POSI+IV – Strawberry and Lime

September 12th, 2015

I had high hopes for this, but it turns out that strawberry and lime do NOT go together that well – in this instance at least. It was like a badly mixed cocktail.

Tropicana Energy – Mango and Guava

August 29th, 2015

It’s just a shot of caffeinated fruit juice. I don’t much like fruit juice, so I found this horrific, but if you are after a caffeine perk without the usual energy drink flavour then this is for you. I’d be surprised if you could tell the difference between this drink and a regular juice drink.

POSI+IV – Lemon and Lime

August 8th, 2015

It tastes nice, but it’s basically diabetes in a can. According to the web site it “delivers higher levels of energy than current market leaders.” which is technically correct – it packs a whopping 62 kcal per 100ml which at least rivals Lucozade, but delivering it in a 250ml can and comparing it to other similar products it really does pack a lot more energy in the form of sugar I’m guessing from looking at the carb content.

Monster Ubermonster

June 25th, 2015

From the design of the can and the ‘brew’ tagline, along with the specifically mentioned ‘non-alcoholic’ statement, I really expected this drink to taste like non-alcoholic beer. I was very wrong – it tastes like a smooth version of normal Monster Energy. There’s a lot of this drink in the can, but fortunately it has the ‘No Fear’ style re-sealable can design so you can easily save it for later, and despite being carbonated, it’s not *too* carbonated so you won’t notice it going flat if you do save some for later. It’s apparently brewed (instead of mixed up like a normal drink?) using proprietary German technology. Vorsprung durch energy drinks.

Blue Charge Diet Lemon and Elderflower

June 20th, 2015

Light and refreshing but not much of a kick. It’s quite low in caffeine but the light lemon flavour is just right making it a pleasant experience.

Duff Energy Drink

April 11th, 2015

Given the brand of this energy drink, does anyone really care what it tastes like?? Well, I guess if you’re not just buying it for a souvenir can then you may wish to know… it tastes like orange Lucozade. That’s all! It’s obviously a lot higher in caffeine but lower in sugar than Lucozade, but the flavour is near identical. If Barney drank this he wouldn’t speak so slowly.

KX Cola Zero

March 21st, 2015

Not bad actually! Given the pretty bad taste of regular KX, their colas are alright. Okay, so it still tastes like a cheap cola, but it is packed full of caffeine and is low calorie too. Overall, not a bad choice for cola lovers.

Rockstar Supersours: Blue Raspberry

March 14th, 2015

Once again, the word ‘supersour’ is being mis-used. Yes, it’s a really nice drink which tastes like you’ve chewed a whole packet of fruit pastilles, but it’s most definitely not super sour. It’s a bit sour.

Oshee Vitamin Energy Formula: Magnesium

January 31st, 2015

Another ‘health’ drink, this time containing magnesium in addition to the guarana. And, once again, it is packed full of sugar so immediately fails the healthy test. This particular variety of the Oshee Vitamin Energy family is tropical flavoured. It’s quite a strong and sickly tropical flavour at that too, but if you like fruity drinks then you may enjoy it.
