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.

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!

Amp Energy Lightning

July 17th, 2013

If 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, 2013

Putting 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, 2013

I’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, 2013

Labelled 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.
