Tornado: Ice

December 5th, 2015

Honestly, I had to look up this drink on their web site in order to find out what flavour ‘Ice’ is. It turns out that it’s Grapefruit and Lemon, so it’s no wonder I couldn’t guess the combination. (Note: I’ve realised that the can actually mentions this too, I should have looked more closely!) It’s tangy and fresh, quite nice, but very sweet. The can also has the lift and slide style re-sealable can which is tricky to use.

Monster Ultra Citron

November 21st, 2015

A complete winner. Zero calories and a fresh citrus taste. It’s not as harsh as lemon, and not too sweet. A very smooth and refreshing drink which packs a decent caffeine kick. Definitely one for sporty energy drink drinkers.

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.

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.

No Fear Citrus Storm

March 28th, 2015

I found this drink in Carrefour in Spain, complete with a UK price marked can and Spanish nutrition stickers. It was quite nice, but a bit too sweet if comparing it to other lemon/lime energy drinks. I’d place it somewhere in the middle, but Relentless probably has the lead at the moment in the citrus drinks league table. But having said that, it was perfectly adequate overall.

Boost Energy Sugar Free Pink Lemonade

February 14th, 2015

This drink reminds me of holidays in Ireland. Pink lemonade is everywhere there, and this particular variant is really nice and refreshing. Drink it as cold as possible though – even slightly warm and it starts to get sickly.

Lucozade Energy Lemon

May 18th, 2013

Wow! This makes a change to the usually watery tasting Lucozade Energy products. The taste of lemon is sweet, strong, tangy and refreshing making this possibly the best tasting Lucozade in the range. The lemon flavour is similar to the taste of a traditional lemonade – possibly on the synthetic side, but pretty much nailing an ideal balance. Strength-wise, most of the kick in this drink comes from the sugar, as you can see from the very high calorie content but low caffeine content. This does mean that you may end up with a head-ache and feeling a bit groggy a few hours later but I reckon it’s worth the downer for the occasional treat…

Relentless Lemon Ice

May 11th, 2013

A 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.

Lucozade Sport Elite Citrus

May 1st, 2013

Brilliant! I have missed this drink – it used to be called Lucozade Fuel+Focus and it was my running drink of choice. Non-carbonated, sweet lemon flavour, and caffeine too, it was brilliant to keep you going. Thankfully they’ve brought it back and rebranded it as Lucozade Sport Elite (Citrus… there’s also an Orange version).
