Emerge – Juicy Berry
May 7th, 2016Yeah I’m pretty sure that Emerge re-brand every week. I can’t keep up with their ‘Dual’ or not ‘Dual’ or whatever branding, and now it appears they have taken their berry flavour and just called it Juicy Berry. I don’t think this is a new drink, but it’s got a new name.
ESTAR – Lemon and Lime
April 30th, 2016A very nice lemon and lime flavoured energy drink. Quite often with the lemon/lime flavours, they taste like someone has used way too much cordial. But, this one is balanced just right. This is the first ESTAR drink I’ve discovered and looking at their web site they seem to have many flavour varieties. If I come across any others I’ll be sure to grab and review them quickly.

Red Bull – The Orange Edition (2016)
March 26th, 2016It’s certainly a different take on orange flavoured energy drinks. It’s sweet but not strong or sickly. The taste is quite definitely orange, but not watered down either. I think they’ve struck a good balance of flavour. When compared to something like Lucozade, it’s not as sharp, fizzy, or sickly. When compared to one of the other ‘own-brand’ orange energy drinks, it’s much smoother and refined. You can’t taste that it’s a Red Bull product, but you can certainly tell that it’s a premium product.

OMG!
March 19th, 2016I’m loathed to call this drink a ‘clone’ because although it is completely recognisable as an energy drink style of flavour, it’s not like your normal clones. It’s quite nice, not too bitter or sour, and very drinkable. I enjoyed it a lot, mainly because it wasn’t what I had expected. And did I mention it promises Supernatural Performance? Doesn’t specify what in though.

Monster Energy Ultra
March 12th, 2016This is a strange one, it’s citrusy and smooth, yet quite sickly. But, it was low calorie so that’s a bonus. I did really enjoy it overall and would have it again if I ever see it. Definitely not like the usual Monster drinks.

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.
