Amp Energy Lightning
July 17th, 2013If you’ve tried Rockstar Recovery then you’ll find Amp Energy Lightning quite similar. It’s obviously tuned a lot more to the American market being sweeter, more syrupy, and stronger in flavour, but it’s a still drink with a lot of energy to give. I like this a lot and it’s my favourite of all the Amp Energy range.

Rip It – 3-Way
July 13th, 2013Putting the name aside, I’ll try to review the drink on its own merits! Looking at the picture on the front of the can I’m lead to believe that the three fruits involved in this drink are strawberry, blueberry and blackberry. It does taste quite nice mixing those together, but the overall effect is to make it taste like it should have been frozen and served in a long plastic tube on a hot summer’s day. Colour-wise it’s the same, with Rip It seemingly taking inspiration from Mountain Dew in their use of bright colourants in their drinks. 3-way is a bright blue! It’s not the best in the range, but it certainly gets high marks.

Pit Bull Cherry and Lime
July 3rd, 2013I’m really not convinced on the combination of cherry and lime in this drink. The cherry flavour comes through, but it someone severely soured by the lime making it quite a bitter experience. Having tried the original Pit Bull, I could sense a theme as the underlying taste of the original was evident in this drink too, however I don’think it works as a mixer with other ingredients. Still, there are other Pit Bull cocktails to try and they could turn out to be wonderful so I shall withhold my judgement on this brand until then. Personally, I won’t be trying this again because there are many more nicer tasting drinks out there.

No Fear: Motherload Apple
June 1st, 2013Labelled as The Mother Load in a resealable can, this is just another fizzy apple squash tasting drink. It’s not a different as the Rockstar sour apple, but it’s palatable and packs quite a punch in the energy department. Apple is the new tropical – once one manufacturer does it the others follow suite so I expect to see many more apple flavoured energy drinks appear over the next few months.

Relentless Lemon Ice
May 11th, 2013A really smooth a refreshing lemon drink. Not too sharp or sweet but just right. It’s like the posh cloudy lemonade you can buy in posh supermarkets… Nothing at all like the brewed tasting original Relentless flavour. It does have quite a kick to it, possibly because it is so smooth and moreish that you drink it very quickly.

Monster Rehab Green Tea
May 8th, 2013It tastes like tea. I don’t like tea therefore I don’t like this drink – but I had to try it because it exists! There’s some fruit juice in there too, but you can’t taste it – you just get an overwhelming taste of tea.

Rockstar Xdurance Tropical Orange
April 27th, 2013Bleurgh, another tropical drink. As expected, it’s sharp and sickly. Sorry Rockstar, I don’t like it.
Rockstar Super Sours Bubbleburst
March 23rd, 2013Hmm… I was concerned that it would taste like those cheap tubs of bright blue ‘drink’ you get from corner shops everywhere, and I wasn’t far wrong. It tastes of bubblegum, and is not very sour either which was disappointing. Having said that, I did enjoy it though! Given the name ‘super sour’, both this and the green apple flavour are far too tame in my opinion. Rockstar should have gone all out and made them proper sour so as your lips and gums peel back over your teeth. Then I’d have been really impressed.

Rockstar Super Sours Green Apple
March 16th, 2013Rockstar does it again with their original ideas. Whilst not particularly sour, it is reminiscent of the apple sour sweets you used to get when you were a child but much more palatable. I was concerned that a sour drink would be more suited to a smaller can but I was wrong – this drink was moreish and refreshing. Top marks all around!
