Monster Energy: Lewis Hamilton 44
August 26th, 2017I think this variant is actually just titled ’44’, but with a Lewis Hamilton name-based endorsement thrown in the mix. I think what Monster have is a generic ‘sponsor endorsement’ recipe that they bring out with a special can design every once in a while because this tasted just like the can of Monster Energy: Gronk which I tried whilst on holiday in the USA (Gronk being an American footballer…). Well, Americans probably don’t know who Lewis is as much as us Brits are unfamiliar with American footballers, so I guess it makes sense to use a different personality in each country! As I described in the other review, it tastes nice, but it’s just a slightly tweaked version of the regular Monster Energy drink.
Spectra
April 8th, 2017A large can of clone-style energy drink. Nothing particularly special about it, but it’s sweet, not too sour or sharp, but definitely budget.
Rockstar Revolt Killer Cooler
February 18th, 2017Now this is a strange one that I can’t quite identify the flavour of. I think it’s mixed berries, and I’m sure I can taste blackcurrants in there somewhere. It’s nice, it’s quite a mild and watered down flavour, and there is something quite medicated about the taste too – along the lines of Calpol!

Rockstar Revolt Killer Citrus
February 11th, 2017It packs a pretty good punch for a sugar free energy drink. Taste-wise, it’s almost tropical as opposed to lemon/orange, but it’s not overly tart and has a nice smooth flavour.

Boost Energy Tropical Guango Sugar Free
December 31st, 2016Sharp and sweet, very fruity and difficult to tell that it’s a sugar-free drink. They’ve made the can a bit funky with multi-coloured fire patterns all over it and called it limited edition.

Volcaz Mojito
December 24th, 2016I reckon Mojito flavoured drinks must be quite popular in Eastern Europe or something because whenever you find a Polish brand, there’s usually a Mojito mix in the offering. I personally find the minty limey twang a little too sickly so I don’t look forward to trying these ones, but needs must and all that. Mojitos need alcohol, that’s what the mint and lime is there to mask the flavour of. Without alcohol, it’s just weird!
Full On: Tropical and Guava
December 3rd, 2016As I always say (or do now), there just aren’t enough drink names starting with the letter F. And this one only cost me 25p (ignore the can’s printed price point!) for a massive 500ml can. This drink tastes pretty good for a tropical blend – it was sweet, not overpowering at all, and not too sickly which is an important quality for a large can of drink. I’d buy it again, which is rare for me to say about tropical drinks! I’m now keeping my eyes out for other Full On flavours – so far this is the only one spotted in the wild but I imagine there must be an original around too.
Carabao Sugar Free
November 26th, 2016Subtly different to the regular version, the sugar free edition isn’t quite so syrup-tasting but it still has that Thai tang to it.

Carabao
November 12th, 2016This is certainly different. It has a fruity and sweet flavour, nothing like that of Red Bull at all but it does have the medicated tang that you’d expect from say one of the Thai drinks such as Lipovitan, only in a longer carbonated form. Despite finding this in a regular British supermarket, on reading the label my suspicions are confirmed. This is indeed a Thai energy drink (but a British import). It’s nice, it’s different, but it was expensive. Worth a try as a one-off for a taste from the homeland of energy drinks!
