Vimto Energy Zero
January 13th, 2024Exactly the same as the regular full fat Vimto Energy only low in calories. Honestly, I couldn’t tell the difference, there was no strange aftertaste or ‘chewyness’ that you get sometimes with the sugar free variants. If you have the choice then you might as well go for this zero version.

Raptor Citrus
January 6th, 2024I love lemon energy drinks, and this one despite being generically named ‘citrus’ is pretty lemony. It’s refreshing and smooth, really nice. It has just the right balance of sweetness and sharpness and is low calorie too.

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.

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.

Dark Thunder Ultra Berry
November 25th, 2023I’m wondering if this ‘ultra berry’ flavour replaces the ‘berry boost’ variety? It’s been so long since I tried berry boost that I can’t remember quite what it was like. I described it in my review as ‘like a mixture of strawberry and raspberry’, so perhaps Ultra Berry is a very different flavour. It’s more like a mixed berry, but on the sweet and summery side – I got blackcurrant in there, maybe some cherry and raspberry too.

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.
