This week I’m reviewing the original flavour of Rockstar and
how this stacks up against the competition.
Out of the big energy drink brands; this is the one I have
had the least exposure to. It appears to me that Rockstar do not have as much
of a presence in the UK as Relentless and Monster and that’s a shame.
This is probably the most unique tasting original flavours
of energy drink. Most original flavours have a kind of stock “energy drink”
flavour, but Rockstar is a bit different. Like Monster it has a sherbet-y type
flavour, but it is a little less sickly.
Of the original flavours, I’d say this is my second
favourite behind Relentless; however it’s just not as common in the UK and so I
would be unlikely to buy it on a regular basis. It is however usually 99p.
Rockstar is the unhealthiest of the original energy drink
flavours with close to 300 calories in a can. So if you’re going to choose a
Rockstar you better think of it as a meal rather than a beverage. However,
having the most sugar does mean it gives you the most energy and I did feel
pretty wired after a can.
I understand that Rockstar was the first energy drink to
introduce the 500ml can, so I guess I have a lot to thank Rockstar for. Twice
as much energy drink for the same price has always been a good reason to choose
Rockstar, Monster or Relentless over anything else.
Summarise!
It’s got a good taste, good value and gives you a decent
amount of energy, but it does contain more calories than anything else. So have
one, but maybe don’t have one every day.
