Kruidvat 100% Natural Energy
April 23rd, 2016As per the trend at the moment, this is a Stevia sweetened energy drink providing fewer calories than your regular full fat versions, but many more than your usual sugar free drinks. I think that this is strawberry or raspberry flavour, but can’t be sure It’s nice and refreshing though whatever its flavour is.

NOCCO BCAA+ Citrus
April 16th, 2016Another Swedish purchase, sadly this isn’t actually an energy drink at all. There are barely any calories and no caffeine at all, but I’ve included it on this site as it’s from the same range as the other NOCCO drinks I purchased at the same time. The citrus flavour is pretty good – more like a lime cordial mix than say Sprite, but very good anyway. It certainly tastes a lot better than your usual post-workout protein shake!

NOCCO BCAA – Julmust
April 9th, 2016This is officially the first Christmas themed energy drink that I’ve ever seen. It’s really high in caffeine and it has those strange BCAA protein thingies in too. And how does it taste? Well, it took a few opinions to narrow this down, but I reckon it’s Christmas Pudding flavour. It smells a lot worse than it tastes, but it does taste pretty awful. I can’t see Christmas Pudding as a drink flavouring (energy or otherwise) ever taking off to the mass market!

NOCCO BCAA – Hallon (Raspberry)
April 2nd, 2016Purchased in a 7Eleven mini-supermarket in Gothenburg, I had to Google Translate the flavor: Hallon means Raspberry. It tasted a bit like the Monster ‘Tea’-based energy drinks, which is to say, not that nice! It’s not fizzy, and quite watery tasting, but it does pack one ‘eck of a caffeine punch and is sugar free. It also includes BCAAs, which once again Google tells me is a protein supplement often associated with a weight-lifter’s post workout diet. It scores top marks for originality, but fails the taste test. Note: NOCCO = No Carbs Company.

Red Bull – The Orange Edition
March 26th, 2016It’s certainly a different take on orange flavoured energy drinks. It’s sweet but not strong or sickly. The taste is quite definitely orange, but not watered down either. I think they’ve struck a good balance of flavour. When compared to something like Lucozade, it’s not as sharp, fizzy, or sickly. When compared to one of the other ‘own-brand’ orange energy drinks, it’s much smoother and refined. You can’t taste that it’s a Red Bull product, but you can certainly tell that it’s a premium product.

OMG!
March 19th, 2016I’m loathed to call this drink a ‘clone’ because although it is completely recognisable as an energy drink style of flavour, it’s not like your normal clones. It’s quite nice, not too bitter or sour, and very drinkable. I enjoyed it a lot, mainly because it wasn’t what I had expected. And did I mention it promises Supernatural Performance? Doesn’t specify what in though.

Monster Energy Ultra
March 12th, 2016This is a strange one, it’s citrusy and smooth, yet quite sickly. But, it was low calorie so that’s a bonus. I did really enjoy it overall and would have it again if I ever see it. Definitely not like the usual Monster drinks.

E-ON – Citrus Punch
March 5th, 2016I expected a lemon flavour, but it’s actually a tropical drink. High in caffeine and calorie content, it was disappointing.
E-ON – Apricot Rush
February 27th, 2016There is a slight taste of apricot in this drink, but to be honest the most overwhelming flavour I detected was almond. It was like drinking marzipan! A bit of Googling turned up that apricot kernels and almonds are similar in taste, so that is probably what’s been used to make this drink. It’s very different, but probably not for everyone!
