Five flavours at 100mg of caffeine
Start here: the strength never changes. Each of the five cans carries 100mg of caffeine a pouch, the strong band on our caffeine scale, in a slim pouch. So the range is really a flavour list, and it reads like a drinks menu. Viking Energy is the original, which is the maker's own word for it. It's an energy drink flavour, and the small tag on its lid reads ORIGINAL ENERGY. The name describes the taste and nothing else, because it carries the same 100mg as the other four. Chaos Cola is a classic, sweet cola, with COLA on the tag.
Southern Boost needs a translation, because the name gives nothing away. It's peach iced tea, lightly sweet, and the lid tag spells it PEACH ICE TEA. Berry Beast is mixed berries, sweet with a tang. The maker's description names strawberry, blueberry and raspberry, and the tag says MIXED BERRIES. Tropical Fury is a juicy tropical fruit punch with pineapple and citrus in it, tagged TROPICAL PUNCH. Side by side, that's two fizzy drinks, one iced tea and two fruit blends. If you only try one, make it the can the maker calls the original.
