I’m still not convinced on the use of tea as a suitable ingredient in energy drinks. Luckily, the orangeade flavour of this one mostly masks the tea flavour. It’s still there, brewing (see what I did there) at the back somewhere, but the orange-ness is a welcome overtone. Personally though, if you want an orange flavoured energy Monster, get Monster Khaos.

Bleurgh, another tropical drink. As expected, it’s sharp and sickly. Sorry Rockstar, I don’t like it.
Pretty good actually! As opposed to the Tropical Orange flavour of the canned Rockstar Xdurance, this bottle is a normal orange flavour, much like Lucozade Energy Orange. Refreshing and sweet. I’d prefer it in a can to be honest because I find drinks keep cooler for longer like that, but otherwise it’s more convenient as a 500ml option as you can seal it up and save some for later.

Cheap tasting and probably not worth the effort. It doesn’t quite achieve the optimum sweetness/sharpness ratio and leans on the sharp side making the drink a little unpleasant to consume – it doesn’t taste awful, but it could have been a lot better.
Another nasty tasting bitter orange energy shot! It works well because I was at maximum alertness for a good few hours, but I also couldn’t get rid of the taste during that time either.

It’s just fizzy orange squash really. A nice drink which is low in caffeine. This is Aldi’s own-brand equivalent of Lucozade Energy Orange and compared to that drink it’s much stronger in flavour. It’s also very good value by comparison too and much better tasting than the more expensive Powerade Energy Orange. Not much of a wake-up factor to it though…
I was slightly disappointed that this drink didn’t have the usual Monster flavour in the background. It was okay, mostly tasting quite like orange with perhaps the other fruit juices in there somewhere. Not one of my favourites then, but I’d say it is still worth trying.

Imagine a Vitamin C tablet, one of those chewable ones that you only eat when you have a cold. That’s the type of orange flavour that this drink has. It’s considerably stronger in flavour and caffeine than its rival, Lucozade, and personally I don’t think it tastes as good, but it does of course wake you up much more!

Does anyone remember being given Calpol as a child? I’m not talking about the original purple liquid, I mean the Calpol for older children. It was orange flavoured and drinking Relentless Inferno immediately reminded me of orange Calpol. That’s no t a bad thing, but it’s the most accurate way I can describe the flavour. It doesn’t have the usual background taste of Relentless at all, it just has a very sweet syrupy orange flavour. It gets quite sickly towards the end of the huge can, and is not ideal as a refreshing drink for a hot day. I’d suggest it is suitable for sipping slowly over a few hours while working away at your coursework or latest project deadline… slow is the key here.
