Carrefour Psychik Guarana

June 4th, 2014

Quite low on caffeine, but that doesn’t matter as it tastes very good. It’s fruity but not in a clone way, so I’m going to let it off with that because I enjoyed it. It’s a supermarket own-brand drink with a difference so that gets extra points in my book.

Crazy Devil

March 29th, 2014

It’s a clone, and not a particularly interesting one. It’s nice tasting and as a bonus sugar-free by default (I’m assuming there’s no full fat version.) Discovered on the (German??) island of Majorca, this is a German energy drink.

XTREM

March 26th, 2014

It’s a clone on the sweet side. Pretty nice tasting but nothing special. Then again, why did I expect from a can with the silver showing through so predominantly… just saying, it usually means it is a budget drink. I stumbled across this one in a vending machine in Madrid airport.

Burn: Fruits of the Forest

January 29th, 2014

Or Frutos Do Bosque com Sumo as it says on the can. That last bit, according to my phone’s translation software is “with Jeremy”. I don’t think the translator is working properly. It’s average tasting though, quite berry like, but it gives you a massive kick.

Burn: Blue Refresh

January 25th, 2014

I was expecting something a bit like a raspberry freeze-pop but it was nothing like that. It’s more like a mixed fruit drink with a sharp touch to the flavour. It packs a really recent punch but tastes average. At least it is pretty original though.

Aliada Energy Drink

December 11th, 2013

Surprisingly not another Red Bull clone! I’m not sure if it’s a supermarket own brand or not, but it is very low in caffeine. It tastes quite sweet and fruity – Not much of a kick but still tasty.

28 White

December 7th, 2013

This is just the sugar-free version of 28 Black. It tastes more or less the same so it gets the same scores! It also contains the recently hyped Stevia (read about that here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevia) and is the first energy drink I’ve seen to contain this sugar substitute. I expect to see a lot more Stevia based drinks in the near future.

28 Black

December 4th, 2013

Sharp and fruity. Not to my taste but I’d say this was a mixture of berries and tropical fruits. It reckons it’ll give me 28 hours of energy and there’s even a graph on the side of the can to scientifically prove it beyond reasonable doubt. Nope… not convinced myself, but it’s a potent drink.

Locura

November 16th, 2013

Discovered in a small duty-free shop on the main street in Gibraltar, this is another Red Bull clone. It’s nice, just unoriginal. It’s a Spanish drink which I’ve never seen sold anywhere else, but then again I don’t frequent Spain that often. It’s on the sweet side, comparable to the Aldi own-brand in taste.
