Relentless Lemon Ice

May 11th, 2013

A 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, 2013

It 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.

Monster Rehab Tea + Orangeade

May 4th, 2013

I’m still not convinced on the use of tea as a suitable ingredient in energy drinks. Luckily, the orangeade flavour of this one mostly masks the tea flavour. It’s still there, brewing (see what I did there) at the back somewhere, but the orange-ness is a welcome overtone. Personally though, if you want an orange flavoured energy Monster, get Monster Khaos.

Rockstar Super Sours Bubbleburst

March 23rd, 2013

Hmm… 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, 2013

Rockstar 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!

No Fear Super Charged

October 20th, 2012

Wow. Possibly the biggest buzz I’ve had from an Energy Drink in ages. My tongue went kind of numb and tingly, which I’m sure isn’t a good thing. It tasted pretty good though despite being a bit Red Bull-y… but I’m going to be kind and not stick it in the clone category. I’d recommend this drink only when you plan on not sleeping for a few days. Sadly it doesn’t have the re-sealable can like its regular sibling.

Mountain Dew Sugar Free

August 11th, 2012

Finally, the great flavour of Mountain Dew, without the calories that go with it. Sadly, this is a low calorie version of the UK version of Mountain Dew (dubbed Mountain Dew Energy), but nevertheless it’s nice and refreshing on a hot day. The flavour is identical to Mountain Dew Energy – I couldn’t even tell that they’d used sweeteners instead of sugar, so the flavours they added must be pretty potent.

Crunk Grape-Acai

June 23rd, 2012

I was taken straight back to my childhood when I took a sip of this one. Many years back, on the way to school, we used to buy zillions of packets of some sour ball sweets (can’t remember the name). We’d have daily competitions of who could fit the most in their mouth before gagging… oh the memories. Anyway, this drink reminds me of the sour grape flavoured sweets we had. Might not be the nicest tasting but the memories filled in the gaps! If you can find a can, try it and maybe you’ll take a trip down memory lane too.

Relentless Apple and Kiwi

May 19th, 2012

I don’t generally like the taste of apples, either the real fruit or the synthetic flavouring version…. so I tried this drink with a low opinion already formed. It actually surprised me because I now want to get another can of this. The flavour is light and sweet, but not too sweet. It’s fruity and moreish, and packs quite a punch of wake-up-ness – I really enjoyed this new Relentless variety, and it’s definitely original – there’s nothing out there I can compare it too even if I look through my list of USA drinks… This one is unique to the UK for the moment so go buy it and try it and help it stay on sale!
