Carrefour Taurine Light Force
June 22nd, 2013Is it called Psychik, or is is called Taurine Light Force? I don’t know.. but I do know that this is a very good Red Bull clone. Nice and sweet getting the balance just right especially as this is a supermarket own brand. Sadly though, it’s a supermarket own brand in France so unless you live over that way, you’ll either have to take my word for it or find yourself a French-based contact to send you one.

Shapers Orange Stimulation Drink
June 19th, 2013‘Part of the 500 calorie meal deal’ from Boots, apparently. It’s an own-brand offering from the high street store, one of two flavours they have for sale. It’s clearly aimed at the calorie conscious, providing only 16 calories per can, but it does manage to cram in actual real orange juice. That would explain the most natural orange flavour I’ve tasted in an energy drink. It’s sharp, but fortunately watered down to the point of being just about right, and it packs 32mg/100ml of caffeine. On a karmic scale – it probably balances bad-for-you with good-for-you.

Lucozade Revive – Orange with Acai
June 12th, 2013Better than the cranberry version, but not as good as the lemongrass. It really just tasted like orange Lucozade and not that special at all. I had high hopes for the new range of Lucozades, but to be honest there’s only the one of them which stands out. Go for the lemongrass flavour instead as it’s refreshing and different – if you want an orange Lucozade, get the original orange flavour instead

Hitz The Spot!
June 8th, 2013Have you ever emptied an entire packed of Skittles in to your mouth? That’s the flavour of Hitz The Spot… it’s a real mix of fruit flavours but not too bad tasting. The strength is pretty good too and as I paid only about 30p this drink turns out to be one of the best value for money products on the site.

Quick Energy – Lime
May 22nd, 2013Yum. 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.

Euro Shopper Energy Drink Sugar Free
April 6th, 2013I maybe putting this second in my list of nicest Red Bull Clones. It was very similar to Red Bull Sugar Free, but with a little bit more bitterness (a tiny eeny weeny amount more). This will give Aldi’s Red Thunder a run for its money and the deciding factors will now have to be price, availability and convenience. It’s a lot nicer than the non-sugar-free version of Euro Shopper’s Energy Drink and whether that is down to a ‘new improved’ flavour exercise that has happened since I tried the original I’m not sure – I may have to re-evaluate.

Tesco Energy Drink Sugar Free
February 9th, 2013Just like the full-fat version, the sugar free Tesco own-brand drink is watery and lacking in flavour. It’s cheap, but in this price range you’d be better going for for the Aldi, Lidl, or Euro-shopper own-brands.

Cougar Double Shot
January 26th, 2013I had very high hopes for this drink after trying the normal Cougar Lifestyle Shot. It is billed as being the same flavour and size, but with double the amount of caffeine and all of the other active ingredients. Let’s start with the good points – it wakes you up better than any other shot you’ll find. Sadly though the extra power comes at the cost of taste, and the extremely nice flavour of the original shot has been lost by the taste of all the extra ingredients.
