Monster Rehab Green Tea
May 8th, 2013It tastes like tea. I don’t like tea therefore I don’t like this drink – but I had to try it because it exists! There’s some fruit juice in there too, but you can’t taste it – you just get an overwhelming taste of tea.

Monster Rehab Tea + Orangeade
May 4th, 2013I’m still not convinced on the use of tea as a suitable ingredient in energy drinks. Luckily, the orangeade flavour of this one mostly masks the tea flavour. It’s still there, brewing (see what I did there) at the back somewhere, but the orange-ness is a welcome overtone. Personally though, if you want an orange flavoured energy Monster, get Monster Khaos.

Lucozade Sport Elite Citrus
May 1st, 2013Brilliant! I have missed this drink – it used to be called Lucozade Fuel+Focus and it was my running drink of choice. Non-carbonated, sweet lemon flavour, and caffeine too, it was brilliant to keep you going. Thankfully they’ve brought it back and rebranded it as Lucozade Sport Elite (Citrus… there’s also an Orange version).

Rockstar Xdurance – Orange
April 24th, 2013Pretty good actually! As opposed to the Tropical Orange flavour of the canned Rockstar Xdurance, this bottle is a normal orange flavour, much like Lucozade Energy Orange. Refreshing and sweet. I’d prefer it in a can to be honest because I find drinks keep cooler for longer like that, but otherwise it’s more convenient as a 500ml option as you can seal it up and save some for later.

Source Orange
April 20th, 2013Cheap tasting and probably not worth the effort. It doesn’t quite achieve the optimum sweetness/sharpness ratio and leans on the sharp side making the drink a little unpleasant to consume – it doesn’t taste awful, but it could have been a lot better.
Shark Stimulation
April 13th, 2013Discovered at a bar of all places, I had to ask them not to open it before serving. Quite bitter in taste, very much like the European own-brands to some degree and sadly not as nice as I wanted it to be. Branding and can design is great though, and the kick from the product itself is no different to any other regular energy drink, but sadly this is just another clone of the brightly coloured horned creature.

Euro Shopper Energy Drink Sugar Free
April 6th, 2013I maybe putting this second in my list of nicest Red Bull Clones. It was very similar to Red Bull Sugar Free, but with a little bit more bitterness (a tiny eeny weeny amount more). This will give Aldi’s Red Thunder a run for its money and the deciding factors will now have to be price, availability and convenience. It’s a lot nicer than the non-sugar-free version of Euro Shopper’s Energy Drink and whether that is down to a ‘new improved’ flavour exercise that has happened since I tried the original I’m not sure – I may have to re-evaluate.
