3D Citrus Mist

September 9th, 2023

I found this being sold at what looked like an American import pop-up shop in Cardiff and grabbed both flavours on offer. However, on closer inspection of the can whilst this is an American brand, it’s actually made in the UK for distribution here! It looks like the flavours available here in the UK are a little different to those in the US – this one is called Citrus Mist but according to their web site it’s called Citrus Dew in the US. Anyway, it’s really nice! A gentle and very refreshing lemon flavour in a large can, and it doesn’t tire the senses by getting too sickly. The balance of quantity and flavour is perfect and they’ve managed to create one of my favourite energy drinks in a while. It’s really in contrast to the strong, punchy and sickly flavours of the Prime Energy drinks that I’m also trying at the moment!

Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy Tropical

September 2nd, 2023

It’s just a tropical flavoured energy drink, nothing fancier than that really I’m sorry to say. I drank it, it was quite highly caffeinated, I enjoyed it, but it doesn’t stand out much.

Prime Energy Drink Blue Raspberry

August 26th, 2023

This surprised me. I was expecting a super-strong-kick-me-in-the-face-flavour like the other Prime Energy drinks, however the blue raspberry, whilst very sweet and sickly, wasn’t massively strong. It’s not quite as refreshing as I’d hoped, but it’s nice and tastes just like most other blue raspberry drinks really.

Prime Energy Drink Orange Mango

August 12th, 2023

Once again Prime Energy like the stronger flavours in their drinks. This is a super-sweet orange flavoured drink, I didn’t really detect much mango in there but possibly it’s being lost in the overall strength of the drink’s powerful flavour. I found it quite sickly to drink personally, and not that refreshing. The can design and branding is premium though with the glossy black top and bold colouring.

Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy Pink Lemonade

August 5th, 2023

I think they’ve flavoured it with strawberry, difficult to tell but it’s really nice whatever it is. Low calorie but when served ice cold it’s very refreshing and a perfect drink for the summer.

Virtue Clean Energy Berries

July 29th, 2023

Really sharp, bitter and healthy tasting… not exactly what I look for personally in an energy drink. If you drink it super cold straight from the fridge then it’s acceptable but as it warms up it leaves a bit of a strange aftertaste. Not to my liking really.

Nutramino Heat – Orange

July 15th, 2023

Yes, orange… nothing else even slightly coming through here. It’s a synthetic orange flavour, a bit like Lucozade but less watered down. I need to repeat my warning with this brand though – assume this innocent looking 330ml can is really the equivalent of about 600ml of Red Bull in terms of caffeine. Don’t go downing it too quickly or having extra cans later that day because it will give you a decent kick for several hours!

Protein Dynamix Tropical

July 8th, 2023

Much like the mixed berry flavour of this drink, it’s quite sharp and bitter. If you like that sort of thing then you will like this drink! It’s a strong flavour too, not too watery, so you get a real tang on your tongue from it.

Protein Dynamix Mixed Berry

July 1st, 2023

It’s a nice looking can, matt silver with a nice simple design. But, it’s a quite bitter and strong flavoured drink that’s like a strong mixed berry squash.
