Effect Zero

May 28th, 2014

Really not as nice as the full fat version. You’d usually expect there to be a similarity but in this case it’s pretty much a different flavour of energy drink. Much more bitter tasting and quite cheap tasting despite the premium price and ‘high quality’ blurb splashed over the front of the can.

Effect

May 24th, 2014

Not too bad. It’s a clone so there’s no surprises there. It’s also on the herbal side regards to taste, but still very sweet. It bills itself as a high quality energy drink, but other than the slightly larger can, which does feel textured in a higher quality way, there’s nothing to indicate that this is a high quality drink from a taste point of view.

Dynamite

May 17th, 2014

Explosive? Ex-no-sive. Nice can design, poor attention to the quality of the drink. It’s a normal, boring clone with a slightly sour taste.

Nutri1st 3in1 Sports Drink Berry

May 14th, 2014

Infinitly better than the Orange variety of this drink, as in it didn’t make me feel sick. It really does just taste like slightly fruity still water. Okay, so it’s got a tiny amount of protein in it, but it’s not worth the money in my opinion so just buy a protein bar and a can of Red Bull instead.

M Energy Drink Sugar Free

May 7th, 2014

Just another sugar free energy drink. Better than Euro Shopper is now as in recent months I’m pretty sure they have changed their recipe, but still just a clone.

M Energy Drink

It’s another budget Red Bull clone from a convenience store. It’s cheap, tastes sweet, and wakes you up. Nothing else to say I’m afraid.

Lucozade Energy: Melonade

April 30th, 2014

This is a limited edition flavour and it’s pretty good. It’s a mild fizzy melon flavoured drink which is very high in calories, but low in caffeine. In fact, I’ve guessed at the caffeine content based on the information I know about other Lucozade Energy drinks because the label on this bottle doesn’t give you any clues.

Nutri1st 3in1 Sports Drink Orange

April 26th, 2014

It’s a clever idea – jump on the bandwagon of protein drinks by producing an energy drink with added protein. The 3in1 on the bottle refers to the combination of protein, carbohydrates and caffiene, and the drink is clearly marketed at the gym-going type. The taste, sadly, is not up to scratch. The orange is very bitter and not at all refreshing. If I were drinking this after a gym session, it wouldn’t help my stomach at all. Also if it’s protein you are after then you should probably go for an actual protein shake or protein bar – this drink contains less than 2g of protein.

KX Still Red Berry

April 23rd, 2014

Sickly in quantity but not too bad overall. It’s more like drinking one of those cheap children’s plastic cup drinks than an energy drink because it’s still and not carbonated. Nothing original though as there are dozens of berry drinks which taste the same.
