Utter classic. Their twitter is saying "now available from Walmart"...

On closer inspection it's on walmart,com (who have independent sellers rather like amazon marketplace), from this outfit.

Otherwise, surprisingly legit.

I believe Joe Saward resides in France, perhaps he will dig a little deeper into this - unless he's moved on from the smoke & mirror show!?!

I decided to take a 4 quid gamble yesterday, and order a 3 pack of Rich Energy from Amazon. Partly just to keep one can with the logo on it and partly to see how it tastes. Curiosity has finally got the best of me.

I don't mind Red Bull or Monster, but I've not got high hopes for Rich Energy from the things I've read.

I see Peter Windsor is still happy to have the Rich Energy ‘stolen’ logo on his YouTube videos.

One is in the fridge now to try chilled later, possibly with vodka if the first one is terrible...

Just had a couple of mouthfuls, I even had a glass of water first as I've had a couple of beers and a Zobrowka Bisson Grass vodka and apple juice (the polish drink it a lot as found out in a stag weekend last year, vodka is available and Tesco and it tastes like apple strudel!) while watching Le Mans this afternoon/evening so the palette is cleansed.

Initial aroma, very similar to Red Bull but a not as strong. Very sweet smelling as you'd expect with an energy drink but personally I don't find it unpleasant.

Taste wise - if you like drinks of this type Red Bull/Monster/Relentless etc then it isn't too bad. It's unsurprisingly very similar to Red Bull in taste but again I'd say a little less sweet. Flavour wise it's that typical mixed fruit/sugary taste you'd expect from an energy drink there's nothing all that remarkable about it.

The one negative, well at least when it comes to the consumption of it and not the company as a whole, is that it leaves you with a really dry mouth feeling a couple of minutes after you've had a few sips and feeling drier as I type this. I'm not sure how they've managed to achieve this but my good God it's still getting worse!

Taking another mouthful of it in a bid to cure the dry mouth feeling (yes I know what you're thinking, I'm not stupid, well maybe a bit, but it only seems fair to give it a proper test) and the taste of it has gone severely downhill! As basic things to aim for with a drink surely making you want to at least finish it is number one on the list??

Conclusion- initial flavour wise actually not too bad, it's just this damn after taste that's the problem. I'm off to eat a ball of cotton now to improve the situation.... May as well finish the can first though.

Might sir consider a Vodka Shot to take the taste away?
