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 Bubblegum
August 17th, 2024much stronger flavour than the strawberry version, this is punchy and recognisably bubblegum flavoured, so much so that you could almost chew it 🙂 Because it’s a large can, there’s a lot of drink to get through though so it does become sickly after a while. Still, quite original and exactly what it says it’s supposed to be.

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!
Body Fuel Orange
July 27th, 2024I 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

Monster Ultra Peachy Keen
July 13th, 2024Another 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, 2024Another 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.

Monster Reserve: Orange Dreamsicle
June 29th, 2024Orange seems to be making a bit of a come-back for 2024 and I’m seeing a few new orange-flavoured drinks around. This Orange Monster is really quite a smooth tasting drink. The orange flavour is mellow without any sharp edges but not weak – it’s almost like a slightly creamy tasting orange (weird, huh?) but it works well.
