Alani Nu Cosmic Stardust
May 25th, 2024You’ve got to love the marketing people for not actually telling you what the drink flavours really are… Cosmic Stardust???? Nope, it’s grape flavour! I do love grape soda so for me this is lovely, but I know a lot of people find grape drinks too sickly which I get. Anyway, loads of caffeine in this one, no sugar, so a decent fake-energy kick without as much tooth-rot 🙂

Dark Thunder Ultra Violet
November 11th, 2023A really nice and smooth grape-flavoured energy drink. It’s lower in caffeine than many other large-can drinks, which I think is no bad thing really. You get to enjoy the drink for longer without getting too jittery by the end! The flavour isn’t too strong, but very smooth as I said and no bitterness at all. A great addition to Aldi’s line of Monster-wannabee drinks.

Hell Red Grape
October 22nd, 2022Basically a grape soda! Really nice but certainly not refreshing. Very different to the majority of other energy drinks just like the regular Hell energy drink is.
Monster Ultra Violet
March 31st, 2018As with pretty much all Monster drinks, your only clues as to the flavour of the drink are the colour of the can and the cryptic blurb on the side. This purple can (violet?? that’s purple…) describes the flavour as “crisp and refreshing, with a sweet and tart pixie dust flavour powered with our Monster Energy Blend”. I can confirm (to the best of my taste-bud ability) that this is grape flavour. Well at least it appears to evoke the flavour of grape soda in my mind anyway. In the UK, grape soda is available but it’s certainly not a common soft drink therefore the flavour is much more of a novelty to me than US readers of this blog may appreciate. BEcause of that, I found it quite different and interesting, even enjoyable!

Vitabiotics Wellman
September 27th, 2014I couldn’t finish this can, it’s just as flaming’ awful as the female ‘Wellwoman’ drink. This is specifically designed for men, so probably contains engine oil and sweat, although the ingredients only talk about things like green tea extract, guarana and artichoke. The main juices are apple and grape but I couldn’t taste that. Most of it went down the sink

Amp Energy Traction
December 25th, 2013Wow, I do like grape flavoured energy drinks because they’re really quite different. This isn’t the best rendition, but it’s nice for a change. Very sweet, very sickly, and packs a whole punch of wake-up-ness.

Rip It – G-Force Sugar Free
August 28th, 2013Again, credit to Rip It for making their sugar-free and regular varieties of drinks taste the same. No chewy feeling from the sweeteners at all in this drink making it just as pleasant as the regular G-Force. Other than that, identical to it if a little lower in the caffeine department.

Crunk Grape-Acai
June 23rd, 2012I was taken straight back to my childhood when I took a sip of this one. Many years back, on the way to school, we used to buy zillions of packets of some sour ball sweets (can’t remember the name). We’d have daily competitions of who could fit the most in their mouth before gagging… oh the memories. Anyway, this drink reminds me of the sour grape flavoured sweets we had. Might not be the nicest tasting but the memories filled in the gaps! If you can find a can, try it and maybe you’ll take a trip down memory lane too.

Rip It – G-Force
November 2nd, 2011A massive can yet again, but a very nice flavour somewhat similar to Crunk’s Grape-Acai flavour and had the same childhood memory restoring effects. Very moreish and refreshing especially in the hot weather but higher in caffeine and calories than the Crunk alternative. They both tasted very similar, but G-Force is also available in sugar-free so you can sample this without the sugar hit too. I’ll review the sugar free version soon, but in the meantime you need to get hold of one or both of these grape flavoured drinks – very different.
