Huel Vitamin Drink: Pineapple & Mango
July 11th, 2026This is about as fruity as an energy drink gets I reckon. From the company that brought you the concept of “Fed up with nice food? Just drink our rebranded gruel instead…” comes their own branded healthy-sounding energy drinks. To be fair to them, it does contain grape, pineapple and mango juice as the second biggest ingredient after water so it isn’t as unhealthy as most energy drinks. This is a tropical flavoured drink though, and not a bad one at all really. If it wasn’t for the high price I would certainly be up for trying this again.

GTEX Energy Drink Purple Fizz
June 27th, 2026This is the first ever energy drink I’ve seen with “Made in Wales” written on the can! Maybe I was feeling patriotic as I drank it, but it made me want to sing Calon Lân at full volume as I sipped it! The purple fizz flavour of this drink is I believe grape, so this is a nice grape soda basically. It’s also VERY high in calories for some reason so you get quite the sugar-rush from it which is unusual these days to be honest. I enjoyed it if only for the local product origin and grape soda being quite rare in the UK.
Golden Eagle
June 27th, 2026It’s a nice shiny can that’s for sure. Inside it’s VERY sweet though, like almost syrupy and it coats your tongue with sugar! It’s a clone drink and clearly on the sweet rather than sour side of things.
Tenzing Pineapple & Passionfruit
May 30th, 2026I really nice tropical-flavoured drink! Honestly, out of all the Tenzing flavours this is the best. There’s no bitterness, no sickliness, just a nice tangy drink with plenty of fruitiness. Very refreshing, very easy to drink.

Frugo Energy Mango
May 23rd, 2026It’s a nice smooth tropical flavoured drink in some crazy cool artwork-laden can. A bit expensive for what it is – it’s certainly not premium tasting, but there’s nothing wrong with it other than it being a bit lower in caffeine content than most other brands.

Frugo Energy Watermelon and Strawberry
May 16th, 2026Pretty nice! You can taste the watermelon, but it’s subtly against the much stronger strawberry. Sweet, no bitterness at all, and smooth. I’d be happy getting this one again that’s for sure but it is on the lower side of strength in terms of caffeine content.

Let’s Get Ready To Rumble – Sour Apple
May 9th, 2026Yes, it’s Apple, no it’s not sour. It’s quite a mild apple flavour to be honest, nowhere near as strong as an apple squash for example – more like a watered down sweetened apple juice. Plenty of caffeine so you’ll get your kick, but probably not the most refreshing flavours in the range.
Let’s Get Ready To Rumble – Cherry Fizz
May 2nd, 2026It’s cherry flavoured that’s for sure, but not in-your-face so. The smell is stronger than the taste – it’s quite a mild cherry flavour and certainly not sour like the ‘fizz’ part would suggest. It’s sweet and smooth, not too sickly. I’d say they probably have the balance of the cherry flavour about right for such a large sized can.
Rubicon Raw Energy Wave Edition Peach and Apricot
April 25th, 2026It does the job. A large can of caffeinated tropical flavoured drink… it’s sugary tasting, quite artificial, but really very nice and not too sickly despite that. Difficult to say much more about it really, it doesn’t stand out – very middle-of-the-road, inoffensive but not extraordinary.
