V Sugar Free

August 2nd, 2014

Just as I remember the full fat V energy drink, this sugar free one is also on the right side of sweet and sharp. Being a guarana based drink, I am still assuming that this is where the bulk of the flavouring comes from – and as I’m now writing this review having tasted Guarana Antarctica I can say that there are certainly similarities between them.

KX Still Red Berry Sugar Free

July 12th, 2014

Very, very watery! I think there’s a reason that most fruity energy drinks are carbonated, and that’s because without those bubbles tingling your nerve endings you just don’t get much flavour out of the drink at all. It’s like a very weak berry flavoured squash. Probably better for drinking if you’re about to do some strenuous exertion of some sorts, but other than that it’s not up to much.

Effect Zero

May 28th, 2014

Really not as nice as the full fat version. You’d usually expect there to be a similarity but in this case it’s pretty much a different flavour of energy drink. Much more bitter tasting and quite cheap tasting despite the premium price and ‘high quality’ blurb splashed over the front of the can.

Evolve Sugar Free

May 10th, 2014

I’m not sure if this is related to the other Evolve (full fat version) I tasted a while back, but it’s not how I remember it! This Evolve Sugar Free drink is a clone, but it’s very nice. Not metallic at all as I remember the other one being. I’d highly recommend you try it if you can find it.

M Energy Drink Sugar Free

May 7th, 2014

Just another sugar free energy drink. Better than Euro Shopper is now as in recent months I’m pretty sure they have changed their recipe, but still just a clone.

KX Fiery Sugar Free

April 19th, 2014

Just as nauseating as the full fat version with the same fiery aftertaste, much as you might expect from a drink named as such. I can’t tell it’s sugar free from the taste when compared with the sugared version so go and read that review for my full critique.

Red Bull: Zero Calories

April 9th, 2014

There are two things I need to say about this drink. Firstly, it doesn’t really taste like Red Bull, and Secondly it is not zero calories! It’s close, at 1.8 calories/100ml, but that’s not ZERO in my opinion. It tastes sharp and tart, but not like the usual smooth Red Bull flavour in the regular or sugar free varieties. I’d go so far to say that I’d class this as a bad clone if I didn’t know better! They’ve chosen a dark grey colour for the can which looks pretty cool, but to be honest for the difference in calorific value of about 6 calories, you’re much better off going for good old sugar free – it tastes like actual Red Bull for starters!

KX Red Berry Sugar Free

Just as with the ordinary KX Red Berry, it’s very strong and overpowering. Not to my taste but it is pretty original.

Crazy Devil

March 29th, 2014

It’s a clone, and not a particularly interesting one. It’s nice tasting and as a bonus sugar-free by default (I’m assuming there’s no full fat version.) Discovered on the (German??) island of Majorca, this is a German energy drink.
