    I like the odd RB occasionally but have never tried another brand.
    What other brand has a similar taste?
    I'd rather get some recommendations than buying lots of various cans only to find out there crap.

    It's called KX, or at least the 250ml can (€0.79) is. Spar do Bluebear for €0.99 per 250ml original, sugar free and cranberry, the first two being quite similar (if not the same) to KX in taste. If I was to buy any, KX or bluebear would be my preference over RedBull.

    I was thinking of Kick, recorrected my first post.

    Green and blue monster are very nice, they're expensive enough, usually €1.99 for a 500ml can.

    I usually buy the Kx brand (Tesco), you can pick it up pretty cheap versus Red Bull. To be honest I don't really notice the taste difference but it wouldn't be something I would drink very regularly

    There's that Burn stuff you sometimes get in pubs instead of RB. Pure muck in my opinion.

    I agree so cheap and has a nice taste not quite Red Bull but near enough.
