Battery

September 17th, 2016

Sadly this is just a massive can of generic tasting energy drink. It’s sweet and slightly bitter, and quite difficult to finish because of that. Gives you a big sugar punch but that’s all.

Oxxo

June 18th, 2016

Nope, it doesn’t taste like gravy and it isn’t thick and brown. It’s just a cheapo tasting clone with a bitter tang to it. Drinkable, but quite definitely budget.

Rush

February 13th, 2016

Apparently this can design is the winner of the can design awards. It’s okay I guess, but I wish they’d spent a little more effort on the contents. It’s nice, but just another sweet clone.

Gumball 3000 +Battery

January 23rd, 2016

I have a feeling that this is a limited edition drink for promotional purposes – the can is advertising a Gumball 3000 competition to win concert tickets, gadgets and rally tickets, and the promotion ended many months before I managed to get hold of this can. The drink itself is a regular clone, quite watery and bland but refreshing. The gold-on-black can design is quite neat though, and a 330ml can size meant that I didn’t immediately recognise it as an energy drink on the shelf.

LSV Zero

December 19th, 2015

It’s just another sugar free energy drink clone jumping on the ‘zero’ bandwagon, sorry to say. Sitting at a decently cheap price amongst the budget brands, it’s not bad at all and certainly worth a try if you find a can.

Tornado: Storm

December 12th, 2015

It’s  large can of ordinary. Tornado Storm is just a clone-style energy drink, and tastes exactly like many other budget drinks out there. It’s sweet, not sour, and quite sickly.

Epic Energy

October 3rd, 2015

It took me ages to open this can, and I had to use a screwdriver in the end. The re-sealable opening on the can is way too difficult to open, at least it was on the can that I purchased anyway. The branding on the can is premium quality, with a matt effect label, and the drink itself is okay (a clone) but nothing special. Very sweet, but let down by the daft and fiddly opening.

Gangster

September 5th, 2015

Interesting branding… it’s clearly a cheap clone, and it tastes watery but very sweet by comparison to others, but the brushed silver can with black detailing does give it a premium look. I have to say though that the name ‘Gangster’ is unlikely to ever become a mainstream brand!

Fist

August 15th, 2015

There’s not a lot I can say about this really, it’s a clone, it’s a large can, it’s sweet, it’s middle-of-the-road and nothing special other than the FIST on the front of the can. Full marks for an interesting brand name and can design.
