C4 Orange Slice
April 8th, 2023It’s not a stand-out amazing drink, but as orange flavoured energy drinks go it’s quite smooth and refreshing. More of a orangey citrus drink really, but quite easy to drink. Not as nice as the Frozen Bombsicle variety but I won’t turn my nose up at it!

C4 Frozen Bombsicle
April 1st, 2023Well, I’m not too sure about the branding choice with C4… should a drink being explosive really be celebrated? But it is anyway, and they’re making the most of the bomb-based associations by calling this ‘Frozen Bombsicle’ flavour and claiming it’s an ‘explosive energy drink’. Still, it tastes amazing! It turns out the flavour is actually cherry-citrus, and those two are a great combination. Really smooth and refreshing. It also contains something called BetaPower/Betaine which is some sort of mystery ingredient license by DuPont. I’ve no idea what it is but there is a warning on the can saying “This product should not be used if food supplements containing betaine are consumed the same day”. I can’t help but think that they should make that warning clearer and also point out wtf betaine is if it’s so portion-limitingly critical!

Monster Ultra Rosa
March 11th, 2023I don’t know where to place this really. It doesn’t stand out as something special, but I can’t quite figure out the fruits involved either! The can talks about grapefruit, but I’m getting berries, maybe strawberry and other mixed red berries. It’s ok, maybe a bit of a summer drink, but not that refreshing really.

Monster Juiced: Aussie Lemonade
March 4th, 2023I love lemon-flavoured drinks and this was no disappointment! I can imagine this would be a very refreshing drink in the summer, it’s just a shame it’s a cold March morning at the time of trying it! I think I’ll get a second can of this to keep in for a warm day, it’s that good. I don’t normally try drinks a second time so this one is getting special treatment. Large can, quite sweet, slightly bitter lemon twang (you can really taste the lemon juice), top marks! Oh, it’s not sugar-free though so you get the old-style buzz from it too 🙂
Monster Rehab Strawberry Lemonade
February 20th, 2023I wasn’t that keen on this one, sorry. I love lemonade flavoured energy drinks, but the strawberry part wasn’t to my taste. It was a definite Monster drink, recognisably so, and packed the usual wake-up punch you’d expect. Similar to ‘pink lemonade’ but not quite so moreish.

Monster Energy Lewis Hamilton Zero Sugar
December 10th, 2022A new Monster drink! I was quite excited to try this one as the description on the can said it was flavoured with ‘stone fruits’ but sadly the excitement was short lived… it tastes like a tropical energy drink, possibly passion fruit too. I was expecting peach or cherry flavour, but nope, not that I could detect. Still, it’s a perfectly drinkable energy drink, just nothing original.

G Fuel Tetris Blast
October 15th, 2022Since there was no description for the flavour of this drink on the can anywhere, and I assumed that it wouldn’t taste like differently shaped and coloured blocks, I had to resort to the ingredients list. Included flavourings were broccoli and kale… I promise you, this drink does not taste like green stuff. It’s slightly fruity and mild but refreshing. Not a stand-out original flavour, but not bad at all. I think the best thing going for this drink through is the branding. It’s also quite high in caffeine just like most American energy drinks appear to be.
C4 Ultimate Arctic Snow Cone
October 8th, 2022This is an odd drink to place the flavour. It’s quite bland but not watery – very refreshing in fact. With no calories at all, it’s not sickly. I’d making a guess that the flavour is lemon/citrus, but seeing as the can declares that it contains 0% juice even that is uncertain!
Boost Juic’d Pineapple & Guava Punch
September 17th, 2022Slightly better than the watermelon and lime flavour, but it’s still just a fancy looking tropical drink in modern packaging. Very sweet, and the labelled fruits (pineapple and guava) kind of mulch up into one lump of tropical tasting drink with none of them really standing out on their own.
