M Energy Drink Sugar Free
May 7th, 2014Just another sugar free energy drink. Better than Euro Shopper is now as in recent months I’m pretty sure they have changed their recipe, but still just a clone.

M Energy Drink
May 3rd, 2014It’s another budget Red Bull clone from a convenience store. It’s cheap, tastes sweet, and wakes you up. Nothing else to say I’m afraid.
Superman Energy Drink
April 16th, 2014In theory, this drink should be the best drink ever. It’s officially linked to DC according to the logos on the back, and it’s probably imported from Krypton or at the very least the Fortress of Solitude. Sadly though it tastes just like a cheap Red Bull knock-off. It’s on the sour side with notes of pear drops, but it’s still very much a cheap tasting drink. Shame really, they could have made a brilliant drink with branding like this. Here’s my suggestion: make it bright green like kryptonite, change the flavour to something more fruity, and brand it as an antidote to kryptonite… just a suggestion. Right, anyone seen a Batman energy drink?

XS Energy (XC Energy)
February 19th, 2014It’s a very large can of generically budget energy drink. It’s a sweet mix, but slightly watery even though it keeps a decent 31.5mg/100ml of caffeine in tow. Mega hit of energy, and a rather nice flavour. I’d buy it again. One thing you should note is that it appears to have changed its name. The can I purchased was named XS Energy, but the web site declares a name change to XC Energy, presumably because of a trademark issue or other such problem.

Boost Sugar Free
January 22nd, 2014I finally found Boost Sugar Free, but it’s not in a can. A 500ml bottle is all I could get hold of, and I really prefer to review 250ml can editions if at all possible. That said, it’s a nice yet unoriginal clone. Best chilled, of course, because being in a bottle it warmed up quite a bit by the time I’d got to the second half.

Auchan Energy Drink
December 28th, 2013Bottled by Refresco France for the Auchan chain of supermarkets, this is a clone. It’s bitter and not that nice to be honest – and the fact I could only find it in a litre bottle made the consumption of it even worse. After the first 500ml, I got used to the taste, but you shouldn’t need to do that with a drink! It’s also pretty light on the caffeine front with only 21mg/100ml. Avoid…
Bulldog
November 27th, 2013What a nice little Red Bull clone this is. Sweet, syrupy and generally very pleasant to drink. According to the can, the brand has won the accolade of “The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise: International Trade” a number of years in a row. Even though the award was for the product’s business practises as opposed to the product itself, I’m giving it the 2013 award for “The Fizzy Wake-Up Awards best Red Bull Clone 2013”.

Planet Energy
November 23rd, 2013Cheap tasting, watery, sour, pretty much all the things I find boring and unoriginal in a typical Red Bull clone. It does have a very slight aniseed taste to it which makes it bearable, but overall I wouldn’t bother again.

Locura
November 16th, 2013Discovered in a small duty-free shop on the main street in Gibraltar, this is another Red Bull clone. It’s nice, just unoriginal. It’s a Spanish drink which I’ve never seen sold anywhere else, but then again I don’t frequent Spain that often. It’s on the sweet side, comparable to the Aldi own-brand in taste.
