Amp Energy Traction
December 25th, 2013Wow, I do like grape flavoured energy drinks because they’re really quite different. This isn’t the best rendition, but it’s nice for a change. Very sweet, very sickly, and packs a whole punch of wake-up-ness.

Amp Energy Overdrive
December 21st, 2013Have you ever tried Mountain Dew Code Red? It’s essentially the same nice smooth flavour, but powered up with extra caffeine and taurine to give it the full on Energy Drink credentials. It’s nice but not refreshing, and as I paid £4.50 for the can I’m a little bit disappointed… that isn’t to say I wouldn’t try the other flavours in the Amp Energy range.

Amp Energy Elevate
December 18th, 2013Synthetically berry. This tastes of America… it’s one of two very synthetic flavours I associate with energy drinks from the USA, the other being grape. I like the taste but it’s nothing original any more and can be found in the Rip It and Crunk ranges. If you’ve never tried one of those equivalents then give this one a go.

Amp Energy (UK)
December 14th, 2013It’s been a while since I tried the US version of Amp, so I can’t be 100% sure whether or not it tastes the same. It’s quite citrusy, with an almost pear-drop hint at the back of the tongue when you drink it. Now that I think about it, I don’t think it can taste the same as the US version. Looking back at that review I said how smooth the taste was and how similar it tasted to Mountain Dew. I’d have to say that this UK version does not remind me of Mountain Dew despite the logo plastered all over the can. It’s pretty good still, but I have better memories of the US version. I should also mention that whilst this drink is no where near low calorie, it is low by comparison to other similar drinks. With only 26kcal/100ml, it’s considerably lower than most other drinks which average at about 45kcal/100ml

Aliada Energy Drink
December 11th, 2013Surprisingly not another Red Bull clone! I’m not sure if it’s a supermarket own brand or not, but it is very low in caffeine. It tastes quite sweet and fruity – Not much of a kick but still tasty.

28 White
December 7th, 2013This is just the sugar-free version of 28 Black. It tastes more or less the same so it gets the same scores! It also contains the recently hyped Stevia (read about that here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevia) and is the first energy drink I’ve seen to contain this sugar substitute. I expect to see a lot more Stevia based drinks in the near future.

28 Black
December 4th, 2013Sharp and fruity. Not to my taste but I’d say this was a mixture of berries and tropical fruits. It reckons it’ll give me 28 hours of energy and there’s even a graph on the side of the can to scientifically prove it beyond reasonable doubt. Nope… not convinced myself, but it’s a potent drink.
F.E.E.D.
November 30th, 2013Claiming to be Fairtrade where possible, the only ingredient listed as Fairtrade is the sugar, so technically I suppose that counts. It seems to me though to be a gimmick for the sake of a gimmick. Standing for Fair Exchange Energy Drink, F.E.E.D. is just another Red Bull Clone but with a difference – it’s on the sweet side for a clone and does have an unusual taste too. It’s borderline as a clone, but still a clone.
Bulldog
November 27th, 2013What a nice little Red Bull clone this is. Sweet, syrupy and generally very pleasant to drink. According to the can, the brand has won the accolade of “The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise: International Trade” a number of years in a row. Even though the award was for the product’s business practises as opposed to the product itself, I’m giving it the 2013 award for “The Fizzy Wake-Up Awards best Red Bull Clone 2013”.
