LSV Sours – Cherry

December 27th, 2014

Not so sour, but still quite nice. It’s just a fizzy cherry flavoured energy drink. I enjoyed it, but probably won’t buy it again. What I really want to see from drinks manufacturers is a properly sour energy drink. I want one that makes me pull my gums back over my teeth that it’s so sour. I’d buy a whole case of those!

Mixxed Up: Cranberry

December 20th, 2014

I think I may be becoming used to the taste of cranberries. Normally, I tend to rate these drinks lower than tropical ones, but in this case it’s not too bad. That’s as good a compliment as I’m willing to give the drink though. It’s sweet, flavoured, and cheap. There are better flavours in the range though, and the sugar free original flavour one is still one of my favourites.

KX Cola

December 13th, 2014

What a pleasant little cola drink. It’s not too sickly, it’s not too strong. It’s just a nice caffeinated cola. So much better than I’d expected from the KX range of drinks to be honest.

Mixxed Up: Tropical

December 6th, 2014

Just another tropical drink. It’s sweet and goes down easily, no tart aftertaste or anything, but quite bland overall.

Oshee Vitamin Energy Formula: Vitamins + Minerals

November 29th, 2014

It’s original alright – it doesn’t appear to have any added caffeine over the guarana extract. It tastes okay, it has no strange side effects, but it doesn’t give you the expected energy kick. It has tons of sugar in, so is not really aimed at the health conscious either which begs the question: just who is this drink aimed at anyway?

Mixxed Up: Lime

November 22nd, 2014

I do love my lime/lemon/citrus flavoured drinks. Usually they’re the most refreshing and enjoyable of all the flavours. This one, I have to admit was nice, I think. I drank it almost absent minded and it wasn’t until I’d finished the can that I suddenly wondered what it tasted like. Having said that, it must have been okay because I’m sure I’d have noticed if it weren’t – but by the same evidence it also didn’t stand out either.

Relentless Origin Ultra

November 8th, 2014

Considerably better than Relentless Origin. It doesn’t suffer from that odd brewed taste of its full fat cousin, and is overall much more palatable. It’s still a bit watery, and not the best Relentless in the range, but it is low in calories. Choose this over regular Origin.

Liquid Lightning

November 1st, 2014

Forget 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.

Scheckter’s Organic Energy Lite

October 25th, 2014

Smooth yet sharp, much like the full fat version of this drink. It still tastes like it must be good for you, and it even has the organic and Fairtrade logos plastered all over the can. It firmly fits in the tree-hugging category of energy drinks, but if you want something with street cred wid da kidz, stick to the other brands!
