Reign Storm: Peach Nectarine
October 5th, 2024Another one of what I think is intended to be Reign’s healthier-looking drinks with pictures of real fruit on the front. I’m not a big fan of peach drinks but this was sort of ok. I mean, it was too peachy for me but if you like peach then I guess the balance of flavour is pretty good!

Reign Storm: Valencia Orange
September 28th, 2024Nice and fresh. The orange (I can’t vouch for the Valencian origin of those oranges) flavour is balanced well, not massively strong but not weak and watery either. Quite an interesting design for the can too, taking design hints from those other brands which are targeting the health market. You still have the large Reign logo, but you now have the silver background and actual pictures of fruit!

Hell Black Cherry
September 21st, 2024This is more like it. After the disappointing AI flavour of drink, black cherry gives me that fizzy fruit sherbet cherry flavour from my childhood! Extremely drinkable and robustly flavoured.

Hell A.I.
September 14th, 2024Well I guess it had to happen eventually, the rise of AI was bound to find its way to energy drinks. If the can and web site are to be believed then this drink was at least in part designed by AI. What it’s come up with it just a red berry flavour. Quite sickly, nothing revolutionary, a bit meh. Human-based flavour creators have nothing to worry about!

Grenade Tropical “Sun of a Beach”
September 7th, 2024A very interesting take on a tropical energy drink – yes it says it’s tropical flavoured, but it’s coconut! There must be some fruit in there somewhere too but it’s not anything like your typical tropical drink. I’m also slightly concerned by the allergy information saying this may contain crustaceans and fish… it doesn’t taste fishy anyway, how do those accidentally get into an energy drink mix, are they using tropical sea water?!? anyway, it’s a nice and very different tasting drink.

Protein Dynamix Dynamo Booster Shot – Blue Raspberry
August 31st, 2024As with all energy shots there is a bitter taste to this drink, but the blue raspberry flavouring does a brilliant job of making this drink taste ok! Don’t forget that this is a massively potent shot containing 200mg of caffeine, so I’d suggest not having ANY other energy drinks within 24 hours of this one. It wakes you up good and proper all by itself!
Red Bull Summer Edition (2024) – Curuba-Elderflower
August 24th, 2024As has become traditional, Red Bull have released their annual summer flavour for 2024. This time it’s Curuba and Elderflower. It’s very citrussy and fruity, but quite sickly. It’s a bit like a tropical energy drink in terms of the fruitiness but without the tang that you get from mango/passionfruit… so smoother. Certainly worth a try as it’ll only be around for a year, but probably not one I’ll be getting more cans of.

C4 Millions Strawberry
August 10th, 2024It does actually taste like Millions sweets! I think this flavour is basically what you’d get if you soaked strawberry Millions in water for a few ays and drained off the results. It’s not as strong in flavour as the actual sweets themselves, it’s quite watered down tasting, but the flavour is very recognisable and really nice.

Monster Juiced Bad Apple
August 3rd, 2024This is Monster’s take on an apple flavoured drink. The flavour is so subtle though that I totally forgot I was drinking an apple drink! It’s basically like normal Monster energy but with a subtle apple tint to it. Quite drinkable as usual!
