Grenade Tropical “Sun of a Beach”

September 7th, 2024

A 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, 2024

As 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, 2024

As 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, 2024

It 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, 2024

This 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!

Body Fuel Orange

July 27th, 2024

I bog standard regular orange flavoured drink. You couldn’t even tell that it’s an energy drink to be honest, it just tastes like a slightly fizzy orange squash. It tastes ok, but it’s not a premium product really

Prime Energy Original

July 20th, 2024

An unspecified ‘original’ flavour in a white can which is reminiscent of Monster Ultra, which is also sold in a white can! This drink has a sweet citrus flavour, also very similar to Monster Ultra. It’s sugar-free which is great, and packs quite a caffeine punch especially as it’s a larger than normal 330ml can. A nice drink if you find it at a decent price, but drink it chilled as it becomes a bit sickly once it starts to warm up.

Monster Ultra Peachy Keen

July 13th, 2024

Another cracker from Monster. I hate peach, but I like this! As (almost) always they’ve made it super smooth tasting and have got the balance of flavouring just right. It’s sweet enough to overcome the tartness of the peach and overall quite refreshing.

Virtue Clean Energy Orange

July 6th, 2024

Another orange energy drink for 2024. This time it’s a lot more ‘healthy’ tasting, and by that I mean it’s a bit sharp and tangy, in my mind I’d call the flavour ‘bare’! It’s sweet, but not overly, and certainly tastes more like a raw fruit flavour than a sugar-laden cordial.
