Another Thai energy drink but this time made in the UK – Carabao Mango Burst is full of flavour. It’s strong and tangy but sweet, very fruity and easy to drink. I’ve noticed that one of the ingredients is “burnt sugar caramel” and I’m not sure if that’s for colour, taste or both. It’s not sugar-free but it is reasonably low in calories at 49 per can and I think Carabao have managed a good compromise in this drink in terms of sugar content, fruit flavour and sweetness.
As I write this review it’s one of the warmest days of the year so far and a tropical flavoured drink goes down very nicely on a day like today. This drink is not too sickly and nicely sugar-free, but it is quite heavy on the caffeine so packs a decent punch of wake-up-ness.

A reasonably decent tropical drink branded with the Dragons’ Den star’s now iconic name! Apart from the branding, there isn’t too much that stands out about the product. It was a good price for a large can and contained real fruit juice too which I guess is a bonus.
A tangy and sharp tasting tropical energy drink. Nothing particularly special but it packs a punch in terms of flavour and a decent hit of caffeine too.
Much better than Raspberry Mint! This is however just a regular tropical tasting energy drink so what you sacrifice in originality you gain in being drinkable! It’s sweet and tasty and a reasonably sized 330ml can.
It’s the “health” brand of Monster back again with a new tropical-style drink flavoured with mango. Yeah, it’s a large can, tastes of mango, gives you a big hit of caffeine. Sadly nothing more special than that though – a premium prices tropical energy drink.

Well, it’s not so much orange as mango, or tropical really. It’s a large can of tropical energy drink. Quite smooth and refreshing but other than the funky dinosaur can design there isn’t much that make this drink stand out.

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.

The two best features of this drink are the price (£1) and the name. Boost Juic’d. I can forgive the pointless apostrophe because of the way the name rolls off the tongue. Boostjoooooced. It is just a fancily branded sugar-laden tropical energy drink though. Ok in its way, but it is just a tropical flavoured drink.
