Monster Rehab Strawberry Lemonade
February 20th, 2023I wasn’t that keen on this one, sorry. I love lemonade flavoured energy drinks, but the strawberry part wasn’t to my taste. It was a definite Monster drink, recognisably so, and packed the usual wake-up punch you’d expect. Similar to ‘pink lemonade’ but not quite so moreish.

It’s Time Energy Orange + Lemon
January 28th, 2023Considerably better tasting than the red berry original but still very sour. The citrus flavour from the orange and lemon is considerably more palatable making this drink slightly more refreshing as you make your way through the 330ml can. Don’t forget that this is still very high in caffeine just like the original, at 61mg/100ml. It’s also still sugar free, and packs the same ingredients mixture as the original too.

It’s Time Energy Original
January 21st, 2023I don’t care how many MMA stars are plastered on the can to intimidate me into liking this… I didn’t! This is a red berry flavoured drink, and has an extremely odd combination of being both very sweet whilst also dry and tart at the same time. A few sips of this had me wanting to scare my tongue clean, I’ve no idea how they managed that. Perhaps it’s the wolfberry extract, I’m not sure. This drink includes the now obligatory sugar-free-ness (which is a bonus in my opinion), BCAAs, B vitamins, and caffeine from green coffee beans. It’s also really caffeine-potent at 61mg/100ml in the 330ml can so keep that in mind! I only paid 20p for the can, so that should also be taken into consideration here I guess! Still, full marks for originality.
Monster Energy Lewis Hamilton Zero Sugar
December 10th, 2022A new Monster drink! I was quite excited to try this one as the description on the can said it was flavoured with ‘stone fruits’ but sadly the excitement was short lived… it tastes like a tropical energy drink, possibly passion fruit too. I was expecting peach or cherry flavour, but nope, not that I could detect. Still, it’s a perfectly drinkable energy drink, just nothing original.

Red Bull Summer Edition (2022) – Apricot and Strawberry
December 3rd, 2022I know, it’s winter by the time this review is being posted, but that’s not my fault. I didn’t find it in the shops until a few weeks ago! There’s a definite Red Bull feel to the flavour, it’s smooth and fruity. The apricot is unusual for an energy drink and is quite nice, but I couldn’t really taste the strawberry coming through at all. There was a general fruity mix to the flavour along with the apricot. Overall, this is quite summery tasting and not as odd as you might think!

Hell Gamer Edition: Coco Split
November 26th, 2022Coconut. Definitely coconut. The description on the can says that there’s also dragon fruit and tutti-frutti flavouring in there too, and I guess there is a fruity twang to it, but mostly it’s coconut. I don’t find coconut drinks very refreshing personally, but it’s not an offensive flavour! As with the other flavour I tried (Cherry Beam), it’s mostly about the branding on the can, and this particular one is calling itself a PvP flavour. I’m not sure of the relevance of that but, hey, it is what it is!

Hell Gamer Edition: Cherry Beam
November 19th, 2022Let’s face it, these cans are designed to stand out with their gaming themed labels and branding. Honestly though, the references are lost on me… I’m not sure if Nova is a character in a game I’ve never heard of, or something else. Give me 1990s’ Doom and a bit of Tomb Raider and I’ll know what I’m doing, but all I can tell you about this drink is that underneath the pretty labels it’s a fizzy synthetic cherry flavoured drink. Not bad, but not special really.

Mio Energy Wicked Blue Citrus
November 5th, 2022This is an odd one to review as it’s a concentrate. I added a couple of small squirts to some carbonated water that I’d made using a Sodastream. It was okay, more like a watery raspberry than citrus in my opinion.

Mango Go!
October 29th, 2022The can says that it’s Sunshine with Bubbles. Well, I guess it is quite summer-y tasting but it’s only 2% mango juice, the rest is apple and lime. That’s not much mango for a mango drink!
