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.

V Sugar Free

August 2nd, 2014

Just as I remember the full fat V energy drink, this sugar free one is also on the right side of sweet and sharp. Being a guarana based drink, I am still assuming that this is where the bulk of the flavouring comes from – and as I’m now writing this review having tasted Guarana Antarctica I can say that there are certainly similarities between them.

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.

Effect Zero

May 28th, 2014

Really not as nice as the full fat version. You’d usually expect there to be a similarity but in this case it’s pretty much a different flavour of energy drink. Much more bitter tasting and quite cheap tasting despite the premium price and ‘high quality’ blurb splashed over the front of the can.

Evolve Sugar Free

May 10th, 2014

I’m not sure if this is related to the other Evolve (full fat version) I tasted a while back, but it’s not how I remember it! This Evolve Sugar Free drink is a clone, but it’s very nice. Not metallic at all as I remember the other one being. I’d highly recommend you try it if you can find it.
