Monster Ultra Paradise
April 25th, 2020Another addition to the Monster Ultra range, this time ‘green’ flavour… whatever that might be! It’s always a bit of a mystery trying new Monster flavours because they rarely mention anything on the can itself, instead opting for a more cryptic paragraph of some far-fetched scenario. In this case, it’s posing a question of “what is paradise?” along with a few suggested answers. Well, it turns out green tastes like a citrus/melon flavoured drink, so I’m going to mark this as melon. It’s refreshing and a very smooth drink with a pleasant flavour.

Brain Füd: Pineapple and Ginger
April 18th, 2020It burns!!!! If there is pineapple in this drink, then I can’t taste it. All I can taste is the fiery harshness of ginger burning its way to my stomach. It’s very strong on the ginger front if you hadn’t got that… strong and overpowering enough to make it unpleasant to drink and I couldn’t finish it. I think I managed about a quarter of the carton before giving up.

Mad-Croc Green Apple
April 4th, 2020Despite the awesome can graphics, this really was just a cheap tasting fizzy apple drink. It was quite sweet tasting and left a tangy aftertaste… I couldn’t recommend it.
(1.8/5)
Brain Füd: Berry and Coconut
March 28th, 2020This is an unusual find. It’s sold in Tetra Pak cartons instead of cans, and that’s because it’s a still drink rather than carbonated. This Berry and Coconut flavoured variety was very surprisingly quite nice! It’s not too strong in flavour, but has just enough fruity taste to be interesting and refreshing. The caffeine content is low, but enough. Very original, low in calories, top marks from me!

Tenzing Raspberry and Yuzu
March 21st, 2020Considerably better than the other Tenzing flavour I tried some time back. This one is still on the ‘natural’ and therefore bitter side, but not enough to spoil things. It’s fruity and with a slight citrus tang. I still don’t think that Sherpa Tenzing would approve though…
(3.1/5)
Rich
March 14th, 2020This brand is attempting to pass itself off as premium. The two-tone design of the can is a step in the right direction, but the drink itself is nothing unique. It’s on the watery side, which is not a bad thing especially as it’s just about right in terms of not being too sweet, too sickly or too bitter. But, there’s no standout quality and it is ultimately another wannabe.

Irn Bru Energy
March 7th, 2020There’s nothing like Irn Bru… and this is Irn Bru then some. It has the familiar Irn Bru non-distinct mixed fruit flavour, teeth-rotting amount of sugar, and a massive dollop of caffeine in it. As I understand it, this is basically a staple part of the Scottish diet, and indeed in my few trips North of the border I have seen copious cans and bottles (and delivery trucks) of Irn Bru. With the addition of caffeine to the magic mixture I now have visions of very hyperactive Scots running around bagging Munroes at a rate of several a minute.

Mad-Croc Red Berry
February 29th, 2020Quite a sour berry flavoured drink and jam packed full of sugar too. It tasted quite budget, like a supermarket own-brand berry drink.
(2.5/5)
Mad-Croc
February 22nd, 2020I was expecting a bog standard clone drink, but there was a definite tropical flavour to it. Very sweet and with a sickly aftertaste, but not too overpowering.
