Prime Energy Ice Pop

November 18th, 2023

It tastes exactly like the non-caffeinated version – mostly like sugary sweet cherry fizzy stuff. Maybe there’s other flavours in there too apart from cherry, like if you took a bag of Haribo, melted it down and tried to drink the mix of  sugary random fruity fizzy gunk. It’s nice, not that refreshing given its overpowering sweetness, but certainly original.

Dark Thunder Ultra Violet

November 11th, 2023

A 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.

Applied Nutrition BCAA Amino-Hydrate – Cloudy Lemonade

October 28th, 2023

Yup, it’s cloudy lemonade. There’s a slight craggy aftertaste from the sweeteners but apart from that it’s a nice classic lemonade flavour. Slightly tangy taste, on the bitter rather than sweet side but nice and unique.

3D Candy Punch

September 23rd, 2023

Cherry! In fact I drank this can the day after I tried Prime Energy Tropical and I’d have to say it’s exactly the same flavour. It’s a sweet and strong synthetic cherry flavoured drink. There’s a lot of it, and I chilled it again half-way through just to keep it at optimal drinking temperature, but I enjoyed it.

3D Citrus Mist

September 9th, 2023

I found this being sold at what looked like an American import pop-up shop in Cardiff and grabbed both flavours on offer. However, on closer inspection of the can whilst this is an American brand, it’s actually made in the UK for distribution here! It looks like the flavours available here in the UK are a little different to those in the US – this one is called Citrus Mist but according to their web site it’s called Citrus Dew in the US. Anyway, it’s really nice! A gentle and very refreshing lemon flavour in a large can, and it doesn’t tire the senses by getting too sickly. The balance of quantity and flavour is perfect and they’ve managed to create one of my favourite energy drinks in a while. It’s really in contrast to the strong, punchy and sickly flavours of the Prime Energy drinks that I’m also trying at the moment!

Protein Dynamix Mixed Berry

July 1st, 2023

It’s a nice looking can, matt silver with a nice simple design. But, it’s a quite bitter and strong flavoured drink that’s like a strong mixed berry squash.

Boost Juic’d Mango and Tropical Blitz

June 24th, 2023

The two best features of this drink are the price (£1) and the name. Boost Juic’d. I can forgive the pointless apostrophe because of the way the name rolls off the tongue. Boostjoooooced. It is just a fancily branded sugar-laden tropical energy drink though. Ok in its way, but it is just a tropical flavoured drink.

A nice mild-flavoured watermelon drink. Not too sweet or sickly, just gently fruity and easy to drink.

Braw Energy Red Cherry

May 27th, 2023

The second Braw flavour I’ve discovered. Like the Blue Raspberry one, the can is glossy black with a paper label stuck to it – quite smart but unusual. Flavour-wise it doesn’t kick you in the face, but the artificial cherry is quite nice and balanced just right. A pretty good drink for the budget price I paid (89p I think).
