Kong Strong Colossus: Orange, Passion Fruit, Guava

October 19th, 2024

It’s a tropical energy drink. Badge it up however you like by listing the fruits used but at the end of the day it’s a huge (colossal?) can of tropical energy drink! Not bad, and from the budget supermarket Lidl so a decent price too.

Reign Storm: Valencia Orange

September 28th, 2024

Nice and fresh. The orange (I can’t vouch for the Valencian origin of those oranges) flavour is balanced well, not massively strong but not weak and watery either. Quite an interesting design for the can too, taking design hints from those other brands which are targeting the health market. You still have the large Reign logo, but you now have the silver background and actual pictures of fruit!

Body Fuel Orange

July 27th, 2024

I bog standard regular orange flavoured drink. You couldn’t even tell that it’s an energy drink to be honest, it just tastes like a slightly fizzy orange squash. It tastes ok, but it’s not a premium product really

Virtue Clean Energy Orange

July 6th, 2024

Another orange energy drink for 2024. This time it’s a lot more ‘healthy’ tasting, and by that I mean it’s a bit sharp and tangy, in my mind I’d call the flavour ‘bare’! It’s sweet, but not overly, and certainly tastes more like a raw fruit flavour than a sugar-laden cordial.

Raptor Orange Mango

February 10th, 2024

Well, it’s not so much orange as mango, or tropical really. It’s a large can of tropical energy drink. Quite smooth and refreshing but other than the funky dinosaur can design there isn’t much that make this drink stand out.

Ghost Orange Cream

February 3rd, 2024

Orange Cream, is that a thing? Maybe it’s an American thing because I’ve not heard of such a flavour before. I’ll tell you what this drink does remind me of though, did you ever go to a Little Chef restaurant as a child and get offered an orange lollipop after your meal? They were rectangular, orange on the outside and white on the inside and somehow stripped the skin from the roof of your mouth? Well, that’s the flavour – strong, orange, and sugary! Probably the best of the three flavours of Ghost I have tried so far.

Applied Nutrition BCAA Amino-Hydrate – Orange Burst

November 4th, 2023

Just a typical orange flavoured energy drink, nothing special and certainly it doesn’t stand out like the cloudy lemonade flavour. Mild and a bit boring really 🙁

Prime Energy Drink Orange Mango

August 12th, 2023

Once again Prime Energy like the stronger flavours in their drinks. This is a super-sweet orange flavoured drink, I didn’t really detect much mango in there but possibly it’s being lost in the overall strength of the drink’s powerful flavour. I found it quite sickly to drink personally, and not that refreshing. The can design and branding is premium though with the glossy black top and bold colouring.

Nutramino Heat – Orange

July 15th, 2023

Yes, orange… nothing else even slightly coming through here. It’s a synthetic orange flavour, a bit like Lucozade but less watered down. I need to repeat my warning with this brand though – assume this innocent looking 330ml can is really the equivalent of about 600ml of Red Bull in terms of caffeine. Don’t go downing it too quickly or having extra cans later that day because it will give you a decent kick for several hours!
