Rubicon Raw Cherry and Pomegranate

June 12th, 2021

The first of three new Rubicon flavours I’ve discovered – and I hope the other two are as good as this one. There’s a strong and tangy, slightly sour cherry flavour to this – not much of the pomegranate that I could tell, but overall this was a really nice drink. Not too sickly, but still very sweet.

Boost Energy – Cherry Burst

August 3rd, 2019

I was a little bit disappointed with this drink. It started off great, a nice and sweet fix cherry flavour that was a bit different to the norm. But, after only a few sips it became quite sickly to drink. That’s a shame really because they really have tried something different, so maybe it’s just not to my taste.

1899 Cherry

October 20th, 2018

Quite a tart yet sweet drink, remeniscent of double-dips from the sweet shop. Nice in a 250ml can but I wouldn’t want much more than that. The upside is though it’s sugar-free!

Focus BPM: Berry Red

September 30th, 2017

When it says Berry on the can… it means one specific berry: cherry. It’s really tasty, but it doesn’t quite give the caffiene hit you’d expect from an energy drink (quite low at 14mg/100ml). I found this in Ireland – never seen it in the UK though so keep your eyes out for it.

Monster Ultra Black

June 17th, 2017

This cherry flavoured drink is really nice – but it does need to be drunk whilst cool. Once it starts to warm up it becomes a little sickly.

Euro Shopper Sour Cherry

May 23rd, 2015

I really like this. Synthetic and strongly flavoured, it’s really nice as well as quite cheap. It’s not very sour at all though as you would expect (come on, the ultra sour drink challenge is still open).

LSV Sours – Cherry

December 27th, 2014

Not so sour, but still quite nice. It’s just a fizzy cherry flavoured energy drink. I enjoyed it, but probably won’t buy it again. What I really want to see from drinks manufacturers is a properly sour energy drink. I want one that makes me pull my gums back over my teeth that it’s so sour. I’d buy a whole case of those!

Relentless Cherry

July 19th, 2014

As it says on the can, it’s refreshing! Sweet and artificial, but tasty, fruity and refreshing. It’s also lower in calories per 100ml than most energy drinks, but it’s certainly not low calorie. I highly recommend this new Relentless flavour for something a bit different and long may it last!

Amp Energy Overdrive

December 21st, 2013

Have you ever tried Mountain Dew Code Red? It’s essentially the same nice smooth flavour, but powered up with extra caffeine and taurine to give it the full on Energy Drink credentials. It’s nice but not refreshing, and as I paid £4.50 for the can I’m a little bit disappointed… that isn’t to say I wouldn’t try the other flavours in the Amp Energy range.
