Tornado: Active

January 2nd, 2016

It’s an average tropical energy drink. Very sweet and sticks to the teeth but other that that I can’t say it’s very special at all.

Red Bull – The Tropical Edition (2015)

August 22nd, 2015

Red Bull have managed to tame the tropical flavour in their own special way. It’s just right! Sweet, but not overly, and definitely no nasty aftertaste. If you must go for a tropical energy drink, then you can’t go wrong with this one.

Boost Energy – Exotic Fruits

June 27th, 2015

If you’re going for a bottle of energy drink, then you’re probably better off going for this than Lucozade. It’s less sickly and pumped with a lot more caffeine. I’d classify it as a tropical drink, but on the milder and sweeter side.

Mixxed Up: Tropical

Just another tropical drink. It’s sweet and goes down easily, no tart aftertaste or anything, but quite bland overall.

Boost Energy Orange and Mango

October 18th, 2014

It’s a middle of the road tropical drink. I managed to drink the whole can, so that means it wasn’t too sour or sharp. It was, however, very sickly, and a large 500ml can like this was far too much in one go.

Lucozade Energy Mango Mandarin (The Brazilian)

August 16th, 2014

Too high in sugar, too low in caffeine, and much too tropical for my liking. It’s sharp and tart in flavour, mostly taking its flavour from pineapple from what I can tell. It’s Lucozade’s World Cup 2014 special edition and apparently “it’s like a carnival in your mouth”. Hmm.

Take Off – Tropical

June 7th, 2014

Horrid horrid horrid horrid. Sharp, sour, nasty. Sorry, but this drink is a prime example of my dislike of tropical flavoured energy drinks. I’d just started to enjoy some of the more recent tropical discoveries which are generally sweeter, but this one is down at the bottom of the pile I’m afraid. It came in a slightly larger can that normal energy drinks, but that just made things worse to be honest.

Rockstar Juiced – Mango, Orange, Passion Fruit

April 12th, 2014

It might list the fruits on the can, but it really is just a tropical flavour energy drink. Sweet, fruity, mildly refreshing but mostly a bit too sickly for my liking. I still prefer the more artificial flavour of Monster Ripper if you’re going to go down the tropical route.

Source Tropical

March 22nd, 2014

Meh… just a bland tropical tasting drink really. It’s inoffensive and that’s about as complimentary as I can be. To be honest, Morrison’s have just included this flavour to complete their band-wagon jumping range.
