Body Fuel Orange

July 27th, 2024

I bog standard regular orange flavoured drink. You couldn’t even tell that it’s an energy drink to be honest, it just tastes like a slightly fizzy orange squash. It tastes ok, but it’s not a premium product really

Prime Energy Original

July 20th, 2024

An unspecified ‘original’ flavour in a white can which is reminiscent of Monster Ultra, which is also sold in a white can! This drink has a sweet citrus flavour, also very similar to Monster Ultra. It’s sugar-free which is great, and packs quite a caffeine punch especially as it’s a larger than normal 330ml can. A nice drink if you find it at a decent price, but drink it chilled as it becomes a bit sickly once it starts to warm up.

Monster Ultra Peachy Keen

July 13th, 2024

Another cracker from Monster. I hate peach, but I like this! As (almost) always they’ve made it super smooth tasting and have got the balance of flavouring just right. It’s sweet enough to overcome the tartness of the peach and overall quite refreshing.

Virtue Clean Energy Orange

July 6th, 2024

Another orange energy drink for 2024. This time it’s a lot more ‘healthy’ tasting, and by that I mean it’s a bit sharp and tangy, in my mind I’d call the flavour ‘bare’! It’s sweet, but not overly, and certainly tastes more like a raw fruit flavour than a sugar-laden cordial.

Monster Reserve: Orange Dreamsicle

June 29th, 2024

Orange seems to be making a bit of a come-back for 2024 and I’m seeing a few new orange-flavoured drinks around. This Orange Monster is really quite a smooth tasting drink. The orange flavour is mellow without any sharp edges but not weak – it’s almost like a slightly creamy tasting orange (weird, huh?) but it works well.

Monster Reserve: White Pineapple

June 22nd, 2024

I’m not usually a fan of pineapple. Don’t get me wrong, I love the flavour it adds to the lemon chicken sauce at my local Chinese takeaway, but on its own as a single flavour I’m not that keen. But… Monster have taken just the sweet top-notes of pineapple flavouring for their White Pineapple drink. This drink is sweet and smooth with no tangy or bitter taste at all. The description says it’s “white pineapple” also known as “sugarloaf”, so perhaps it’s this particular type of pineapple which gives it this smooth flavour rather than the regular varieties I’ve tried as actual fruit? I don’t know, I’m not a pineapple expert. Anyway… really worth a try if you can find a can of this.

Let’s Get Ready To Rumble Sugar Free

June 15th, 2024

In a surprise twist the sugar free version of this drink tastes totally different to the full fat version! It’s still quite watery, but instead of the tangy caramel, it’s a more subtle fruity flavour. Sweet, but no dodgy aftertaste and very drinkable.

Alani Nu Breezeberry

June 1st, 2024

Breezeberry??? Nope, BLUE RASPBERRY… please, Alani, put the actual real flavours on the can somewhere! I’d have still bought it, but your mysteriousness is just annoying. Yeah, it’s nice, it’s very sweet and it’s packed full of caffeine.

Alani Nu Cosmic Stardust

May 25th, 2024

You’ve got to love the marketing people for not actually telling you what the drink flavours really are… Cosmic Stardust???? Nope, it’s grape flavour! I do love grape soda so for me this is lovely, but I know a lot of people find grape drinks too sickly which I get. Anyway, loads of caffeine in this one, no sugar, so a decent fake-energy kick without as much tooth-rot 🙂
