Brite: Lemon Lime
December 21st, 2024Ooh, now this has a sharpness to it. That’s good, don’t get me wrong there, and you can certainly taste the citrus kick from the lemon. But, hidden in that taste was something else that I couldn’t put my finger on so I went looking through the ingredients. Turns out they’ve used apple juice in there which you can definitely pick up on, but also there’s a bitter aftertaste that I reckon is matcha. I’m personally not a big fan of matcha or tea in general so for me this ruined it a bit. I love lemon and lime drinks, they’re my favourite, but the bitter aftertaste from this drink was not to my liking. If you like tea-based drinks though you might find this pleasant and refreshing.
Brite: Pineapple Mango
December 14th, 2024Much better than Raspberry Mint! This is however just a regular tropical tasting energy drink so what you sacrifice in originality you gain in being drinkable! It’s sweet and tasty and a reasonably sized 330ml can.
Red Bull Winter Edition (2024): Iced Vanilla Berry
November 30th, 2024Look, I know, it sounds horrible… vanilla and berries together in an energy drink like some sort of fizzy ice cream concoction, but hear me out on this. It turns out that this 2024 Winter edition of Red Bull is actually one of their best tasting drinks in a long time! It’s subtly flavoured, very sweet but not sharp or tart at all. The vanilla works really well to smooth out the gentle berry flavour. Whilst it isn’t particularly refreshing, it’s a nice smooth and fruity energy drink!
Tenzing Lime and Mint
November 23rd, 2024Someone out there must like the combination of lime and mint because a lot of drinks are coming out with this flavour. I think it’s supposed to be a bit like a mojito? I find the combination strange and sickly personally but other people have mentioned to me that’s it’s quite refreshing so I guess my opinion is not the popular one!
Warrior Rage Energy Shot: Energy Burst
November 16th, 2024When you open this bottle you get an aroma not too different to Calpol. Which is a good thing because everyone loves the taste of Calpol! The taste is of course both extremely sweet and bitter at the same time, which is what you have to expect from an energy shot really. It reminds me a lot of the original Red Bull energy shot from several years ago, when energy shots were all the rage. Rage 🙂 get it? Cuz this is called Warrior Rage? No? Oh ok, well, a good energy shot, sorry for the ramblings!
G Fuel Ice Shatter
November 9th, 2024It’s a bit like the white Monster but with a slight twist. Blueberry and lemon, so it’s a tangy version of a blueberry drink. Refreshing and very heavy on the caffeine.

Bob Ross Positive Prussian Blue Raspberry
November 2nd, 2024I think we can all agree that this is what Bob Ross would have wanted, his own range of energy drinks. This is a US import and the Americans know how to make an energy drink. Lots of high fructose corn syrup and the most artificial of flavourings and colours possible! Blue raspberry at its synthetic finest.

Reign Storm: Kiwi Blend
October 26th, 2024I don’t like apple, luckily the kiwi flavour has toned down the appleness and this is an ok drink for the summer. Fresh and fruity without being sickly.

Kong Strong Colossus: Orange, Passion Fruit, Guava
October 19th, 2024It’s a tropical energy drink. Badge it up however you like by listing the fruits used but at the end of the day it’s a huge (colossal?) can of tropical energy drink! Not bad, and from the budget supermarket Lidl so a decent price too.
