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

April 2nd, 2014

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

KX Sugar Free Citrus

March 12th, 2014

More or less the same as the full-fat version – I couldn’t even taste the usual chewy sweeteners. You might as well go for the sugar free version and spend the remaining calories on a chocolate bar as far as I’m concerned because the taste was almost identical.

Voltz Energy Shot

March 1st, 2014

Does anyone else remember those lemon and orange jelly candy slices you used to get around Christmas time? They were quite thin, about an inch wide and coated in sugar? Well, that’s what this shot tastes like. It’s a pretty decent tasting drink – not sour or bitter, but sweet and citrusy (if that’s a word).

Source Sugar Free Mixed Berry

February 15th, 2014

Tart and sickly. I suppose it’s okay for a budget supermarket own-brand, but it brings nothing original to the energy drinks market and isn’t particularly to my taste either.

Vitabiotics Wellwoman

February 8th, 2014

This tastes like it must be good for you, and by that I mean it tastes bloody awful. The can claims it contains Elderberry, green tea, grape seed, artichoke, pomegranate and cranberry – I can only tell you that the combination is not good. Maybe you do have to be a woman to drink it, perhaps it tastes better then? But, in my opinion, it tastes like someone has filtered compost and canned the residue. I know it has a decent caffeine hit, but couldn’t tell you the exact amount because there’s no information on the can. That means that it doesn’t contain enough to warrant the warning – but the caffeine is hidden amongst the guarana and green tea extracts.
