Moose Juice: Berry

October 28th, 2017

I generally like the berry energy drinks – each one tends to taste very different depending on which berry they’ve chosen to base it around. In this instance I was quite surprised – I think it’s like a sherbet cherry flavour. It’s really sweet and tangy, and very nice especially on the scorching hot day I tried it on. It has a slightly higher caffeine content than most drinks, and also includes the body-builder’s favourite BCAAs if you like that sort of thing.

Spike Shooter

May 27th, 2017

This drink is dangerous! Pay careful attention to the caffeine content labelled on the can and the associated warning text. A regular can of Red Bull contains 32mg of caffeine per 100ml of drink, Spike contains more than three times that amount making this a very potent cocktail. Ok, so it genuinely has zero calories, but there is a warning on the can advising you to drink just half a can in order to assess your tolerance to it. It *will* wake you up, and in my case give you a headache which is unusual for me! I followed the instructions, consuming half a can first, waiting about 8 hours before having the rest and I’d suggest anyone else trying this drink also be cautious. It does taste pretty good though – it’s a smooth mixed berry flavour from what I can tell and it’s balanced about right.

Emerge – Juicy Berry

May 7th, 2016

Yeah I’m pretty sure that Emerge re-brand every week. I can’t keep up with their ‘Dual’ or not ‘Dual’ or whatever branding, and now it appears they have taken their berry flavour and just called it Juicy Berry. I don’t think this is a new drink, but it’s got a new name.

Mixxed Up: Berry

January 24th, 2015

I wasn’t too fussed about this one. Again, it’s just like Ribena in an energy drink can. I found it too sickly, and the fact that I had to buy 6 cans in order to try it meant that I had 5 cans left over to get rid of.

Nutri1st 3in1 Sports Drink Berry

May 14th, 2014

Infinitly better than the Orange variety of this drink, as in it didn’t make me feel sick. It really does just taste like slightly fruity still water. Okay, so it’s got a tiny amount of protein in it, but it’s not worth the money in my opinion so just buy a protein bar and a can of Red Bull instead.

KX Still Red Berry

April 23rd, 2014

Sickly 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 Red Berry Sugar Free

Just as with the ordinary KX Red Berry, it’s very strong and overpowering. Not to my taste but it is pretty original.

LSV Juiced Mixed Berry

February 26th, 2014

Cheap and naff, to be honest. A non-descript blackcurrant flavour, a little sharp for my liking. It’s an obvious attempt to jump on the flavoured energy drink market. Step 1) choose between tropical, orange, berry, citrus. Step 2) Sell new flavour. It’s not original and I hope these brands start to innovate a bit more in future.

Source Sugar Free Mixed Berry

February 15th, 2014

Tart and sickly. I suppose it’s okay for a budget supermarket own-brand, but it brings nothing original to the energy drinks market and isn’t particularly to my taste either.
