A brief Red Bull history lesson: in the beginning was Krating Daeng, manufactured by TC Pharmaceutical (TCP). Red Bull as we know it in the West was derived from Krating Daeng for Western tastes in partnership with the owner of TCP, however products under the Red Bull brand name in Thailand are manufactured by TCP. This particular drink has been imported from Thailand and is very different to any Red Bull we might recognise in the West. It’s only very lightly carbonated and the flavour is mostly from blueberry as far as I can tell. Nearly all of the text on the can is in Thai so I’ve had to use Google Lens to translate what I can so apologies if any of the nutritional information is incorrect! A very nice energy drink and a change from the normal varieties we get in the UK / Europe.

This is one of a number of Rockstar drinks for 2025 which are branded with the names of various music festivals around the UK. This flavour for the TRNSMT festival is blueberry and pomegranate – it mostly tastes of blueberry, quite strongly too. I couldn’t taste the pomegranate, but it was extremely sweet and strong in flavour plus packed full of caffeine.

Quite a light flavoured blueberry drink. It’s neither watery nor too strong, a good balance and zero calories too. Blueberry is a good flavour for energy drinks I think because it’s different enough from the regular mixed fruit flavours but doesn’t have the harshness of other berry flavoured drinks.

Since there was no description for the flavour of this drink on the can anywhere, and I assumed that it wouldn’t taste like differently shaped and coloured blocks, I had to resort to the ingredients list. Included flavourings were broccoli and kale… I promise you, this drink does not taste like green stuff. It’s slightly fruity and mild but refreshing. Not a stand-out original flavour, but not bad at all. I think the best thing going for this drink through is the branding. It’s also quite high in caffeine just like most American energy drinks appear to be.
Yeah I liked this one! Nice and fruity in all the right ways. Quite a strong flavour yet despite it getting a bit sickly towards the end it was still perfectly refreshing.
A pretty good pick-me-up with a very subtle blueberry flavour. Quite sweet but not sickly and very easy to drink. Certainly it is better than the standard energy flavoured Battery I remember having a while back.
There’s no official value on the can for caffeine content, hence I’ve guessed it at being as low as possible. This is branded as being a health drink, containing natural pick-me-ups such as guarana, magnesium, vitamin B6 and others. It tastes okay too so far as health-branded drinks go, but that’ll probably be because of all the sugar (not so healthy after all!).
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.

Nice! It tastes like a mixture between raspberry and blueberry, along the lines of most of the other blue coloured energy drinks. It packs quite a punch being high in sugar, caffeine and volume, and being very drinkable goes down quickly too. Smooth and tasty.
