Pit Bull Cherry and Lime

July 3rd, 2013

I’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.

Lucozade Revive – Strawberry and Lime

June 29th, 2013

The strawberry and lime combination don’t work for me. The strawberry suffers from the sharpness of the lime, and the lime suffers from the chewy flavour of strawberry. There’s also not enough caffeine in this to be of any use in quenching my caffeine addiction so it’s little more than a thirst quencher. Original in flavour, I’ll give it points for that, but the execution isn’t as nice as the bottle looks. *Note, I’ve estimated the caffeine content as the product contains too little for them to mark it as high and state the actual content.

Quick Energy – Lime

May 22nd, 2013

Yum. I know that I have a habit of comparing drinks with freezepops, but I’m going to have to do it again. Quick Energy Lime tastes like lime flavoured freezepops. I love the flavour and this energy shot has no nasty aftertaste and no bitter during-taste either (is during-taste a known phrase? If not, copyright by me). It has a very high caffeine content too with only 5 calories per shot which sent me buzzing quickly. One of my favourite shots I reckon.

Black Energy Mojito

May 15th, 2013

It tastes like hedge. I don’t think that any energy drink should ever contain mint as an ingredient. Mint and lime to be specific, but you really can’t taste the lime. Avoid, avoid, avoid – it’s very original but for a good reason, it tastes minging.

Rip It – Lime Wrecker

April 7th, 2012

I had been looking forward to this flavour, saving it for a special moment. I was a little disappointed. That isn’t to say that this isn’t a nice drink because it really is, but I was expecting something a little more refreshing whereas Lime Wrecker tastes more like someone has poured lime cordial in to lemonade. It was good, but not as I’d expected. It did wake me up quickly though given the high caffeine and sugar content but for me it was a little on the sickly side. If you don’t appreciate food colourings then this may be the Rip It for you – it was almost clear with only a very faint green tint to it.
