Monster Reserve Watermelon
March 25th, 2023The 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.

Monster Ultra Rosa
March 11th, 2023I don’t know where to place this really. It doesn’t stand out as something special, but I can’t quite figure out the fruits involved either! The can talks about grapefruit, but I’m getting berries, maybe strawberry and other mixed red berries. It’s ok, maybe a bit of a summer drink, but not that refreshing really.

Monster Juiced: Aussie Lemonade
March 4th, 2023I love lemon-flavoured drinks and this was no disappointment! I can imagine this would be a very refreshing drink in the summer, it’s just a shame it’s a cold March morning at the time of trying it! I think I’ll get a second can of this to keep in for a warm day, it’s that good. I don’t normally try drinks a second time so this one is getting special treatment. Large can, quite sweet, slightly bitter lemon twang (you can really taste the lemon juice), top marks! Oh, it’s not sugar-free though so you get the old-style buzz from it too 🙂
Monster Rehab Strawberry Lemonade
February 20th, 2023I wasn’t that keen on this one, sorry. I love lemonade flavoured energy drinks, but the strawberry part wasn’t to my taste. It was a definite Monster drink, recognisably so, and packed the usual wake-up punch you’d expect. Similar to ‘pink lemonade’ but not quite so moreish.

Monster Energy Lewis Hamilton Zero Sugar
December 10th, 2022A new Monster drink! I was quite excited to try this one as the description on the can said it was flavoured with ‘stone fruits’ but sadly the excitement was short lived… it tastes like a tropical energy drink, possibly passion fruit too. I was expecting peach or cherry flavour, but nope, not that I could detect. Still, it’s a perfectly drinkable energy drink, just nothing original.

C4 Ultimate Arctic Snow Cone
October 8th, 2022This is an odd drink to place the flavour. It’s quite bland but not watery – very refreshing in fact. With no calories at all, it’s not sickly. I’d making a guess that the flavour is lemon/citrus, but seeing as the can declares that it contains 0% juice even that is uncertain!
Boost Juic’d Pineapple & Guava Punch
September 17th, 2022Slightly better than the watermelon and lime flavour, but it’s still just a fancy looking tropical drink in modern packaging. Very sweet, and the labelled fruits (pineapple and guava) kind of mulch up into one lump of tropical tasting drink with none of them really standing out on their own.
Boost Juic’d Watermelon and Lime Twist
September 10th, 2022Despite 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.

Oshee – The Witcher – Cat (Apple-Kiwi)
August 13th, 2022This is the second flavour from Oshee’s new Gaming Edition range, and a lot better than Blizzard. I’m not normally a fan of apple flavoured drinks but this one surprised me. I didn’t get much of an apple flavour at all, but there was a slightly citrussy / slightly tropically flavour coming through. Well, anyway, it was nice whatever the unidentifiable resulting fruity flavour was! The better of the two so far.
