Monster Rehab Peach Tea + Energy

November 28th, 2015

This drink contains two flavours which disagree considerably with my taste buds, namely peach and tea. Fortunately the tea taste is not so prominent, but the peach is strong and sickly. It’s also a non-carbonated beverage which seems to add to the sickliness. I can’t recommend this.

No Limit

October 24th, 2015

No, no, no-no, no, no, no-no, no, no, no-no, THERE’S NO LIMIT… etc. Nice, fruity, fizzy, and in a can aimed at a market that only the manufacturer could identify. I guess it’s for the adrenaline loving pink-fluffy dressing female and male market? Yeah, I’m not too sure, but I liked the drink anyhow.

POSI+IV – Peach and Lime

October 17th, 2015

Peach and Lime should never be combined. Ever. It just doesn’t work, and what you end up with is some sort of drink that doesn’t know if it’s supposed to be sharp, sour, sweet, or bitter. It’s the taste equivalent of mixing all of your paints together to get brown.

Spartan Original Zero

October 10th, 2015

Pretty much the same as the full fat edition, it tastes like No Fear, which is not a bad thing at all. A nice large can of a nice low calorie drink.

Epic Energy

October 3rd, 2015

It took me ages to open this can, and I had to use a screwdriver in the end. The re-sealable opening on the can is way too difficult to open, at least it was on the can that I purchased anyway. The branding on the can is premium quality, with a matt effect label, and the drink itself is okay (a clone) but nothing special. Very sweet, but let down by the daft and fiddly opening.

POSI+IV – Strawberry and Lime

September 12th, 2015

I had high hopes for this, but it turns out that strawberry and lime do NOT go together that well – in this instance at least. It was like a badly mixed cocktail.

Gangster

September 5th, 2015

Interesting branding… it’s clearly a cheap clone, and it tastes watery but very sweet by comparison to others, but the brushed silver can with black detailing does give it a premium look. I have to say though that the name ‘Gangster’ is unlikely to ever become a mainstream brand!

Tropicana Energy – Mango and Guava

August 29th, 2015

It’s just a shot of caffeinated fruit juice. I don’t much like fruit juice, so I found this horrific, but if you are after a caffeine perk without the usual energy drink flavour then this is for you. I’d be surprised if you could tell the difference between this drink and a regular juice drink.

Red Bull – The Tropical Edition (2015)

August 22nd, 2015

Red Bull have managed to tame the tropical flavour in their own special way. It’s just right! Sweet, but not overly, and definitely no nasty aftertaste. If you must go for a tropical energy drink, then you can’t go wrong with this one.
