Grenade Tropical “Sun of a Beach”

September 7th, 2024

A very interesting take on a tropical energy drink – yes it says it’s tropical flavoured, but it’s coconut! There must be some fruit in there somewhere too but it’s not anything like your typical tropical drink. I’m also slightly concerned by the allergy information saying this may contain crustaceans and fish… it doesn’t taste fishy anyway, how do those accidentally get into an energy drink mix, are they using tropical sea water?!? anyway, it’s a nice and very different tasting drink.

Furocity Champion

March 30th, 2024

It’s a bedazzlingly gold can which sadly doesn’t give off the premium vibe that I think it was trying to go for. Rather, it looks more like the one-off budget brands you pick up in the pound stores which are trying to be shiny and bright to grab your attention. As drinks go, it’s not bad though – a very sweet tropical flavoured one that’s not too sickly even in this 500ml large can.

Raptor Tropical Cherry

December 23rd, 2023

So 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!

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.

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.

Boost Juic’d Mango and Tropical Blitz

June 24th, 2023

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.

Virtue Clean Energy Tropical

May 20th, 2023

Apologies for the delay on this one, I picked up each of the Virtue flavours from Gloucester services, drank them, forgot to make notes, and then completely forgot what they tasted like. I actually found the tropical flavour again in Asda so have tried it out again just to bring you this review! Right then, the tropical flavour is quite sharp, refreshing, but sharp and not smooth. The drink is sweetened with stevia, and uses green coffee bean extract for its caffeine punch. It’s trying to be a responsible brand with an unspecified donation from each can being made to an unspecified “conservation of plants, animals and natural communities in the rainforest”. I’d like to have seen more elaboration and specifics on the can about that but I guess I can go and research!

Emerge: Tangy Tropical

September 24th, 2022

“Hey Bob, how are we going to sell more tropical flavoured energy drinks?”

“Just stick the word ‘tangy’ on the beginning of the name, Dave.”

And thus was born ‘Tangy Tropical’.

Nothing more to say really, it’s a 49p can of sugary tropical flavoured energy drink, disappointingly the same as I remember the non-tangy version of Emerge tasting!

Lucozade Alert Tropical Burst

October 2nd, 2021

I had high hopes for this drink – a new premium brand energy drink for the first time in a while. Sadly though, whilst it was ok to drink, it wasn’t anything special at all. It was basically the same as any other bargain shop can of tropical flavoured energy drink, only at premium prices. Flavour-wise it was strong and artificial, and quite sickly after a while. Like the cherry flavour, this would have benefited from being sold as a smaller 250ml can.
