Heavy Water
October 12th, 2013A black can with white designed writing on gives this drink a premium look. It is, however, just another Red Bull clone although a nice one at that. It has a smooth flavour not too dissimilar to Red Bull, contains the same amount of caffeine, and even comes from Austria. Sadly, it was priced the same as Red Bull – and given the choice, I’d go for the original!

Bullit
September 25th, 2013Very cheap and widely available in Amsterdam – this tastes pretty good. It is a Red Bull clone, but it’s neither too sweet, too sickly, or too sour. I enjoyed it a lot and consider it nice enough to try again especially as it’s a lot cheaper than Red Bull itself. I would tell you more, but I’m afraid I couldn’t read the Dutch blurb on the can – so I’ll just leave you to try it for yourselves.

Blue Bastard
September 18th, 2013This drink is all about the name. You take a standard Red Bull clone, wrap it with an awesome name, and you have a winning product! The taste is what you’d expect from any clone: sweet, sickly, and certainly not refreshing. It gives you a kick, and you can show off the can to your mates. It was reasonably priced too as I could purchase three of these to one Red Bull. The originality rating is boosted due to branding and not for the taste.
Evolve
September 14th, 2013Too sweet, metallic tasting, and leaves a nasty taste in the mouth. I can’t recommend this brand unfortunately – it’s just a bad Red Bull clone and as it’s supplied in a large can, there’s also a lot of it to get through. Too sickly to be enjoyable.
Inca (Createam Promotion)
September 7th, 2013You won’t find this drink with this label in any shops. It was a promotional can which was produced by the marketing agency CreateamPromotion. You can effectively package a can of energy drink in any label you like, so you may come across cans of this energy drink with a different label. The flavour was a cloned Red Bull, but with a slightly burnt caramel taste poking through.

Revive & Survive
July 24th, 2013A large silver can with writing on, screaming out at me as a budget drink. Yup, it’s another clone but a very sweet one. This one was so sweet it made my teeth feel fluffy which can’t be a good sign. Taste-wise I’d buy it again but I don’t think it’s that good for you!

Carrefour Taurine Light Force
June 22nd, 2013Is it called Psychik, or is is called Taurine Light Force? I don’t know.. but I do know that this is a very good Red Bull clone. Nice and sweet getting the balance just right especially as this is a supermarket own brand. Sadly though, it’s a supermarket own brand in France so unless you live over that way, you’ll either have to take my word for it or find yourself a French-based contact to send you one.

Guarana Force
April 17th, 2013I’d never seen this one before at all so was quite keen to sample its French delights. It has a very low caffeine content as energy drinks go, comparable to Mountain Dew Energy in the UK so I wasn’t expecting much of a kick. It is a Red Bull Clone, but on the sweet side and very watered down making it quite a light tasting drink. I’d recommend it as an energy drink for later in the day when you don’t want a full wake-up, but just have a hankering for the taste.
