Bullit Orange

October 9th, 2013

I’m guessing, given the clue in the name, that this drink was supposed to be orange flavoured. It definitely had a citrus taste to it, but it was more akin to a tropical drink than orange to be honest. I also didn’t get that much of a kick from it despite the regular 30mg/100ml of caffeine in the huge 568ml can. Nah, I’ll not bother with this one again.

Mega Force

October 5th, 2013

Big name, big can. This is a Red Bull clone. It’s sweet, nice, and there’s lots of it. Other than that, there’s not a lot more I can say. I always feel bad when I can’t think of anything else to write about a drink, especially when I like it, but there we go – it’s not original but functional.

Evolve

September 14th, 2013

Too 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.

Rip It – Citrus X Sugar Free

August 24th, 2013

As with the full-fat version, I wasn’t too impressed with this drink. The sharp orange taste is just too overpowering. There are many other flavours in the Rip It range, so spend your money on those instead.

Rip It – Power Sugar Free

August 21st, 2013

I was a little disappointed I have to say. Whereas most energy drinks in my opinion taste better in their sugar-free versions, Rip It have made their full-fat versions so nice that the sugar-free ones fail to equal the taste. It was nice, but not as nice as the normal version so I’d suggest you go for that one instead. Aside from that, it’s the same unique flavour as Rip It Power which you can’t get anywhere else.

Pit Bull Pomegranate and Blueberry

August 17th, 2013

Well, it was okay I suppose. To be honest though it was a bit middle-of-the-road. I didn’t hate it – it had no bitterness, no nasty aftertaste. On the other hand it wasn’t fantastic either, it was a bit sweet, fruity, and had an okay caffeine kick, but the flavour just didn’t jump out at me as being amazing or anything special.

Rip It – A’tomic Pom

August 10th, 2013

“Tonight make it magnificent, Tonight, Make me tonight, Your hair is beautiful, Oh, tonight, Atomic”. As soon as I saw the can, I couldn’t get Blondie’s song out of my head. The drink, however was not to my taste. That isn’t to say it was awful, because I drank the whole can, but I prefer sweeter flavours and this was a bit too ‘tart’ tasting for me. As pomegranate drinks go it wasn’t as bitter as most can be which is probably why I could manage the whole thing, but the flavour is still there behind the sugar.

Pit Bull Cranberry and Pink Grapefruit

August 7th, 2013

What I like about trying different energy drinks are the moments when a flavour sends me back in time. Pit Bull Cranberry and Pink Grapefruit has answered a question I’ve had for many years – When I was 18 and discovered alcohol, there existed a drink known as Red. This was a caffeinated alcopop popular with students around the country at that time with an unknown fruity flavour. For me and my friends this drink was the tipple of choice on many weekends, but we never did find out what the ‘fruit’ flavour of Red was. Well, now I think I have the answer because this particular Pit Bull tastes how I remember Red tasting. It’s a good combination without any bitterness of the other Pit Bull drinks I’ve tried and I’m finally impressed with flavoured Pit Bull.

Revive & Survive

July 24th, 2013

A 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!
