Red Bull taste-a-likes?

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.

Tesco do a version too, Kick, it comes in a Litre and all the truck drivers live on it.

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.

Used to love red bull until i tasted boost, way cheaper and so much tastier, had a red bull today and realised it actually tastes of wee

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
