Monster Reserve Watermelon

March 25th, 2023

The can blurb states “No juice, tea, coffee or any tweaks to the Monster Energy blend. Monster Reserve is straight-up original Monster in new amazing flavours.”. You know what, I think they’re almost spot-on with that description. It does have something of the original highly sweetened Monster flavour to it, and the strong taste of synthetic watermelon there too. Looking at the nutritional information it’s clearly lower in sugar than the original blend used to be but that’s not a bad thing at all. This is actually quite a nice energy drink to consume, refreshing (not lemon-flavour refreshing), and not too sickly either.

Boost Juic’d Watermelon and Lime Twist

September 10th, 2022

Despite the fancy graphics and promise of watermelon and lime in a refreshing large can, this was actually a bit forgetful. Honestly, I finished the can and couldn’t remember much about what it tasted like really – it was just a bland background drink that was a bit watery and sweet. No distinct flavour at all unfortunately.

Monster Ultra Watermelon

April 30th, 2022

Not my favourite Monster Ultra flavour, but it’s smooth as always in-line with the Monster brand. The watermelon flavour is not too strong, quite sweet, and really needs to be drunk straight from the freezer. If you let it warm up, it’s really not as enjoyable. I could only find this drink in a multipack of 4 at Tesco, which was quite a lot to get through.

Exstase: Watermelon

July 3rd, 2021

For only 25p, you can’t expect too much! This was a high calorie energy drink with a very strong flavour to it. The watermelon taste was sickly and with a slight bitter tang to it, it was quite difficult to finish the can really even on a hot day.

Red Bull Summer Edition (2020) Watermelon

September 26th, 2020

This is the summer edition for 2020, and they’ve chosen what should be a refreshing watermelon flavour. Sadly, they’ve taken that watermelon flavour and made it quite strong, amped up with a very syrupy sweetness which makes this drink quite sickly. It starts off nice, but becomes a bit of a chore to get all the way through – if they’d made it a little weaker then it would have tasted several times better.

5-hour Energy Strawberry Watermelon

April 15th, 2017

I was hoping for a nice smooth tasting drink but as this was a shot it had a really bitter flavour. It does pack one ‘eck of a kick though and tweaked me for hours!

NJIE Aloe Vera Strawberry & Watermelon

October 29th, 2016

I had hoped that this strawberry & watermelon flavoured drink would be sweet and fresh, but something, possibly the Aloe Vera, made it bitter and not that nice. I managed the whole can (so you guys owe me now) because it’s low in calories and supposedly a bit good for my insides. Aloe Vera should make my colon nice and soft or something, I dunno 🙂

Rockstar Freeze – Frozen Watermelon

January 30th, 2016

Not just watermelon, but FROZEN watermelon. Nope, you don’t freeze the can, it’s fridge cold only, and nope there’s no obvious connection to the ice-based headache-inducing-for-all-parents film either. It’s a nice and sweet watermelon flavoured drink in a large can. Quite calorie intensive but very refreshing in warm weather. I hope I find a few other frozen-style flavours soon…
