Boost Energy Sugar Free Pink Lemonade

February 14th, 2015

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.

Emerge Zero Sugar

January 17th, 2015

I’m not sure if this is just the new name for Emerge Light or not, but it doesn’t taste like a usual clone. It’s sweet and tastes of non-descript synthetic fruits. It’s quite nice but cheap, although it does the job.

Revive & Survive Sugar Free

January 10th, 2015

A nice budget sugar free energy drink. Absolutely nothing special about it, but it was cheap, tasted okay, and does the job of satisfying those energy cravings. Not as sweet as the full fat version, but just right overall.

Monster Ultra Red

November 15th, 2014

This was brought back from the USA by a friend especially for me, so I feel privileged! It’s completely calorie free, yet you couldn’t tell that from the taste. It’s part of a triple Ultra series of Monster Energy drinks which include a White and Blue edition too. This Red edition tastes like a mixture of strawberries and raspberries and is really rather refreshing. It’s certainly worth a go if you can find a can.

Relentless Origin Ultra

November 8th, 2014

Considerably better than Relentless Origin. It doesn’t suffer from that odd brewed taste of its full fat cousin, and is overall much more palatable. It’s still a bit watery, and not the best Relentless in the range, but it is low in calories. Choose this over regular Origin.

Scheckter’s Organic Energy Lite

October 25th, 2014

Smooth yet sharp, much like the full fat version of this drink. It still tastes like it must be good for you, and it even has the organic and Fairtrade logos plastered all over the can. It firmly fits in the tree-hugging category of energy drinks, but if you want something with street cred wid da kidz, stick to the other brands!

Aspire – Apple and Acai

October 4th, 2014

Sharp and sour and really not to my taste. This is another one of those supposedly healthy style energy drinks. I didn’t enjoy it at all to be honest, but if you are the sort of person who is in to juicing then it may appeal to you.

KX Still Red Berry Sugar Free

July 12th, 2014

Very, very watery! I think there’s a reason that most fruity energy drinks are carbonated, and that’s because without those bubbles tingling your nerve endings you just don’t get much flavour out of the drink at all. It’s like a very weak berry flavoured squash. Probably better for drinking if you’re about to do some strenuous exertion of some sorts, but other than that it’s not up to much.

Carrefour Energy Drink Light

June 25th, 2014

It actually tasted quite different to the full-fat version which is not unique, but certainly uncommon. It was a nice, simple clone, with a refreshing and easy to drink flavour. Worth getting if you’re in the neighbourhood.
