Now this is much more inline with what you would expect from a tropical flavoured drink: mango, apricot and ‘tropical’ according to the details on the can. I’m a bit concerned about the random ‘tropical’ item in that list, I’m non-the-wiser as to what that might actually be, but there’s no mistaking the tangy and sharp tropical flavouring you’ll be familiar with from every other tropical drink out there.
Smooth and fruity! I really enjoyed this, it was refreshing and interesting without getting too sickly I’d definitely get this one again. Conveniently the can says that this is watermelon and strawberry flavour and I reckon the strawberry is what’s making this so good.

This is basically WKD Blue, hopefully without the alcohol though. If you’re after a flavour description then WKD Blue is the closest I can think of. It’s slightly sharp and refreshing, not like your normal blue raspberry, definitely a lot more like WKD than anything else!

A chance visit to Iceland (the shop, sadly not the country) flagged up an expansion of the Furocity energy drink range so of course I had to try them. I’ve decided to start with Lemon Blast because I love lemon drinks. Helpfully, all of the Furocity drinks provide a proper description of the flavour on the can amongst the small print, so this one is actually lemon, lime and mint. You can’t directly taste the mint but what it does is give the drink a slight freshness that balances out the sourness of the citrus fruits. This means it doesn’t need to be as sweet as most other lemon drinks are. I’d say they have found an interesting and winning way of cutting sugar!
Another energy drink discovered in a foreign port. Well, actually, this time I found it in a shop in Falmouth, UK, but it was a US import. You normally associate Toxic Waste branded products with being really sour, but this one really wasn’t that sour. Ok, there was the background flavour of Toxic Waste products that you’d expect but overall it was basically just a blue raspberry flavoured drink. Quite smooth and easy to drink, no back of the throat sourness that I was expecting at all sadly.

It’s a bit like the white Monster but with a slight twist. Blueberry and lemon, so it’s a tangy version of a blueberry drink. Refreshing and very heavy on the caffeine.

I don’t like apple, luckily the kiwi flavour has toned down the appleness and this is an ok drink for the summer. Fresh and fruity without being sickly.

Quite a light flavoured blueberry drink. It’s neither watery nor too strong, a good balance and zero calories too. Blueberry is a good flavour for energy drinks I think because it’s different enough from the regular mixed fruit flavours but doesn’t have the harshness of other berry flavoured drinks.

Another one of what I think is intended to be Reign’s healthier-looking drinks with pictures of real fruit on the front. I’m not a big fan of peach drinks but this was sort of ok. I mean, it was too peachy for me but if you like peach then I guess the balance of flavour is pretty good!
