No Fear Tropical Storm

February 1st, 2014

No Fear is generally one of my favourite brands of energy drink, not only for the flavour but also for the originality of a re-sealable can. The two newest additions to the range, Blue Storm and Tropical Storm, do not feature this latter unique selling point unfortunately. Whilst I enjoyed Blue Storm, Tropical Storm was sadly nothing special. It’s a sharp and sweet tropical drink which tastes much the same as any other tropical flavoured energy drink. Still, if you like that sort of thing then you get a lot of drink for your money so far as premium brands go.

Blue Spark Tropical Sugar Free

January 15th, 2014

Well, it’s alright. That’s as complimentary as I’m getting with this drink. It was a little watery, but not offensive.

Euro Shopper Energy Drink Tropical Orange

November 12th, 2013

For only 39p it’s not too bad. More orangy than tropically I’d say, but still a little on the sharp side for my liking. It’s obviously a budget drink and both the can design and taste reflect that, but if you want something different to the normal energy drink taste then you can’t really go too far wrong with this one.

Lucozade Energy Tropical

June 5th, 2013

I generally hate tropical energy drinks. I hated this one too. It’s not as bad as some, with the usual Lucozade watered down flavour helping considerably! As for the caffeine kick, it doesn’t offer much to be honest, but the elevated sugar levels help you crash in style. Ouch. Sorry Lucozade, I’m just not a big fan.

Rockstar Xdurance Tropical Orange

Bleurgh, another tropical drink. As expected, it’s sharp and sickly. Sorry Rockstar, I don’t like it.

Emerge Juiced – Tropical

November 24th, 2012

Nooo, another tropical drink! Nope, I didn’t like this much. It was sour, sharp, and everything I don’t like about tropical flavoured drinks. It was very cheap though, but even that doesn’t make up for the taste. Stick with their bog standard energy drink or if you must go for tropical, splash out on something a little more expensive.

Lucozade Energy Caribbean Crush

November 3rd, 2012

Oh no, not another tropical energy drink. Well, that was what crossed my mind as I opened the bottle and the smell emerged. The actual flavour, however, was quite a sweetened tropical taste, which took the edge off the usual sharpness of the fruit. They’ve also thrown in a background note of coconut which, I’m pleased to say, made it better. I really enjoyed this drink I have to say.

Blue Bolt Mango and Passion Fruit

July 14th, 2012

Tart, sharp and sweet – it’s like a can of fruit juice more than energy drink. The tropical flavour is very strong and makes you draw back the corners of your mouth like you’ve sucked on a slice of lemon. It’s very sugary and I can’t say it’s one of my favourites – I do prefer a more traditional energy drink flavour if I’m honest!

KX Tropical

June 9th, 2012

I’ll spare you the usual rant about tropical drinks this time. It’s not too bad to be honest but then again it is a predictable addition to the KX range. Sweet, tart, and what you’d expect… It’s a ‘tropical’ clone.
