Ghost Sour Patch Blue Raspberry

January 20th, 2024

This is a new brand to me, I’m not sure if it’s well known or not in the USA but a friend brought a selection back from holiday for me to try. The can is totally plain but with a plastic wrap label like you tend to get on PR-sty;e custom made drinks for special events, however it doesn’t look or feel like a typical corporate brand can. The word ‘Ghost’ for example is embossed and the lettering / imagery on the yellow section of the label is textured. It has the feel of a premium drink. I had a look on their web site and there are about a dozen different flavours, quite a few of them seem to be partnered with various confectionary brand – Swedish Fish energy drink sounds amazing. This one, Sour Patch Kids, is a blue raspberry flavour. It does indeed taste of blue raspberry but sadly I don’t have any Sour Patch Kids sweets against which to compare. As a drink though, it was quite sickly. I drank the lot, don’t get me wrong, but it was a chore. Perhaps in their desire to closely match the flavour of the sweets, they forgot that if you eat massive bag of sweets you start to feel sick. Two other flavours to try though…

Monster Mule Ginger Brew

September 12th, 2020

Energy drinks with ginger are rare, and usually they burn! Monster have managed to get the flavour just right here. There’s no hint of the usual Monster energy mix here at all, instead you have a nice and surprisingly refreshing ginger and lime (aka, Moscow Mule without the vodka) drink. It’s quite high in sugar and gives you a massive kick there along with the usual caffeine content. I found this from US import site https://atasteofthestates.com/

Monster Rehab Peach Tea + Energy

November 28th, 2015

This drink contains two flavours which disagree considerably with my taste buds, namely peach and tea. Fortunately the tea taste is not so prominent, but the peach is strong and sickly. It’s also a non-carbonated beverage which seems to add to the sickliness. I can’t recommend this.

Monster Ultra Citron

November 21st, 2015

A complete winner. Zero calories and a fresh citrus taste. It’s not as harsh as lemon, and not too sweet. A very smooth and refreshing drink which packs a decent caffeine kick. Definitely one for sporty energy drink drinkers.

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.

Monster Extra Strength Nitrous Super Dry

October 31st, 2015

Possibly going for a record in drink name length, this nitrogen infused energy drink is pretty good. It’s in a larger can than average (355ml) and tastes like a smoother version of regular Monster. The bubbles are somewhat smaller, giving it a less abrasive carbonated feel. I assume the smaller bubbles are caused by the use of nitrogenated water (not nitrous oxide because that wouldn’t be too good for you, or indeed help you stay awake). The energy hit is pretty massive too and this has to go down as one of the top drinks on this site for that alone. Sweet, calorific, and packing a punch.

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.
