Extreme Energy
August 9th, 2014I was expecting a regular boring clone, but what I got was something very different. I tastes quite medical – like a non-minty mouthwash! Tipping it out in to a glass reveals it is also an unusual colour too – bluey greeny. IT contains more caffeine than most energy drinks too at 40mg/100ml so packs a real punch. I’ve never tasted an energy drink like this so at least those people at the Extreme Sport Channel have licensed something original.
V Sugar Free
August 2nd, 2014Just as I remember the full fat V energy drink, this sugar free one is also on the right side of sweet and sharp. Being a guarana based drink, I am still assuming that this is where the bulk of the flavouring comes from – and as I’m now writing this review having tasted Guarana Antarctica I can say that there are certainly similarities between them.

Blue Spark Mixed Fruit Sugar Free
July 26th, 2014A nice fruity sugar free drink. Nothing really special but perfectly drinkable and good value for money.

Relentless Cherry
July 19th, 2014As it says on the can, it’s refreshing! Sweet and artificial, but tasty, fruity and refreshing. It’s also lower in calories per 100ml than most energy drinks, but it’s certainly not low calorie. I highly recommend this new Relentless flavour for something a bit different and long may it last!

KX Still Red Berry Sugar Free
July 12th, 2014Very, very watery! I think there’s a reason that most fruity energy drinks are carbonated, and that’s because without those bubbles tingling your nerve endings you just don’t get much flavour out of the drink at all. It’s like a very weak berry flavoured squash. Probably better for drinking if you’re about to do some strenuous exertion of some sorts, but other than that it’s not up to much.

BVB09 Adrenalin
July 5th, 2014According to Wikipedia: “Ballspielverein Borussia 09 e.V. Dortmund, commonly known as Borussia Dortmund, Dortmund, or BVB, is a German sports club based in Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia.”. I don’t know much about sport at all, but I’ve had it confirmed by those in the know that the logo on the side of this can is pretty well known in footballing circles. The quality of the can itself is pretty good – a premium matt feel and good branding. The drink is a pleasant but unoriginal Red Bull clone, on the sweet side but perfectly drinkable.

Monster Energy: The Doctor
July 2nd, 2014This drink is intended to honour MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi, who’s nickname is apparently “The Doctor”. This is all very confusing to me as the only person who should sport that name owns a TARDIS. Oh well, on with the drink itself. It’s described as citrus flavoured, and I guess that orange is a citrus fruit – I was expecting something a little more on the lemon and lime side of things though! It’s very orangey, but that’s not bad because it’s still quite nice. Even the large quantity of drink you get in this large can doesn’t get too sickly, so they’ve managed the balance just right.

Carrefour Energy Drink Light
June 25th, 2014It actually tasted quite different to the full-fat version which is not unique, but certainly uncommon. It was a nice, simple clone, with a refreshing and easy to drink flavour. Worth getting if you’re in the neighbourhood.

Carrefour Psychik Taurine Force Fruits of the Forest
June 21st, 2014The name is a considerable mouthful. The drink isn’t. It’s just a fruity fizzy squash, quite sharp and sickly in flavour. Again, for Carrefour, nothing special.
