Monster Ultra Blue

November 14th, 2015

I can’t figure out what flavour this drink is. There are definitely citrus notes to it, possibly slightly tropical, but it’s certainly not the blueberry burst I was expecting. It’s quite sickly after a while, so not that refreshing, and has a certain Mountain Dew “White Out” taste to it.

Monster Ultra Sunrise

November 7th, 2015

Orange flavoured, I think. It’s a really light and fresh flavour, which is definitely in the citrus zone. It’s very much like a flavoured water which makes it refreshing and thirst quenching. With zero calories, it’s also less likely to damage your diet too. Probably the most unusual thing about this drink though is the textured can. While you are drinking it, the nobbly bobbly lumps all over the can give you quite a good grip on it and certainly assure you of a quality product.

Spartan Original Zero

October 10th, 2015

Pretty much the same as the full fat edition, it tastes like No Fear, which is not a bad thing at all. A nice large can of a nice low calorie drink.

Gangster

September 5th, 2015

Interesting branding… it’s clearly a cheap clone, and it tastes watery but very sweet by comparison to others, but the brushed silver can with black detailing does give it a premium look. I have to say though that the name ‘Gangster’ is unlikely to ever become a mainstream brand!

Fist

August 15th, 2015

There’s not a lot I can say about this really, it’s a clone, it’s a large can, it’s sweet, it’s middle-of-the-road and nothing special other than the FIST on the front of the can. Full marks for an interesting brand name and can design.

Spartan

August 1st, 2015

For Honour. For Glory. For Victory. But not, as it seems, for Sparta. It tastes okay, in fact it tastes an awful lot like No Fear energy. As a consequence, I’m considering it a clone, but not quite a clone of Red Bull. It’s a large can and very sweet, but for the 39p this cost me it’s not bad at all.

Monster Ubermonster

June 25th, 2015

From the design of the can and the ‘brew’ tagline, along with the specifically mentioned ‘non-alcoholic’ statement, I really expected this drink to taste like non-alcoholic beer. I was very wrong – it tastes like a smooth version of normal Monster Energy. There’s a lot of this drink in the can, but fortunately it has the ‘No Fear’ style re-sealable can design so you can easily save it for later, and despite being carbonated, it’s not *too* carbonated so you won’t notice it going flat if you do save some for later. It’s apparently brewed (instead of mixed up like a normal drink?) using proprietary German technology. Vorsprung durch energy drinks.

Euro Shopper Sour Apple

June 13th, 2015

It’s okay, but it’s a budget apple flavoured drink. It’s not sour by any definition of the word, but it is quite sickly and sweet. Basically, it’s fizzy apple squash.

Power+ Sugar Free

June 9th, 2015

It tastes okay, but a little on the bitter side of the clone drinks. It’s sugar free, so it has that in its favour, and there’s a lot of it, but it doesn’t seem to pack that much of a wake-up punch.
