Rockstar Refresh Watermelon Kiwi
December 30th, 2023As drinks go, this is quite a smooth but generally bland energy drink. It’s refreshing and inoffensive but it just doesn’t stand out. The most unusual thing about the drink is the colouring of the can. The pink inside the Rockstar star actually looks like someone left the can out in the sun and bleached a red star to pink.

Raptor Tropical Cherry
December 23rd, 2023So this is what it tastes like when you mix a tropical drink with a cherry one. Tropical cherry. It’s certainly unique that’s for sure. I’m not sure if I actually like it or not, I mean, I don’t hate it, it’s just an assault on the senses is all, not what I’m expecting on my taste buds! You have the tartness from the tropical, plus the sherbettyness (new word, officially) from the artificial cherry flavouring. The name Raptor I’m assuming is referring to the Velociraptor dinosaur and not the birds of prey… and I’m basing that off the picture on the can!

Prime Energy Strawberry Watermelon
December 9th, 2023I couldn’t taste the watermelon, but I could taste the strawberry. Do you know what? This is basically pink lemonade, like you get in the Irish supermarkets, but obviously with a massive caffeine hit. It’s nice and refreshing, just like pink lemonade is.

Prime Energy Ice Pop
November 18th, 2023It tastes exactly like the non-caffeinated version – mostly like sugary sweet cherry fizzy stuff. Maybe there’s other flavours in there too apart from cherry, like if you took a bag of Haribo, melted it down and tried to drink the mix of sugary random fruity fizzy gunk. It’s nice, not that refreshing given its overpowering sweetness, but certainly original.

Dark Thunder Ultra Violet
November 11th, 2023A really nice and smooth grape-flavoured energy drink. It’s lower in caffeine than many other large-can drinks, which I think is no bad thing really. You get to enjoy the drink for longer without getting too jittery by the end! The flavour isn’t too strong, but very smooth as I said and no bitterness at all. A great addition to Aldi’s line of Monster-wannabee drinks.

Applied Nutrition BCAA Amino-Hydrate – Orange Burst
November 4th, 2023Just a typical orange flavoured energy drink, nothing special and certainly it doesn’t stand out like the cloudy lemonade flavour. Mild and a bit boring really 🙁

Applied Nutrition BCAA Amino-Hydrate – Cloudy Lemonade
October 28th, 2023Yup, it’s cloudy lemonade. There’s a slight craggy aftertaste from the sweeteners but apart from that it’s a nice classic lemonade flavour. Slightly tangy taste, on the bitter rather than sweet side but nice and unique.

Virtue Yerba Mate Peach and Raspberry
September 30th, 2023Virtue. Clean energy. Healthy sounding. Healthy tasting. I think the peach is a bit too sharp to be nice personally, and they needed to ramp up the sweetness from the raspberry a bit I didn’t particularly enjoy this variety of Virtue due to that, but maybe it has its fans somewhere? It of course contains Yerba Mate (clue is in the name) which is a form of herbal tea from a South American plant related to holly according to Wikipedia! This is where the caffeine component of the drink comes from.
3D Candy Punch
September 23rd, 2023Cherry! In fact I drank this can the day after I tried Prime Energy Tropical and I’d have to say it’s exactly the same flavour. It’s a sweet and strong synthetic cherry flavoured drink. There’s a lot of it, and I chilled it again half-way through just to keep it at optimal drinking temperature, but I enjoyed it.
