It’s Time Energy Orange + Lemon

January 28th, 2023

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.

Monster Energy Lewis Hamilton Zero Sugar

December 10th, 2022

A new Monster drink! I was quite excited to try this one as the description on the can said it was flavoured with ‘stone fruits’ but sadly the excitement was short lived… it tastes like a tropical energy drink, possibly passion fruit too. I was expecting peach or cherry flavour, but nope, not that I could detect. Still, it’s a perfectly drinkable energy drink, just nothing original.

Sparkling Ice + Caffeine: Apple Raspberry

September 3rd, 2022

Another excellent variety from the Sparkling Ice+Caffeine range (three-for-a-pound don’t you know!). Refreshing, not too strong in flavour but certainly not watery. I’d say the raspberry is the dominant flavour here rather than the apple.

Sparkling Ice + Caffeine: Citrus Twist

August 27th, 2022

Brilliantly refreshing and just the right balance of flavour and sweetness. I could drink loads of this, and even though it’s not that caffeinated I’m going to give it top marks for taste and originality.

Sparkling Ice + Caffeine: Mixed Berry

August 20th, 2022

Normally when I see a flavoured water style energy drink I expect quite a watered down experience with not much flavour. Maybe it was because it was the hottest day so far of 2022 when I tried this, but I found it to be a perfect balance of flavour, sweetness and refreshingness (is that a word??).

Reign: Peach Fizz

July 23rd, 2022

Sorry Reign / Coca-Cola (who own this brand…), I’m not a fan of peach. Yes, therefore, I’m biased here with this review… I didn’t like it. Peach is just too tart to use in a drink in my opinion. If you’re going to grab a can of Reign, go for one of the many other flavours instead and you’ll (probably) avoid disappointment.

Grenade Energy Cherry Bomb

June 18th, 2022

Usually when I review a cherry flavoured energy drink I declare that it tastes like one of those sherbet double-dip sweet’s cherry flavoured powder, but not this time! It’s quite a different take on the cherry flavouring I’m used to. Don’t get me wrong, it is still recognisably cherry but it’s tangy probably more grown-up. I may even actually prefer it to the ultra synthetic cherry drinks I usually find.

Relentless Zero Sugar Raspberry

June 11th, 2022

Amazing! There we go, review over 🙂 Super-refreshing and really nice, not too sweet, but perfectly fruity. A large, low-calorie energy drink from one of the premium brands, this is possibly one of my favourites of theirs (nothing is likely to ever beat their lemon flavour!).

Grenade Energy Berried Alive

June 4th, 2022

This drink has quite a strong flavour to it, like a strongly mixed summer fruits squash drink. There’s a very slight bitterness to it if you pay close attention to your tastebuds, like there might be pomegranate juice in there too, but mostly it’s a mixture of blackcurrant and other sweet berries (I’d like to say raspberry too, but I’m just guessing as there’s no specific clue on the can or stand-out taste). Watch out for the caffeine content, it’s very high!
