Rockstar Pure Zero Fruit Punch
February 5th, 2014Yay! It’s another drink that tastes like a Swizzels Matlow Double Dip! I love it, it’s a very synthetic and sugary tasting mixed fruit drink which fizzes itself down, yet contains only 4 calories per 100ml. Rockstar do seem to put in a lot of effort with their non-standard energy drink flavours and their range contains many of my personal favourites which includes this one. Even a lot of effort has gone in to the can which oozes quality with its dual texture surface.

Burn: Fruits of the Forest
January 29th, 2014Or Frutos Do Bosque com Sumo as it says on the can. That last bit, according to my phone’s translation software is “with Jeremy”. I don’t think the translator is working properly. It’s average tasting though, quite berry like, but it gives you a massive kick.
Burn: Blue Refresh
January 25th, 2014I was expecting something a bit like a raspberry freeze-pop but it was nothing like that. It’s more like a mixed fruit drink with a sharp touch to the flavour. It packs a really recent punch but tastes average. At least it is pretty original though.
Amp Energy Overdrive
December 21st, 2013Have 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.

Amp Energy Elevate
December 18th, 2013Synthetically berry. This tastes of America… it’s one of two very synthetic flavours I associate with energy drinks from the USA, the other being grape. I like the taste but it’s nothing original any more and can be found in the Rip It and Crunk ranges. If you’ve never tried one of those equivalents then give this one a go.

Amp Energy (UK)
December 14th, 2013It’s been a while since I tried the US version of Amp, so I can’t be 100% sure whether or not it tastes the same. It’s quite citrusy, with an almost pear-drop hint at the back of the tongue when you drink it. Now that I think about it, I don’t think it can taste the same as the US version. Looking back at that review I said how smooth the taste was and how similar it tasted to Mountain Dew. I’d have to say that this UK version does not remind me of Mountain Dew despite the logo plastered all over the can. It’s pretty good still, but I have better memories of the US version. I should also mention that whilst this drink is no where near low calorie, it is low by comparison to other similar drinks. With only 26kcal/100ml, it’s considerably lower than most other drinks which average at about 45kcal/100ml

28 White
December 7th, 2013This is just the sugar-free version of 28 Black. It tastes more or less the same so it gets the same scores! It also contains the recently hyped Stevia (read about that here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevia) and is the first energy drink I’ve seen to contain this sugar substitute. I expect to see a lot more Stevia based drinks in the near future.

28 Black
December 4th, 2013Sharp and fruity. Not to my taste but I’d say this was a mixture of berries and tropical fruits. It reckons it’ll give me 28 hours of energy and there’s even a graph on the side of the can to scientifically prove it beyond reasonable doubt. Nope… not convinced myself, but it’s a potent drink.
Go Fast! Energy Shot
November 20th, 2013Bitter, but then that’s what you usually expect from an energy shot. Sadly it tastes nothing like its canned brother, but it does wake you up pretty quick.
