Brite: Pineapple Mango
December 14th, 2024Much better than Raspberry Mint! This is however just a regular tropical tasting energy drink so what you sacrifice in originality you gain in being drinkable! It’s sweet and tasty and a reasonably sized 330ml can.
Brite: Raspberry Mint
December 7th, 2024I don’t shop at Ocado very often, maybe just once or twice a year as a treat and for a bit of variety. But getting a delivery from them means that I can take that opportunity to try some more unusual energy drinks that they sell. This is the first of three flavours of ‘Brite’ that I’m trying. Raspberry Mint is strange. It tastes neither like raspberry nor like mint, but what you end up with is some sort of tangy fruitiness. I’m not a fan of this one to be honest, it’s watery but still sickly and a bit bitter. But… two more flavours to try so perhaps the others are less strange.
Red Bull Winter Edition (2024): Iced Vanilla Berry
November 30th, 2024Look, I know, it sounds horrible… vanilla and berries together in an energy drink like some sort of fizzy ice cream concoction, but hear me out on this. It turns out that this 2024 Winter edition of Red Bull is actually one of their best tasting drinks in a long time! It’s subtly flavoured, very sweet but not sharp or tart at all. The vanilla works really well to smooth out the gentle berry flavour. Whilst it isn’t particularly refreshing, it’s a nice smooth and fruity energy drink!
Tenzing Lime and Mint
November 23rd, 2024Someone out there must like the combination of lime and mint because a lot of drinks are coming out with this flavour. I think it’s supposed to be a bit like a mojito? I find the combination strange and sickly personally but other people have mentioned to me that’s it’s quite refreshing so I guess my opinion is not the popular one!
Warrior Rage Energy Shot: Energy Burst
November 16th, 2024When you open this bottle you get an aroma not too different to Calpol. Which is a good thing because everyone loves the taste of Calpol! The taste is of course both extremely sweet and bitter at the same time, which is what you have to expect from an energy shot really. It reminds me a lot of the original Red Bull energy shot from several years ago, when energy shots were all the rage. Rage 🙂 get it? Cuz this is called Warrior Rage? No? Oh ok, well, a good energy shot, sorry for the ramblings!
Bob Ross Positive Prussian Blue Raspberry
November 2nd, 2024I think we can all agree that this is what Bob Ross would have wanted, his own range of energy drinks. This is a US import and the Americans know how to make an energy drink. Lots of high fructose corn syrup and the most artificial of flavourings and colours possible! Blue raspberry at its synthetic finest.

Reign Storm: Kiwi Blend
October 26th, 2024I don’t like apple, luckily the kiwi flavour has toned down the appleness and this is an ok drink for the summer. Fresh and fruity without being sickly.

Rockstar Zero Sugar Blueberry
October 12th, 2024Quite a light flavoured blueberry drink. It’s neither watery nor too strong, a good balance and zero calories too. Blueberry is a good flavour for energy drinks I think because it’s different enough from the regular mixed fruit flavours but doesn’t have the harshness of other berry flavoured drinks.

Reign Storm: Peach Nectarine
October 5th, 2024Another one of what I think is intended to be Reign’s healthier-looking drinks with pictures of real fruit on the front. I’m not a big fan of peach drinks but this was sort of ok. I mean, it was too peachy for me but if you like peach then I guess the balance of flavour is pretty good!
