Red Bull Summer Edition (2023) – Juneberry
July 22nd, 2023Quite a refreshing addition to the Red Bull lineup for summer 2023. Juneberry. I’ve no idea what it actually is, but to describe the flavour it’s a bit like blueberry, blue raspberry and generic berries all mixed together. It’s very sweet and great for the summer. Shame it’s rammed full of sugar but you can’t have everything!
Nutramino Heat – Orange
July 15th, 2023Yes, orange… nothing else even slightly coming through here. It’s a synthetic orange flavour, a bit like Lucozade but less watered down. I need to repeat my warning with this brand though – assume this innocent looking 330ml can is really the equivalent of about 600ml of Red Bull in terms of caffeine. Don’t go downing it too quickly or having extra cans later that day because it will give you a decent kick for several hours!

Protein Dynamix Tropical
July 8th, 2023Much like the mixed berry flavour of this drink, it’s quite sharp and bitter. If you like that sort of thing then you will like this drink! It’s a strong flavour too, not too watery, so you get a real tang on your tongue from it.

Protein Dynamix Mixed Berry
July 1st, 2023It’s a nice looking can, matt silver with a nice simple design. But, it’s a quite bitter and strong flavoured drink that’s like a strong mixed berry squash.

Relentless Zero Watermelon
June 17th, 2023A nice mild-flavoured watermelon drink. Not too sweet or sickly, just gently fruity and easy to drink.

Nutramino Heat – Melon and Apple
June 10th, 2023Regular readers will know that I’m not a fan of apple flavoured drinks. Even combined with melon didn’t improve it for me. It wasn’t too strong or artificial though, but be warned that this drink packs a punch in terms of caffeine. Not only does it have a high 55mg/100ml content, it’s also a slightly larger can than normal at 330ml which means there’s 181.5mg of caffeine in this can compared to the 80mg in a regular 250ml can. So be careful, assume you are drinking more than two cans when you consume this!

Dragon Energy Sugar Free
June 3rd, 2023I’ve tagged this as a clone, but it’s sort of not. Whilst there is that expected taste that’s very similar to Krating Dung (if you remember that one), it’s a nice energy drink that’s very fruity and sweet. Considering this is a low calorie drink you’d struggle to know that as it tastes like it’s packed full of sugar.

Braw Energy Red Cherry
May 27th, 2023The second Braw flavour I’ve discovered. Like the Blue Raspberry one, the can is glossy black with a paper label stuck to it – quite smart but unusual. Flavour-wise it doesn’t kick you in the face, but the artificial cherry is quite nice and balanced just right. A pretty good drink for the budget price I paid (89p I think).

Virtue Clean Energy Tropical
May 20th, 2023Apologies for the delay on this one, I picked up each of the Virtue flavours from Gloucester services, drank them, forgot to make notes, and then completely forgot what they tasted like. I actually found the tropical flavour again in Asda so have tried it out again just to bring you this review! Right then, the tropical flavour is quite sharp, refreshing, but sharp and not smooth. The drink is sweetened with stevia, and uses green coffee bean extract for its caffeine punch. It’s trying to be a responsible brand with an unspecified donation from each can being made to an unspecified “conservation of plants, animals and natural communities in the rainforest”. I’d like to have seen more elaboration and specifics on the can about that but I guess I can go and research!
