Grenade Tropical “Sun of a Beach”

September 7th, 2024

A very interesting take on a tropical energy drink – yes it says it’s tropical flavoured, but it’s coconut! There must be some fruit in there somewhere too but it’s not anything like your typical tropical drink. I’m also slightly concerned by the allergy information saying this may contain crustaceans and fish… it doesn’t taste fishy anyway, how do those accidentally get into an energy drink mix, are they using tropical sea water?!? anyway, it’s a nice and very different tasting drink.

C4 Millions Bubblegum

August 17th, 2024

much stronger flavour than the strawberry version, this is punchy and recognisably bubblegum flavoured, so much so that you could almost chew it 🙂 Because it’s a large can, there’s a lot of drink to get through though so it does become sickly after a while. Still, quite original and exactly what it says it’s supposed to be.

C4 Millions Strawberry

August 10th, 2024

It does actually taste like Millions sweets! I think this flavour is basically what you’d get if you soaked strawberry Millions in water for a few ays and drained off the results. It’s not as strong in flavour as the actual sweets themselves, it’s quite watered down tasting, but the flavour is very recognisable and really nice.

Body Fuel Orange

July 27th, 2024

I bog standard regular orange flavoured drink. You couldn’t even tell that it’s an energy drink to be honest, it just tastes like a slightly fizzy orange squash. It tastes ok, but it’s not a premium product really

Prime Energy Original

July 20th, 2024

An unspecified ‘original’ flavour in a white can which is reminiscent of Monster Ultra, which is also sold in a white can! This drink has a sweet citrus flavour, also very similar to Monster Ultra. It’s sugar-free which is great, and packs quite a caffeine punch especially as it’s a larger than normal 330ml can. A nice drink if you find it at a decent price, but drink it chilled as it becomes a bit sickly once it starts to warm up.

Virtue Clean Energy Orange

July 6th, 2024

Another orange energy drink for 2024. This time it’s a lot more ‘healthy’ tasting, and by that I mean it’s a bit sharp and tangy, in my mind I’d call the flavour ‘bare’! It’s sweet, but not overly, and certainly tastes more like a raw fruit flavour than a sugar-laden cordial.

Let’s Get Ready To Rumble Sugar Free

June 15th, 2024

In a surprise twist the sugar free version of this drink tastes totally different to the full fat version! It’s still quite watery, but instead of the tangy caramel, it’s a more subtle fruity flavour. Sweet, but no dodgy aftertaste and very drinkable.

Alani Nu Cosmic Stardust

May 25th, 2024

You’ve got to love the marketing people for not actually telling you what the drink flavours really are… Cosmic Stardust???? Nope, it’s grape flavour! I do love grape soda so for me this is lovely, but I know a lot of people find grape drinks too sickly which I get. Anyway, loads of caffeine in this one, no sugar, so a decent fake-energy kick without as much tooth-rot 🙂

Reign: Mang-o-Matic

May 11th, 2024

It’s the “health” brand of Monster back again with a new tropical-style drink flavoured with mango. Yeah, it’s a large can, tastes of mango, gives you a big hit of caffeine. Sadly nothing more special than that though – a premium prices tropical energy drink.
