink would contain.

Regular readers will know that I’m not a fan of apple flavoured drinks. Even combined with melon didn’t improve it for me. It wasn’t too strong or artificial though, but be warned that this drink packs a punch in terms of caffeine. Not only does it have a high 55mg/100ml content, it’s also a slightly larger can than normal at 330ml which means there’s 181.5mg of caffeine in this can compared to the 80mg in a regular 250ml can. So be careful, assume you are drinking more than two cans when you consume this!

I found this at Heathrow airport so obviously paid a premium for it. Yeah, it was ok – the apple was sharp and because of that you need to make sure it’s ice cold or it gets a bit sickly to drink. Not as nice as the original Hell energy drink.
Another excellent variety from the Sparkling Ice+Caffeine range (three-for-a-pound don’t you know!). Refreshing, not too strong in flavour but certainly not watery. I’d say the raspberry is the dominant flavour here rather than the apple.

I’m not a fan of apple-flavoured drinks as regular readers will be aware. And I’m also not going to tell Mr Fury to his face that I didn’t like this drink much, so can someone else please pass on that message so as I can keep my face as it is?? It’s appley, but not very sour, and the apple flavour itself is more like a mild watered down synthetic flavouring rather than a stronger apple squash flavour. You might like it, I didn’t really think much of it.
Yeah I know I’m not a fan of apple-flavoured drinks, but I put myself through this punishment just for you, dear readers. Not, I didn’t like it. It was sharp and left a bad aftertaste in my mouth just as I’d feared. Very artificial tasting and quite sickly to get through, I’d give this particular Warrior flavour a miss and go with one of the others which are considerably better.

Meh. Well, what can you expect for 25p? It’s slightly bitter and a bit sickly, like cheap apple squash really.
This is the third variety of Reign that I have discovered so far. Sour Apple is refreshing and not very sour at all. It’s fruity and gets the balance just right, without being sickly at all even after drinking a whole large can of it.

Despite the awesome can graphics, this really was just a cheap tasting fizzy apple drink. It was quite sweet tasting and left a tangy aftertaste… I couldn’t recommend it.
