Liquid Lightning
November 1st, 2014Forget lightning, this is like liquid marzipan. I love it, it’s so different to anything I’ve tried before and it has quite a caffeine hit to it too. This was another import from America, so you’re unlikely to see it in the UK unless your local import shop finds it for you.
Rip It – Red Zone
March 5th, 2014Mmm strawberries. I have to be honest and say that I was expecting a much stronger strawberry taste, but that would probably lessen the appeal to the masses making it a bit too sickly. Rip It Red Zone has struck a nice balance, it’s got the nice strawberry flavour I like but it isn’t too overpowering and sickly. The background flavour is the same as the Rip It Shot of the same variety only without the bitterness you get with energy shots. Caffeine-wise it is one of the lowest in the range at 35.4mg/100ml but it is still much higher than most UK energy drinks! The drink is obviously a bright pink colour (red food colouring?) to associate it with strawberries even further.

Amp Energy Traction
December 25th, 2013Wow, I do like grape flavoured energy drinks because they’re really quite different. This isn’t the best rendition, but it’s nice for a change. Very sweet, very sickly, and packs a whole punch of wake-up-ness.

Amp Energy Overdrive
December 21st, 2013Have you ever tried Mountain Dew Code Red? It’s essentially the same nice smooth flavour, but powered up with extra caffeine and taurine to give it the full on Energy Drink credentials. It’s nice but not refreshing, and as I paid £4.50 for the can I’m a little bit disappointed… that isn’t to say I wouldn’t try the other flavours in the Amp Energy range.

Rip It – G-Force Sugar Free
August 28th, 2013Again, credit to Rip It for making their sugar-free and regular varieties of drinks taste the same. No chewy feeling from the sweeteners at all in this drink making it just as pleasant as the regular G-Force. Other than that, identical to it if a little lower in the caffeine department.

Rip It – Citrus X Sugar Free
August 24th, 2013As with the full-fat version, I wasn’t too impressed with this drink. The sharp orange taste is just too overpowering. There are many other flavours in the Rip It range, so spend your money on those instead.

Rip It – Power Sugar Free
August 21st, 2013I was a little disappointed I have to say. Whereas most energy drinks in my opinion taste better in their sugar-free versions, Rip It have made their full-fat versions so nice that the sugar-free ones fail to equal the taste. It was nice, but not as nice as the normal version so I’d suggest you go for that one instead. Aside from that, it’s the same unique flavour as Rip It Power which you can’t get anywhere else.

Pit Bull Pomegranate and Blueberry
August 17th, 2013Well, it was okay I suppose. To be honest though it was a bit middle-of-the-road. I didn’t hate it – it had no bitterness, no nasty aftertaste. On the other hand it wasn’t fantastic either, it was a bit sweet, fruity, and had an okay caffeine kick, but the flavour just didn’t jump out at me as being amazing or anything special.

Rip It Shot – Code Blue
August 14th, 2013This shot tasted like sour raspberries to me. As energy shots go due to the fruit flavour it is one of the better ones, but not the best of the Rip It shots range. This is the only Rip It shot not based on a full sized can Rip It drink so makes it someone unique and trickier to compare. Being sugar-free instantly gives it more marks in my opinion, but this is subjective of course! If you get the choice, choose the Code Red over this one as it’s far less bitter.
