Big Jack: Orange

Taste- I have never seen or tasted anything more orange in my life. Its so orange that you cant even compare it to your typical orange soda. Its made with natural sugar and just 29 grams but you sure cant miss it, along with the in your face flavor. It doesn't have a "bad" flavor and I like energy drinks that taste powerful, but this is too much.

RATING-6.5/10

Buzz- Didn't really do much for me. Usually when they taste this strong, they're trying to cover up a lot of ingredients, not that this doesn't have a fair amount. 947 mgs taurine. 150 mgs glucuronolactone. 100 mgs ginseng. 48 mgs inositol. 25mgs l-carnitine. 81 mgs caffeine. 20 mgs niacin (which apparently when in energy drinks gives you cancer now?) 5 mgs B6 and pantothenic acid and 4.8 mgs vitamin B12.

Big Jack: Yellow

This drink is so damn yellow it stained my shirt. As soon as I opened it, it splashed on my nice white shirt. I totally forgot about these drinks and I was clueless that they made other flavors. But dont get excited, I found these at big lots of course.

Taste- An over powered citrus. Its as strong as the color. A little too much for even me. If you think a monster is sweet and over bearing you need to try this.

X games: Wild Berry

So I was walking through big lots with my friend cat saying how energy drinks have hit rock bottom and there isn't even any at the closout stores, when I set my eyes ones this immediately after and went crazy like usual.

Taste- I want to like it a lot but there is just something holding me back. Its got the red bull taste (probably just from vitamins) with a berry flavor. I always said how I was they made different red bull flavored drinks, Ive only tasted at few at most but they were always great. This one is just a little too "dry" if I can find a word to describe it, but still unique.

RATING-7/10

Buzz- I like this, it boasts about being taurine free. 876 mgs gaurana, caffeine, ginko bilboba, ginseng and echinacea flower. It was a nice clean buzz from the natural real working ingredients but also fast with the gaurana and caffeine. All the sugar really didn't help though and while it has the perfect ingredients its not enough to meet my standards.

Red Bull: Zero Carb

I can finally show you guys my costume Red Bull Nike Dunks, and not as big of a deal of course, but still a big deal. The first new Red Bull here in the states since the originals! Too bad its not a interesting flavor like strawberry or some soda flavor. Hey look I'm actually reviewing a Red Bull and not a clone!

Taste- It just looks depressing and dull. Like who wants to drink a gray colored can that they know is zero calories. I'm telling you company's if you want energy drinks to blow up again we need sugary delicious flavors! The rehabs and hydration's and everything those company's are doing is great but it time to go back, you set the example for other lesser company's, now its their turn. Anyways This drink is really great. Its way better than sugar free Red Bull. In fact there's no point for that drink anymore, and a less need for the original if you can drink this without sugar. Its got the same Red Bull taste that's so addicting with no aspartame taste. I didn't expect this but good job Red Bull. It sure took you awhile.

RATING-8/10

Buzz- After all these crappy German RB clone reviews I can review a legit one and not say "Your typical RB blend" even though it still is. 100% niacin. 250% Vit.B6. 80% B12. 50% pantothenic acid and 80 mgs caffeine. The original masterpiece that doesn't really compare to any of the big drinks now. At least its not getting crazier and were adding more and more caffeine.

NRGY

Ive seen the stupid spelling like this before. The correct spelling is NRG. This should go on one of those fail pictures. Energy drink fail.

Taste- So I expect it to be bad just because of the huge typo but you should never judge an energy drink by the name.. Even if it makes no sense. Its actually a kind of decent RB clone. I enjoyed drinking it, its pretty sweet with no "dust" taste.

RATING-6/10

Buzz- So sick of writing the same reviews basically. Glad its almost over. You got all you B vitamins and 32 mgs of caffeine.

Speedstar

I don't get how the 7 words on the front of the can are English but everything else is German.

Taste- Everything about this drink is generic. The power of energy? You think that's clever? The taste of think is no better than how the can looks.

RATING-4.5/10

Buzz- 2 mgs pantothenic acid, vitamin B6 and B12. 32 mgs caffeine.

Burn

Ive been waiting for this one for awhile. It seems like the most popular energy drink across seas. Probably because its produced by Coke.

Taste- For some reason I didn't think it would be a Red Bull clone, or maybe I was just hoping it wasn't. But it was and it wasn't too bad. Kind of on the sweeter side with less B vitamin taste.

RATING-5.5/10

Buzz- Tried looking on the website for nutrition info but this sentence was all it gave me. "Burn gives you the fuel, the energy to make a creative mark in this world". Sorry guys but I'm guessing Red Bull ingredients?

Killer Fish

Cool can. Hot drink.

Taste- Cant tell if this is my mind playing tricks on me or what but this seems like a spicy red bull. It just seems hot in two ways, a very slight burning sensation and as if the drink was made in the desert and feels hot. But I drank it cold. I'm pretty sure both of these are coming from my head since the can says hot. If not I guess its something unique? If so its just a bad Red Bull clone.

RATING-4.5/10

Buzz- Cant we find a clone out there with a energy blend not also the same as Red Bulls? Why doesn't everything have to be so uniform! .26 mgs vitamin B610 mgs bioton and 1.2 mgs vitamin B12. 32 mgs caffeine.

Drank: Island Time

I really love these drinks. I wish they were more readily available. I found this one in St. Luis. Purple drank really worked for me so I'm putting this one to the test.

Taste- Many wouldn't like it at all but if you take it and try to enjoy the unique flavor its alright. It goes with this kind of drink for sure, not too sugary and "pop" like. It actually reminds me of drinking flowers. Which are indeed in this drink. If you drink it after eating something its a little better, kind of brings a creamy finishing taste.And the drink isn't cherry or anything just because the cans red. That can always trick your mind.

RATING-6/10

Sluzz- I got back from a intense workout about 45 minuets ago, ate a high protein meal and had this in the middle so I was still halfway pumped from working out but starting chill mode. Perfect time to put this to the test. It has Valerian root, rose hips and melatonin. I know for a fact all three of those work great, especially melatonin because its the actual chemical in your brain that puts you to sleep (too bad there is only 1 mgs of it and you need about 10 for any kind of results). Also 100% of all your b vitamins? Who knows why, that should be in a energy drink. But anyways this drink is like a drug to me, I feel like I will pass out if I finish it. It doesn't show enough ingredients to work. Maybe they put something illegal that they don't list but I'm about to crash right after this review. I don't want to but I have to give it a 10. Dont drink this and drive!

Mega Force

I take back what I said about how I wish we had as many clones here in the states of you fella's in Europe. They are fucking boring to review lol. I just like the cans.

Taste- It tastes like a cheaply made red bull with low carbonation and a ton of fructose syrup with B vitamins for flavor.

RATING-4.5/10

Buzz- Hey! A part of its actually in English! 32 mgs caffeine (B2 6.4) (B3 2.) (4 B5) and 1 mgs B12.

Power Point: Himbeere

Taste- Himbeere means raspberry and that sounds delicious for an energy drink, but not when it ends up tasting like cranberry. The mouth feel is bad also, half of the drink turn to foam. I don't usually get that. Sometimes it happens when the drink is overly carbonated. That's really the only big issue with this drink.

RATING-6/10

Buzz- 32 mgs of caffeine per 100 ml is all I can make out besides 51% molkenerzeugnis which apparently means whey solids?

Tunnel

Everybody is interested when you get drunken and sick, but nobody when you are thirsty.

Taste- Just another equal red bull clone. With these sometimes you can get one that's really tasty and better than a red bull but usually they are like this drink and taste almost identical.

RATING-5/10

Buzz- 18 mgs vitamin C. 5.4 mgs niacin. 1.8 mgs pantothenic acid. .6 mgs vitamin B6. .48mgs B12 and 60 mgs  folic acid per ounce. I'm guessing a decent amount of caffeine and taurine also but it doesn't say.

Donkey Kick: Lite

Why do gas stations have to be little bitches and not sell certain drinks. None of my local road rangers sell anything but rooster booster now. I was lucky enough to find this one just outside of St. Lewie.

Taste- Really damn good. I loved the original a lot because it reminded me of mountain dew and this one would be like a sugar free mountain dew but with way better taste.

RATING-9/10

Buzz- A little more than usual dose of B vitamins. You can smell it on the drink and taste it but hardly. I personally love the vitamin B taste. Its what makes an energy drink a energy drink. 100% niacin, vitamin C. 190% B6. 180% B12 and 50% pantothenic acid.

Starbucks Refreshers: Mango

Apologies for the dark picture, I don't feel like re-taking it. I'm sure you guys don't care about this review anyways haha.

Taste- The only one that actually lives up to its name, "refresher". So I was stuck in the bad side of Bloomington and had to walk around for a bit so I stumbled upon the missing drink at a Mobil. It has a nice natural taste and and feel but like the others it gets old fast. It started out as an 8 for me and then by the time I was done I was thinking a 5. First few drinks are the best no doubt, but it seems like all drinks have been that way for me recently.

RATING-6.5/10

Buzz- Made with green coffee beans half of your DV of B vitamins and a smell enough amount of ginseng so they can say its in there.

Theres nothing like collecting energy drinks. You can find the oddest ones sometimes. I don't know what this drink is about but its usually a mystery with energy drinks like this

Red Bull: Blue Edition

Darn! I should have posted a picture of my costume Nike Red Bull dunks with this one. Oh well Ill get it for the zero calorie Red Bull that's coming out soon.

Taste- Figured it was blueberry something, it actually smells like a blueberry muffin. Kind of has some hints of pomegranate. Its a very nice soda and it has a flavor you don't commonly see with pop out there and that's why I love energy drinks because you get so much variety with flavor let alone a boost for whatever you need! By the way, why isn't there a common blueberry pop on the market? I would drink that shit on the regular.

RATING-8/10

Buzz- Slammed it in about 2 minuets to feel a light lift, and I did but it didnt last. So this drink is 250 ml and has 32 mgs per 100 which adds up to 80 like an American Red Bull. Niacin we have 8 mgs. Pantothenic acid, vitamin B6 and B12 with 2 mgs.

Red Bull: Silver Edition

Tastes like the color.

Taste- I can tell you spot on hands down exactly what this tastes like. Have you ever sprayed bugs spray and accidentally got some in your mouth? Yup that's how this tastes. Its got the bug spray taste, bitterness and even the numbing sensation. Its like it actually has 5% deet. I really don't know what taste they were going for here but they ended up with bug spray.

RATING-2/10

Buzz- I figured out how you guys measure your ingredients. Its per milla litter (which I think is stupid). So this drink is 250 ml and has 32 mgs per 100 which adds up to 80 like an American Red Bull. I was miss leading on a lot of my foreign reviews but at least I can do it right now. Niacin we have 8 mgs. Pantothenic acid, vitamin B6 and B12 with 2 mgs.
