Battery Remix
March 9th, 2024Quite often the combo of lime and strawberry in a drink can be slightly too sour, but Battery have got the mix just right. All this drink needs now is a glass full of crushed ice and a couple of shots of rum to make it the perfect strawberry daiquiri.

TØRST Festival Energi Utopia
March 2nd, 2024Discovered in a supermarket in Norway, I picked this one because I initially thought you perhaps pronounced the name TRST in the same way an Irish person might pronounce ‘thirst’. But, it looks like it’s just a stylised anomaly because the actual drink’s name is TØRST (you can see the Ø hidden behind the TRST on the logo). I’m not sure if this is a special edition flavour called Festival Energi Utopia, or if it’s just affiliated with a festival named ‘Utopia’ for promotional reasons, but it’s not really a special flavour. I’m putting this down as a clone as it tastes like a regular own-brand drink. If I had to describe the taste I would say that there are notes of aniseed with a slight tang of burnt caramel. It’s very nice, don’t get me wrong, but it doesn’t have a stand-out unique flavour.
Day & Nite
February 17th, 2024Found in a small supermarket in Haugesund, Norway. As with most of the Norwegian drinks I saw, this has a premium can design and heavy price tag to go with it (doesn’t everything in Norway?). Sadly inside it’s just a standard sugar-laden energy drink. It’s sweet and slightly tangy, which is very nice, but it’s still a generic flavoured drink much like any supermarket own-brand. If anything, it reminds me a bit of the original Euro Shopper energy drink.
NOCCO Paere
November 5th, 2016Liquid pear drops, that’s the only way to describe this drink. The first sip is nice, but it’s too overpowering after about half a can. Even the fact that it’s very low in calories doesn’t make up for that, but it is super-full of caffeine.

NJIE Aloe Vera Strawberry & Watermelon
October 29th, 2016I had hoped that this strawberry & watermelon flavoured drink would be sweet and fresh, but something, possibly the Aloe Vera, made it bitter and not that nice. I managed the whole can (so you guys owe me now) because it’s low in calories and supposedly a bit good for my insides. Aloe Vera should make my colon nice and soft or something, I dunno 🙂

Red Bull Summer Edition (Kiwismak/Kiwi-Apple)
October 22nd, 2016I’ve never tried a kiwi flavoured drink before, and Red Bull have managed this really well. It’s sweet, fruity, but subtle and easy to drink. There’s no nasty aftertaste, and you still get the Red Bull kick you expect.
Burn Passion Punch
October 8th, 2016Not bad at all! It’s really sweet and tropical, but the balance is just right and it’s pleasant to drink. A larger than normal can and packed full of sugar, it’s not one for regular consumption though.

Burn Lemon Ice
October 1st, 2016I’m a massive fan of lemon energy drinks and this is no disappointment. It’s pretty much Lemon Fanta with caffeine and goes down a treat. The can is larger than normal UK energy drinks (at 355ml) and of course includes the associated increase in caffeine and sugar as a consequence.
Battery Twisted
September 24th, 2016It’s a massive tropical drink and is so much nicer than its plain ‘Battery’ companion. It’s still just a generic drink though with not much going for it. If it had been purchased in the UK it’d probably have cost about 99p max, but as it came from Norway it was closer to £3.
