Battery Twisted
September 24th, 2016It’s a massive tropical drink and is so much nicer than its plain ‘Battery’ companion. It’s still just a generic drink though with not much going for it. If it had been purchased in the UK it’d probably have cost about 99p max, but as it came from Norway it was closer to £3.
Battery
September 17th, 2016Sadly 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.
Monster Punch Mixxd
September 3rd, 2016Take a berry drink and mix it with a tropical drink and you end up with this. It’s an odd blend but somehow works. A large can and full of sugar but nice to drink.

Relentless Passion Punch
July 2nd, 2016The can design is one of the boldest on the shelves and certainly doesn’t put you in mind for the flavour it contains. Passion Punch is mostly tropical, but on the sweet and smooth side of your taste buds. As usual, a 500ml can full of sugar is hard going (think fluffy teeth after drinking this!) but it’s not too sickly.

Rockstar Freeze Pineapple and Coconut
June 11th, 2016I thought this was going to be pretty awful, but it wasn’t quite as bad as I had suspected! The pineapple flavour is subtle, as is the coconut. They’re both there and you can distinctly taste them, but there’s a cool refreshing and sweet drink to be had here. A large can makes it quite sickly, but that might be due to the high sugar content. It’s certainly worth trying once and full marks for originality.
Relentless Zero
May 28th, 2016Relentless energy drinks have had a bit of a design overhaul recently. Gone is the gothic-style line art graphics on the can, and in are loud and bold colours. With that rebranding has come the new Relentless Zero, which is effectively a renamed version of their awkwardly named Relentless Origin Ultra (maybe because it’s easier to understand a ‘zero’ drink will be low calories instead of the wholly non-descriptive ‘ultra’ moniker they used previously. The drink is the same as before so far as I can tell – slightly watery but no strange brewed taste.

Rockstar Pure Zero Guava
May 21st, 2016A fruity and almost tropical tasting drink with zero* (read that as 4kcal/100ml) calories. It’s nice but pretty sickly even when straight out of the fridge. At the time of writing this, Rockstar Energy still haven’t acknowledged any of their Pure Zero products on their UK web site, but if you look at the international US version you can get a taste of other flavours they may be releasing under this label.

NOCCO BCAA – Julmust
April 9th, 2016This is officially the first Christmas themed energy drink that I’ve ever seen. It’s really high in caffeine and it has those strange BCAA protein thingies in too. And how does it taste? Well, it took a few opinions to narrow this down, but I reckon it’s Christmas Pudding flavour. It smells a lot worse than it tastes, but it does taste pretty awful. I can’t see Christmas Pudding as a drink flavouring (energy or otherwise) ever taking off to the mass market!

Monster Energy Ultra
March 12th, 2016This is a strange one, it’s citrusy and smooth, yet quite sickly. But, it was low calorie so that’s a bonus. I did really enjoy it overall and would have it again if I ever see it. Definitely not like the usual Monster drinks.
