Monster Ultra Peachy Keen
July 13th, 2024Another cracker from Monster. I hate peach, but I like this! As (almost) always they’ve made it super smooth tasting and have got the balance of flavouring just right. It’s sweet enough to overcome the tartness of the peach and overall quite refreshing.

Virtue Clean Energy Orange
July 6th, 2024Another 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.

Monster Reserve: Orange Dreamsicle
June 29th, 2024Orange seems to be making a bit of a come-back for 2024 and I’m seeing a few new orange-flavoured drinks around. This Orange Monster is really quite a smooth tasting drink. The orange flavour is mellow without any sharp edges but not weak – it’s almost like a slightly creamy tasting orange (weird, huh?) but it works well.
Monster Reserve: White Pineapple
June 22nd, 2024I’m not usually a fan of pineapple. Don’t get me wrong, I love the flavour it adds to the lemon chicken sauce at my local Chinese takeaway, but on its own as a single flavour I’m not that keen. But… Monster have taken just the sweet top-notes of pineapple flavouring for their White Pineapple drink. This drink is sweet and smooth with no tangy or bitter taste at all. The description says it’s “white pineapple” also known as “sugarloaf”, so perhaps it’s this particular type of pineapple which gives it this smooth flavour rather than the regular varieties I’ve tried as actual fruit? I don’t know, I’m not a pineapple expert. Anyway… really worth a try if you can find a can of this.
Let’s Get Ready To Rumble Sugar Free
June 15th, 2024In a surprise twist the sugar free version of this drink tastes totally different to the full fat version! It’s still quite watery, but instead of the tangy caramel, it’s a more subtle fruity flavour. Sweet, but no dodgy aftertaste and very drinkable.

Let’s Get Ready To Rumble
June 8th, 2024Helping Michael Buffer (famed ring announcer) earn a bit more cash from his famous catchphrase, Let’s Get Ready To Rumble Energy is a licensed product which is sadly nothing more than a cloned energy drink underneath. The flavour is watery with notes of caramel. Perfectly nice to drink but it’s the same as many other promotionally branded drinks. In fact it’s made by RBM who also manufacture Furocity.
Alani Nu Breezeberry
June 1st, 2024Breezeberry??? Nope, BLUE RASPBERRY… please, Alani, put the actual real flavours on the can somewhere! I’d have still bought it, but your mysteriousness is just annoying. Yeah, it’s nice, it’s very sweet and it’s packed full of caffeine.

Alani Nu Kimade by Kim K
May 18th, 2024What would an energy drink taste like if Kim Kardashian decided to make one. Well, that answer is ‘pink’ apparently. The can itself doesn’t say what the flavour actually is but looking on Alani’s web site it reckons it’s lemon and strawberry. Yeah, pink lemonade. It doesn’t taste like normal pink lemonade that I’m used to, I’d say it’s far more on the strawberry side than lemon. It’s nice, but quite sickly!
