Regular readers will know that I’m not a fan of apple flavoured drinks. Even combined with melon didn’t improve it for me. It wasn’t too strong or artificial though, but be warned that this drink packs a punch in terms of caffeine. Not only does it have a high 55mg/100ml content, it’s also a slightly larger can than normal at 330ml which means there’s 181.5mg of caffeine in this can compared to the 80mg in a regular 250ml can. So be careful, assume you are drinking more than two cans when you consume this!

I’ve tagged this as a clone, but it’s sort of not. Whilst there is that expected taste that’s very similar to Krating Dung (if you remember that one), it’s a nice energy drink that’s very fruity and sweet. Considering this is a low calorie drink you’d struggle to know that as it tastes like it’s packed full of sugar.

The second Braw flavour I’ve discovered. Like the Blue Raspberry one, the can is glossy black with a paper label stuck to it – quite smart but unusual. Flavour-wise it doesn’t kick you in the face, but the artificial cherry is quite nice and balanced just right. A pretty good drink for the budget price I paid (89p I think).

Apologies for the delay on this one, I picked up each of the Virtue flavours from Gloucester services, drank them, forgot to make notes, and then completely forgot what they tasted like. I actually found the tropical flavour again in Asda so have tried it out again just to bring you this review! Right then, the tropical flavour is quite sharp, refreshing, but sharp and not smooth. The drink is sweetened with stevia, and uses green coffee bean extract for its caffeine punch. It’s trying to be a responsible brand with an unspecified donation from each can being made to an unspecified “conservation of plants, animals and natural communities in the rainforest”. I’d like to have seen more elaboration and specifics on the can about that but I guess I can go and research!

First there was Prime, the expensive coconut water drink prized by every 12-year-old in the country. Now there’s Prime Energy Drink and it’s less in demand mainly because the shops won’t sell it to them 🙂 I love lemon and lime drinks, so I thought I’d start by trying the Lemon Lime Prime Energy. It’s a very strong flavour, no watering this down at all. That does make it quite sickly to drink sadly and extremely sweet despite the lack of sugar in it. It’s an ok energy drink packing plenty of caffeine, and the branding is certainly premium. At £2 per can it’s priced as a premium drink of course, but I have paid a lot more for considerably worse tasting drinks! Bingo bingo…

I know that strawberry and lime is a popular combination now, but I’m not sure I get it. I love lime. I love strawberry. But, together? It’s not unpleasant but you end up with it tasting of neither, just a mush of strawberry lime hints in a general fruity drink. Look, the drink is ok, it’s refreshing, but I’m just not sure that strawberry and lime is up there with the killer combos of tomato and basil, or chocolate and orange. Not that you’d want either of those from an energy drink of course.

It’s not a stand-out amazing drink, but as orange flavoured energy drinks go it’s quite smooth and refreshing. More of a orangey citrus drink really, but quite easy to drink. Not as nice as the Frozen Bombsicle variety but I won’t turn my nose up at it!

I don’t know where to place this really. It doesn’t stand out as something special, but I can’t quite figure out the fruits involved either! The can talks about grapefruit, but I’m getting berries, maybe strawberry and other mixed red berries. It’s ok, maybe a bit of a summer drink, but not that refreshing really.

Considerably better tasting than the red berry original but still very sour. The citrus flavour from the orange and lemon is considerably more palatable making this drink slightly more refreshing as you make your way through the 330ml can. Don’t forget that this is still very high in caffeine just like the original, at 61mg/100ml. It’s also still sugar free, and packs the same ingredients mixture as the original too.
