NOCCO BCAA – Hallon (Raspberry)
April 2nd, 2016Purchased in a 7Eleven mini-supermarket in Gothenburg, I had to Google Translate the flavor: Hallon means Raspberry. It tasted a bit like the Monster ‘Tea’-based energy drinks, which is to say, not that nice! It’s not fizzy, and quite watery tasting, but it does pack one ‘eck of a caffeine punch and is sugar free. It also includes BCAAs, which once again Google tells me is a protein supplement often associated with a weight-lifter’s post workout diet. It scores top marks for originality, but fails the taste test. Note: NOCCO = No Carbs Company.

Monster Energy Ultra
March 12th, 2016This is a strange one, it’s citrusy and smooth, yet quite sickly. But, it was low calorie so that’s a bonus. I did really enjoy it overall and would have it again if I ever see it. Definitely not like the usual Monster drinks.

Rockstar Freeze – Frozen Lime
February 6th, 2016A really nice and smooth lime flavoured drink. I’m a big fan of lemon and lime energy drinks, and this one doesn’t disappoint. I can’t detect the ‘cooling’ effect that you are supposed to experience, which is where the ‘frozen’ aspect of the drink branding comes in, but it’s nice regardless.

Rockstar Freeze – Frozen Watermelon
January 30th, 2016Not 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…

Tornado: Active
January 2nd, 2016It’s an average tropical energy drink. Very sweet and sticks to the teeth but other that that I can’t say it’s very special at all.

Tornado: Storm
December 12th, 2015It’s large can of ordinary. Tornado Storm is just a clone-style energy drink, and tastes exactly like many other budget drinks out there. It’s sweet, not sour, and quite sickly.

Monster Rehab Peach Tea + Energy
November 28th, 2015This 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 Blue
November 14th, 2015I 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, 2015Orange 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.
