What a name. So the juiced energy “flavour” of relentless apparently consists of two separate “flavours”. It’s 50% juice in both cases, and also costs more, this can of “Tropical” Juiced Energy being £1.45 instead of £1.25 in Morrisons. The only external different is a different colour can (the metal itself looks gold coloured like Rockstar).

Obviously the taste is what they’re selling it on, so here goes. “Tropical”. It taste like pretty much any other drink labelled as “Tropical” tastes. That is, vaguely of pineapple. It’s not so bad. If I had a can of Monster Ripper to compare it with this would probably come out slightly worse. This surprised me, as last time I had some of this I seemed to remember it tasting like drain cleaner. Obviously they’ve improved since then. Still, if you don’t like sweet, tangy tastes, you’d probably be better off staying away from this one. It’s probably a good idea to shake the can a bit, lightly, before you start to drink, or pour it out, because otherwise the taste seems to change as you go down the can.

Due to the extra 20p on the price tag, it’s not really a mid-range option any more, so stay away if you just want to wake up or get a buzz. The concentration is the regular 32mg/100ml for this type and as such you get a rather low 110mg/£, or 1.10mg for every penny you pay.
