Non-carbonated, basically no sugar, contains milk thistle? I can't say I ever heard of milk thistle before. I really had no idea what to expect, but Rockstar Recovery won me over. It's supposed to be a combination of a sugarfree energy drink and something like Berocca, I guess. The flavour isn't strong at all, and suits not being carbonated. After getting used to this, I went back and tried some citrus Rockstar, which used to be my favourite variety, and.. well, geez. Pure sugar. What was I thinking? I had already half-transitioned over to sugarfree drinks when Recovery appeared, so the timing was good.
Then there are these two:
I was hoping the lemon Mother would be a nice replacement for lemon V, which has pretty much vanished. It's not quite as good, sadly. Better than the default variety, but not up to the standard of Mother Surge (the orange one). Kind of a little too sickly sweet; not lemony-sharp enough. Steering away from sugary drinks now anyway.
Low-carb Mother is pretty awful. It's not even sugarfree but it tastes like fail and something that went off. The sweetness that is there has a rather weird, artificial tinge to it, certainly moreso than sugarfree V, Rockstar or Red Bull, and the overall flavour is just... well, difficult to describe, but not very good. Do not bother!
I was too lazy to take a photo of a can of Wicked. So far I've only ever seen it on shelves in Woolworths/Safeway, where it is frequently on special, to the tune of $7.50 for three litres. Lasts me a few days, that does. Unfortunately it has that typical overly-creamy-sweet generic no-name energy flavour, and is of course full of sugar (more than Mother, less than normal Rockstar). Bad sauce; I should stay away.
