Tornado: Ice

December 5th, 2015

Honestly, I had to look up this drink on their web site in order to find out what flavour ‘Ice’ is. It turns out that it’s Grapefruit and Lemon, so it’s no wonder I couldn’t guess the combination. (Note: I’ve realised that the can actually mentions this too, I should have looked more closely!) It’s tangy and fresh, quite nice, but very sweet. The can also has the lift and slide style re-sealable can which is tricky to use.

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 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.

No Limit

October 24th, 2015

No, no, no-no, no, no, no-no, no, no, no-no, THERE’S NO LIMIT… etc. Nice, fruity, fizzy, and in a can aimed at a market that only the manufacturer could identify. I guess it’s for the adrenaline loving pink-fluffy dressing female market? Yeah, I’m not too sure, but I liked the drink anyhow.

POSI+IV – Peach and Lime

October 17th, 2015

Peach and Lime should never be combined. Ever. It just doesn’t work, and what you end up with is some sort of drink that doesn’t know if it’s supposed to be sharp, sour, sweet, or bitter. It’s the taste equivalent of mixing all of your paints together to get brown.

Spartan Original Zero

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.

Epic Energy

October 3rd, 2015

It took me ages to open this can, and I had to use a screwdriver in the end. The re-sealable opening on the can is way too difficult to open, at least it was on the can that I purchased anyway. The branding on the can is premium quality, with a matt effect label, and the drink itself is okay (a clone) but nothing special. Very sweet, but let down by the daft and fiddly opening.
