E-ON – Citrus Punch
March 5th, 2016I expected a lemon flavour, but it’s actually a tropical drink. High in caffeine and calorie content, it was disappointing.
E-ON – Apricot Rush
February 27th, 2016There is a slight taste of apricot in this drink, but to be honest the most overwhelming flavour I detected was almond. It was like drinking marzipan! A bit of Googling turned up that apricot kernels and almonds are similar in taste, so that is probably what’s been used to make this drink. It’s very different, but probably not for everyone!
E-ON – Pomegranate Blast
February 20th, 2016Nah, pomegranate doesn’t work in an energy drink

Rush
February 13th, 2016Apparently this can design is the winner of the can design awards. It’s okay I guess, but I wish they’d spent a little more effort on the contents. It’s nice, but just another sweet clone.

Rockstar Freeze – Frozen Watermelon
January 30th, 2016Not just watermelon, but FROZEN watermelon. Nope, you don’t freeze the can, it’s fridge cold only, and nope there’s no obvious connection to the ice-based headache-inducing-for-all-parents film either. It’s a nice and sweet watermelon flavoured drink in a large can. Quite calorie intensive but very refreshing in warm weather. I hope I find a few other frozen-style flavours soon…

Gumball 3000 +Battery
January 23rd, 2016I have a feeling that this is a limited edition drink for promotional purposes – the can is advertising a Gumball 3000 competition to win concert tickets, gadgets and rally tickets, and the promotion ended many months before I managed to get hold of this can. The drink itself is a regular clone, quite watery and bland but refreshing. The gold-on-black can design is quite neat though, and a 330ml can size meant that I didn’t immediately recognise it as an energy drink on the shelf.
Source Orange & Passion Fruit
January 9th, 2016Not exactly original, but certainly a palatable beverage. It’s fruity and fresh, but also quite sweet and sickly by the time you get to the end of the can.

Tornado: Active
January 2nd, 2016It’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.

Mad Dog Energy Lemonade
December 26th, 2015A nice and refreshing lemonade drink. It’s tangy, along the same sort of flavour as Fanta Lemon by way of comparison, but with an obvious caffeine kick.
