Monster Hydro Manic Melon

October 7th, 2017

Not a fan of this one sorry Monster. It tastes to me like a really weak melon squash. I mean seriously weak and watery. Perhaps the weather needed to be warmer to enjoy it, but all I could think about was, this needs more pre-mix in it! Probably would be nicer if the flavour was stronger.

Rockstar Beach Blend

September 23rd, 2017

Ok so I did enjoy this, but it’s nothing special really. Imagine regular Rockstar Energy in a different can. It’s slightly sweeter, but otherwise it’s the same so far as I can tell.

Carabao Green Apple

September 9th, 2017

Considering this says it’s a product of Thailand, I’m disappointed. Usually Thai energy drinks are something special, something unusual, but this drink was strange and odd tasting. It is sickly and very sweet with an odd aftertaste.

Spam: The Big Edition

September 2nd, 2017

This is an odd brand image. Named “Spam”, I’m unsure if it’s anything to do with junk mail, pork products, or a reference to Monty Python. The slogan is “Living on the Edge”, and there’s a seemingly random picture of a fly above. Makes no sense to me! So far as the taste goes, there’s something a bit cream-soda like about it which is nice at first, but the aftertaste turns bitter and lingers a bit too much

Monster Energy: Lewis Hamilton 44

August 26th, 2017

I think this variant is actually just titled ’44’, but with a Lewis Hamilton name-based endorsement thrown in the mix. I think what Monster have is a generic ‘sponsor endorsement’ recipe that they bring out with a special can design every once in a while because this tasted just like the can of Monster Energy: Gronk which I tried whilst on holiday in the USA (Gronk being an American footballer…). Well, Americans probably don’t know who Lewis is as much as us Brits are unfamiliar with American footballers, so I guess it makes sense to use a different personality in each country! As I described in the other review, it tastes nice, but it’s just a slightly tweaked version of the regular Monster Energy drink.

Spectra

April 8th, 2017

A large can of clone-style energy drink. Nothing particularly special about it, but it’s sweet, not too sour or sharp, but definitely budget.

Rockstar Revolt Killer Cooler

February 18th, 2017

Now this is a strange one that I can’t quite identify the flavour of. I think it’s mixed berries, and I’m sure I can taste blackcurrants in there somewhere. It’s nice, it’s quite a mild and watered down flavour, and there is something quite medicated about the taste too – along the lines of Calpol!

Rockstar Revolt Killer Citrus

February 11th, 2017

It packs a pretty good punch for a sugar free energy drink. Taste-wise, it’s almost tropical as opposed to lemon/orange, but it’s not overly tart and has a nice smooth flavour.

Boost Energy Tropical Guango Sugar Free

December 31st, 2016

Sharp and sweet, very fruity and difficult to tell that it’s a sugar-free drink. They’ve made the can a bit funky with multi-coloured fire patterns all over it and called it limited edition.
