A very nice lemon and lime flavoured energy drink. Quite often with the lemon/lime flavours, they taste like someone has used way too much cordial. But, this one is balanced just right. This is the first ESTAR drink I’ve discovered and looking at their web site they seem to have many flavour varieties. If I come across any others I’ll be sure to grab and review them quickly.

A nice and refreshing lemonade drink. It’s tangy, along the same sort of flavour as Fanta Lemon by way of comparison, but with an obvious caffeine kick.
Honestly, I had to look up this drink on their web site in order to find out what flavour ‘Ice’ is. It turns out that it’s Grapefruit and Lemon, so it’s no wonder I couldn’t guess the combination. (Note: I’ve realised that the can actually mentions this too, I should have looked more closely!) It’s tangy and fresh, quite nice, but very sweet. The can also has the lift and slide style re-sealable can which is tricky to use.

A complete winner. Zero calories and a fresh citrus taste. It’s not as harsh as lemon, and not too sweet. A very smooth and refreshing drink which packs a decent caffeine kick. Definitely one for sporty energy drink drinkers.

It tastes nice, but it’s basically diabetes in a can. According to the web site it “delivers higher levels of energy than current market leaders.” which is technically correct – it packs a whopping 62 kcal per 100ml which at least rivals Lucozade, but delivering it in a 250ml can and comparing it to other similar products it really does pack a lot more energy in the form of sugar I’m guessing from looking at the carb content.

I found this drink in Carrefour in Spain, complete with a UK price marked can and Spanish nutrition stickers. It was quite nice, but a bit too sweet if comparing it to other lemon/lime energy drinks. I’d place it somewhere in the middle, but Relentless probably has the lead at the moment in the citrus drinks league table. But having said that, it was perfectly adequate overall.

This drink reminds me of holidays in Ireland. Pink lemonade is everywhere there, and this particular variant is really nice and refreshing. Drink it as cold as possible though – even slightly warm and it starts to get sickly.

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.

Wow! This makes a change to the usually watery tasting Lucozade Energy products. The taste of lemon is sweet, strong, tangy and refreshing making this possibly the best tasting Lucozade in the range. The lemon flavour is similar to the taste of a traditional lemonade – possibly on the synthetic side, but pretty much nailing an ideal balance. Strength-wise, most of the kick in this drink comes from the sugar, as you can see from the very high calorie content but low caffeine content. This does mean that you may end up with a head-ache and feeling a bit groggy a few hours later but I reckon it’s worth the downer for the occasional treat…
