Pit Bull Cherry and Lime
July 3rd, 2013I’m really not convinced on the combination of cherry and lime in this drink. The cherry flavour comes through, but it someone severely soured by the lime making it quite a bitter experience. Having tried the original Pit Bull, I could sense a theme as the underlying taste of the original was evident in this drink too, however I don’think it works as a mixer with other ingredients. Still, there are other Pit Bull cocktails to try and they could turn out to be wonderful so I shall withhold my judgement on this brand until then. Personally, I won’t be trying this again because there are many more nicer tasting drinks out there.

No Fear: Motherload Apple
June 1st, 2013Labelled as The Mother Load in a resealable can, this is just another fizzy apple squash tasting drink. It’s not a different as the Rockstar sour apple, but it’s palatable and packs quite a punch in the energy department. Apple is the new tropical – once one manufacturer does it the others follow suite so I expect to see many more apple flavoured energy drinks appear over the next few months.

Relentless Lemon Ice
May 11th, 2013A really smooth a refreshing lemon drink. Not too sharp or sweet but just right. It’s like the posh cloudy lemonade you can buy in posh supermarkets… Nothing at all like the brewed tasting original Relentless flavour. It does have quite a kick to it, possibly because it is so smooth and moreish that you drink it very quickly.

Monster Rehab Tea + Orangeade
May 4th, 2013I’m still not convinced on the use of tea as a suitable ingredient in energy drinks. Luckily, the orangeade flavour of this one mostly masks the tea flavour. It’s still there, brewing (see what I did there) at the back somewhere, but the orange-ness is a welcome overtone. Personally though, if you want an orange flavoured energy Monster, get Monster Khaos.

Rockstar Xdurance Tropical Orange
April 27th, 2013Bleurgh, another tropical drink. As expected, it’s sharp and sickly. Sorry Rockstar, I don’t like it.
Rockstar Super Sours Bubbleburst
March 23rd, 2013Hmm… I was concerned that it would taste like those cheap tubs of bright blue ‘drink’ you get from corner shops everywhere, and I wasn’t far wrong. It tastes of bubblegum, and is not very sour either which was disappointing. Having said that, I did enjoy it though! Given the name ‘super sour’, both this and the green apple flavour are far too tame in my opinion. Rockstar should have gone all out and made them proper sour so as your lips and gums peel back over your teeth. Then I’d have been really impressed.

Rockstar Super Sours Green Apple
March 16th, 2013Rockstar does it again with their original ideas. Whilst not particularly sour, it is reminiscent of the apple sour sweets you used to get when you were a child but much more palatable. I was concerned that a sour drink would be more suited to a smaller can but I was wrong – this drink was moreish and refreshing. Top marks all around!

No Fear Super Charged
October 20th, 2012Wow. Possibly the biggest buzz I’ve had from an Energy Drink in ages. My tongue went kind of numb and tingly, which I’m sure isn’t a good thing. It tasted pretty good though despite being a bit Red Bull-y… but I’m going to be kind and not stick it in the clone category. I’d recommend this drink only when you plan on not sleeping for a few days. Sadly it doesn’t have the re-sealable can like its regular sibling.

Mountain Dew Sugar Free
August 11th, 2012Finally, the great flavour of Mountain Dew, without the calories that go with it. Sadly, this is a low calorie version of the UK version of Mountain Dew (dubbed Mountain Dew Energy), but nevertheless it’s nice and refreshing on a hot day. The flavour is identical to Mountain Dew Energy – I couldn’t even tell that they’d used sweeteners instead of sugar, so the flavours they added must be pretty potent.
