Add Your Thoughts on this Energy Drink

Today we're reviewing the third of four Monster Rehab tea, energy re-hydration drinks. This one contains 15g of protein per can, so they cleverly named it "Protean Plus Energy". You see what they did there?

The protein plays the biggest role in my enjoyment of this drink, or lack thereof, but we'll get back to that. The tea flavor isn't pronounced at all. The initial flavor is more akin to a watered down berry beverage than tea. As I'm chugging it down, it seems light and refreshing. Then, like Jim Jones Kool- Aid, the secret ingredient rears it's ugly head.

Too soon?

For me, the protein collects into some gelatinous bit that resembles the chewier parts of an oyster. Then there's a dry chalky after sensation, like I've been drinking Parmesan cheese. In short, Monster executed 15g of protein in their energy tea far less successfully than Xapp executed 25g of protein in their caffeinated protein energy drink. As a result, this is my least favorite Monster Rehab drink, and my least favorite protein energy drink.

Like all Monster carbonated drinks, coffee and tea products, I've got no problems with the energizing ingredients. As for value, almost every convenience store in my area have these priced at $2.49, but, despite having no signs about a sale or promotion, without fail, when I get to the counter, the attendant is like, "You know, those are 2/$4?". To which I respond, "An obvious assumption, since I'm holding 1 for $2.49. I'd also like to pay MSRP for this Ace of Base CD I picked up from your $3 music and pork skins trough". I'm fine with Rehab drinks for $2, but my preference is always going to be the lemonade flavor.

In closing, since everyone gets sand in their craw when I badmouth Monster, I want to reiterate that the whole "Vegas Pool Party" drivel on the back of the can barely deserves a passing grade as a final project in a freshman intro to marketing class.

I commend Monster for bringing a Protein energy drink to the market, albeit, after Xapp Protein Energy with Caffeine
, less energizing than Xapp, with a less savory taste than Xapp, and with protein that doesn't go down as smoothly as Xapp. But, and this is where Monster trumps Xapp (sarcasm, btw) it's usually 10 cent cheaper, and it has tea in it. Oh, actually, I know why it's better, it contains Goji berry, an ingredient also found in Steven Seagal's Lightning Bolt Asian Experience Energy Drink, perhaps the worst energy drink ever made.

Seriously though, not impressed. As the Monster Rehab carnival rolls through town, and I try more of them, I'm more convinced they should have left well enough alone with the original Lemonade Arnold Palmer Tea ripoff they came out with last year. I've had all of the flavors except the Orangeade, which I've yet to see available in my geographic area, and they have been less appealing in the order I've had them. Firstly, and most enjoyably the Lemonade Tea, secondly, and certainly drinkable the Rojo, thirdly, and becoming unsavory, Green Tea, lastly, this mess, the Protean protein tea. I'm not particularly looking forward to Orangeade, but it's probably better than the last two, and I can't imagine it not being better than Rockstar Iced Peach Tea, which I've had and didn't enjoy, but have not yet reviewed.

In either case, the protein is just there, I don't see how you can avoid it. About half way through the can, it felt like I had an enormous loogie in the back of my throat. The aftertaste was more of an aftertingle. I haven't had Teaberry gum in years, but something about either the taste or the aftertaste of Monster Rehab Protean brings Teaberry gum to mind. This drink is not completely offensive, but it's one of my least favorite Monster drinks, and I've never needed 15g of protein enough to choke down the chunky protein buildup.

I believe $2 (which is the price we're reviewing these, as apparently there's an undocumented universal 2 for $4 sale on these) is a fare price for Monster Rehab drinks. I can't imagine a lot of people who aren't involved in bodybuilding or fitness caring a great deal about the protein, and I neither imagine a great deal of people finding this flavor more appetizing than the others. Additionally, the extra 40 calories per serving should turn away a lot of people interested in Rehab's otherwise mainstay 10 calorie value proposition.

Monster Rehab Protean Plus Energy lies and says it contains 2 (240ml/8fl. oz.) servings (meanwhile the contents of the can are listed as 15.5 fl.oz. (458ml)), which contains mg/% USRDA (whichever is available, or both, if listed) of the following: Caloris 50, Carbs 5g/2%, Sugars 4g, Protein 8g/8%, Vitamin B3 20mg/100%, Vitamin B5 10mg/100%, Vitamin B6 2mg/`00%, Vitamin B12 6mcg/100%, Calcium 18mg/2%, Phosphorus 250mg/25%, Magnesium 13mg/3%, Sodium 30mg/2%, Potassium 50mg/1%, Taurine 1g, Panax Ginseng 200mg. Monster Rehab Protean Plus Energy also contains a 3.2g energy blend comprised of undisclosed amounts of the following: Glucose, White Tea Extract, Black Tea Extract, Caffeine, Prickly Pear Extract, Concentrated Coconut water, Quercetin, Inositol, Glucuronolactone, L-Carnitine, Goji Berry Extract, Acai Extract, Yerba Matte, Guarana.

Monster Rehab Protean Plus Energy comes in a can similar to the original Monster Rehab Tea Plus Lemonade. The obvious differences are that this can is blue instead of yellow. Additionally, where lemonade tea touts its 10 calories, Protean touts it's 15g of protein. The theme of the sophomoric motivational blurb on the back, is the same, the in(un)famous "Vegas Poor Party". Why not just write some garbage on the can about my sister-in-law's annual family fourth of July party? At least they have tea, and most likely, more people actually know about it. In either case, here's their dumb text, "After raging all night, our friends at the Vega Rehab pool party are always looking fresh poolside the next day. Not wanting to be outdone, we created Monster Rehab Protean Plus Energy. Combining the recovery benefits of protein (no inferior soy here) with the hydration and energy you need to recharge. Monster Rehab Protean packs a triple threat that quenches thirst, hydrates like a sports drink, and brings you back after a hard day's night. Monster Rehab Protean Plus Energy: Refresh, Re-Hydrate, Re-Vive or in other words, Re-habilitate with a hiller mix of tea, protein, electrolytes, and our bad-ass Monster Rehab energy blend to fire you up. Rehab the Beast!"

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go cry for humanity.

About a month ago, I was in Dick's Sporting Goods and I got the sheets. Since then, I've taken a sheet at the table, my desk, the kitchen sink, and in a stairwell. The sheets look like tiny fruit rollups, they taste bitter, dissolve rather quickly, and are as energizing as most mainstream 2oz. Energy shots.

Let's start with the delivery method. Sheets energy strips are very much like fruit rollups. You peel open a metallic package that's roughly the size of a business card. Inside is a much smaller red rectangular bit that looks like a delicious chewy fruit snack. You can't always judge a book by it's cover, then again, Madonna looks like the crypt keeper dressed as a transvestite prostitute, so sometimes the cover is a dead giveaway. In this case, it's not. Sheets energy strips are cinnamon flavor, but after that wears off, you'll get a powerful bitter, albeit short-lived, caffeine aftertaste. In my opinion, far more palatable than a vast majority of the energy shots, namely 5-hour energy.

I love energy drinks, so convenience is one of the only reasons for me to drink energy shots. Some people like that energy shots are usually sugar free, additionally, some people don't like the taste of energy drinks. I'm in neither of those camps. In any of these three cases, I consider sheets superior to most energy shots. Concerning convenience, I could carry like 200 of these in my laptop bag. Unlike 2oz. Energy shots, I can even carry these in my pant pocket without awkward social interactions, laden with sexual innuendos. For the diabetics and anorexics, you will find sheets equally as sugar free, and comparably savory.

I cannot perceive a significant difference between the effectiveness of taking one Sheet and a 2oz. 5-hour energy shot. If one Sheet is not enough, the Sheets packaging says to take 1-3 for desired energy level. As an added bonus, these come in boxes of 10, and we paid $5 for a box. So, even if you take 3 (which is about 2 Red Bulls worth of caffeine), you've only invested $1.50, a fraction of the $2.99-$3.29 for which most retail stores are currently raping 5-hour energy customers.

**Correction, the video says 4x the caffeine of a Red Bull, this was our failure to see that Sheets's serving size is 2 Sheets.

At first, I was skeptical of Sheets, but after using it for several days, it's one of the most convenient and portable energy delivery methods, the tastes is above average for condensed energy products, and it delivers a reasonable energy boost at a fraction of the cost of comparably energizing products.

Jason and I differ on one key point with Sheets Energy Strips, the aftertaste. I find it pronounced and lingering. I quite enjoy the cinnamon flavor, but after about 5 seconds, it's all bitter chewable aspirin flavor for the foreseeable future.

Everyone here thought Sheets were logically 1 strip per serving, until I wrote the "active ingredient" section. How lame can you get? 1 serving is 2 strips. Anyway, so, we all agreed that this is still an effective product, and comparable in effectiveness to most energy shots, even with 1 strip. The value proposition, compared to industry leaders like 5-hour energy, is still quite strong. Additionally, these are superior to almost any other product than DynaPep in convenience and transportability.

Particularly for travel, camping, hiking, biking, concerts, sporting events, etc., this is one of the best products on the market. Easy to put in your pocket, take it if you need it, otherwise, save it for later. Lots of convenient places to store it, a reasonable pick-me-up and for most people, you can probably get comparable energy to the product you're currently using at about 1/3 of the price.

Sheets Energy Strips contains 5 (2 Sheets strips) servings which contains mg/% USRDA (whichever is available, or both, if listed) of the following: Calories 0, Sugar 0, Carbs 0, Vitamin E Acetate 12mg/40%, Vitamin B6 4mg/200%, Vitamin B12 12mcg/200%, Biotin 60mcg/20%, Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) 10mg/100%, Caffeine Anhydrous 100mg.

Sheets Energy Strips come in a red box, with a smiley face guy looking like he's taking a hit of acid. It says, "The NEW way to do ENERGY!". Also, textually on the front of the Sheets Energy Strip box, "Cinnamon Rush", "B Vitamins, 0 Cal, 0 Sugar, No Crash", "10 Individually Wrapped Strips", "Dietary Supplement". On the back of the box, the sales pitch reads, "Sheets are the NEW way to do energy. Fast, pocketable and powerful. Sheets have NO sugar, NO calories, loads of B Vitamins and a refreshing kick! Why drink your energy? Take a Sheet!". Then there's the recommended use, "Place on tongue. Take 1-3 Sheets for desired energy level. Do NOT exceed 4 Sheets in any 3-hour period. Dissolves fast for easy swallowing. A serving of Sheets (2 sheets strips) contains caffeine comparable to a cup of the leading premium coffee". Then there's even more text, "Sheets help restore mental alertness or wakefulness when experiencing fatigue or drowsiness. CAUTION: In some people, caffeine may cause nervousness, sleeplessness and occasional rapid heartbeat. Please do not consume caffeine while pregnant, nursing or if you are under 12 years of age". Lastly, they clarify that "No crash means no sugar crash". They might as well say, "no unicorns means no trolls on flying unicorns".

I haven't had a sugar free Red Bull in nearly a decade. Yesterday, I found Red Bull Total Zero at the store. Now, I don't remember how bad Sugar Free Red Bull was, but I can't imagine it's anywhere nearly as sickening as Red Bull Total Zero. This Red Bull tastes like someone put a twist of grapefruit into sea water. The amazing part is, it's not very high in sodium, so I have no idea what makes it taste like something with which you'd clean your contacts. Everything about it tastes "chemical". If I was given this product in a blind taste test, the tart bite and unpleasant aftertaste are the only thing that would make me guess it's part of the Red Bull franchise. We've never sung the praises of Red Bull, at least the carbonated mess we get here in the states, with that in mind, this is still, by far, the worst of the Red Bull energy drinks.

With a puny smattering of vitamins, and barely enough caffeine to keep me from getting a withdrawal headache, I can't help but reiterate, as we have so many times, that Red Bull is one of the worst energy products on the market. Let's pretend for a second that Red Bull wasn't less effective than taking a B-Complex daily vitamin with a 12oz. Glass of Coke, and that Coke doesn't taste infinitely better, even then, $2.19 is about $1 overpriced. In its current state, Red Bull Total Zero is about $2.19 overpriced.

Viewers and readers, I'm begging you, stop throwing money away on Red Bull. It's an inferior product in every way. At the time of this review, none of the following companies are paying me to say this, but if you want a carbonated drink that tastes great and gives you energy, all of these (in no particular order) are better, in every way than Red Bull:

Jolt Blue or Power Cola
Bawls Guarana
Power Trip's entire product line
NOS Grape
pretty much any Rockstar
Crunk!!!
Monster (any of them besides Mixxd, Assault and Khaos)
any Rip-It
Joker Mad Energy (which are sometimes at Big Lots, and are pretty much repackaged Monster)
Vault
Mountain Dew
Caffeine Free Diet Coke
and even Amway's XS Energy products

Pretty much just buy anything but Red Bull. I'd say, the only product that isn't better is Wat-aah! $1.50 water.

At least Red Bull is sparing in their release of useless product, unlike Monster, which isn't afraid to release a bad product directly out of the R and D, without even testing to see if the average consumer can open the container. So sparing is Red Bull, that Red Bull Cola, which came out about 3 years ago, is one of the few Red Bull variations, and I believe was the best product they've ever made. It tasted great, was 12oz., had attractive packaging, and was about 25% cheaper than regular Red Bull. On the other hand, their other endeavor, the Red Bull Energy Shot was a $3 calamity. Total Zero is unique in that it's the first addition to the original Red Bull line of drinks (meaning it's the same base flavor formula, like Monster Absolutely Zero to Monster Lo-Carb.

I'm going to start by saying, unless you're so diabetic that you die when you consume 3g of carbs, there's no reason to buy Red Bull Total Zero. Everything about it is bland and pointless. The can is warm and welcoming as a winter day in the famine-stricken Soviet Bloc. The contents of the can aren't must more pleasant. Adding Red Bull Total Zero to the mix changes the old Red Bull line up from, "the drinkable one, and the bad one" to "the drinkable one, the bad one, and the undrinkable one". For those who complain regular Red Bull is overtly sweet, this is the only possible selling point for Total Zero. I think Total Zero taste mostly bitter. That's not to say it isn't laden with artificial sweetener, it just lacks that thick, candy-sweet characteristic of regular Red Bull. I can't taste much difference in the base flavor, tart and unpleasant, just like the others.

I don't even feel like we need to talk about price. This drink is $2.19. It's as much a rip off as investing in 1987 topps or 1989 fleer baseball cards. The energy level is minimal, even for a lightweight.

Red Bull Total Zero contains 1 (8.4fl oz/250ml) servings which contains mg/% USRDA (whichever is available, or both, if listed) of the following: Calories 0, Fat 0g, Sodium 60mg/3%, Carbs 0g, Sugars 0g, Protein less than 1g, Niacin 100%, Vitamin B6 250%, Vitamin B12 80%, Pantothenic Acid 50%. Lastly, "Caffeine content: 80 mg/ 8.4fl oz." To be read, "slightly more than no caffeine".

Red Bull Total Zero comes in a can with a design identical to the original, icon Original Red Bull Fizzy Drink, the difference being the vibrant blue has been replaced with a bland, lifeless metallic grey, an omen of things to come. Even though I think they're the same, this color change even makes the yellow and red in the logo not "pop" as much. The can just looks lifeless next to the other two Red Bulls on the shelf. Nonetheless, around the rim, in a yellow area reads, "Zero Calorie, 8.4 OZ, Zero Carb, Zero Sugar", as if '8.4 OZ' is something to tout. There's the usual text on the front "Lightly Carbonated, Serve Chilled" and "With Taurine Vitalizes body and mind." The back of the can reads, "Red Bull (all rights reserved) Total Zero", then in Red Bull red, "Improves Performance, especially during times of increased stress or strain, increase s concentration and improves reaction speed, stimulates the metabolism". We don't agree with any of these statements. Phenylketonurics: contains phenylalanine. Of course some mess about not being recommended for knocked up or nursing women, or stupid kids.

Today we're reviewing a rather effeminate-looking Hype Energy Organic. I know, men can wear pink, and carry around pink cans, but traditionally they don't, or they get picked on and bullied. Believe me, I know, I wore pink to youth group last week.

After opening Hype, the pink began to make more sense. Hype Energy Organic smells like bubble gum. What's more manly than a big wad of pink bubble gum shoved in your mouth on the pitcher's mound? Not only does it rot your teeth with sugary sweetness, it sets you on the road to having parts of your face removed after years of habitual tobacco use, and that's manly.

The delight continued, as Hype Organic also tastes a bit like Dubble Bubble. The taste of aloe vera is more prominent in Hype Organic than in Go Girl Glo, making it taste a bit like suntan lotion. I believe it's also the aloe vera that leaves a strange residue causing a lingering aloe aftertaste.

Of the two Hype Organics I opened, I finished one, and forgot about the other. This could be partially because of the abdominal distention I experienced that day from the previous night's ill-advised Taco Bell run. You tend to set things down and forget about them when you're experiencing extreme bowel duress.

Overall, Hype provides moderate and sustained stay-awake energy, comparable to the other Hype beverages. For taste, I'd prefer any of the previous Hype offerings. If you're looking for aloe vera in an organic drink, well, this is your obvious choice. Otherwise, I'd go for the original Hype.

The Hype Energy Organic can is bright and colorful, like what I'd expect a Mrs. Donkey Kong video game box to look like. I feel like the colors and marketing strategy target women, but I question that strategy on a product with 50g of sugar. I know a lot of women who genuinely believe that the carbohydrate is the devil incarnate. On a product shelf, it could get some attention, but I don't see a lot of dudes walking proudly to the register with Hype Organic, like they might with a NOS or Monster.

The aroma is Hype Organic is very pronounced, and exotic, and somewhat nebulous like a car air freshener. The tastes is sweet at first, but fades into a bland and lingering aftertaste. Like Jason, I assume this is the aloe vera. Having never had a drink with aloe vera, I can't really confirm or deny that's the source, but it's interesting, and to me, not a resounding negative.

This contains some juices, and is rather sweet tasting. If this were frozen and blended, I believe Hype Organic would taste like an expensive tropical drink at an island resort, perhaps mixed with rum.

As for the energy, I was comfortably awake. Hype won't make you jump up and attack senior citizens to work off nervous energy, but it will keep you awake, and I speculate, at least for a short time, protect the insides of your mouth from the sun's harmful UV rays.

Today we're reviewing the most expensive energy drink we've ever reviewed, the $5 Monster Ubermonster. Before I go into my standard tirade about where Monster dropped the ball, let me say, this is a excellent beverage. Price aside, it's a little bitter, but still smooth. It really taste brewed, how you might imagine a blend Heineken and Monster Import would taste. The package appearance is superb, and managed to catch my eye, even in the sea of Monster green "M" claws on the regular and import cans. I often encourage Monster to step out from their comfort zone in a meaningful way. Nitrous Monster tasted good, but otherwise seemed gimmicky. I commended the creative direction of Rehab, but assumed, like Java Monster, they would run it in the ground (which they're in the process of doing). I further commend this Ubermonster experiment. It's one of their best products, comparable to Dub Edition and the original green Monster.

My initial criticism seems like something that should have been addressed in R and D before this went to consumers. For beer drinkers, it may not seem unreasonable that this is not a twist off cap, for Monster's teen and pre-teen target market, who only drink American "beers" with twisty caps, this will be a frustrating revelation after dropping $5 at the corner convenience store. As if this weren't enough, I have a house full of bottle openers, none of which, due to the size of the cap, open this bottle anything resembling an expedient manner. You have to go around the whole top and pry it open, like a pimento cheese or chicken liver container. They jest about removing the cap being an exercise in futility in the flavor text on the back, but it almost seems like a poorly-contrived cover up for a bad idea. Like when you express your undying love for the soon-to-be-bride at a wedding rehearsal dinner, then try to laugh it off like it was a joke. Seriously Kelly, I was just joking, my brother's a great guy, and I'm sure you'll both live happily ever after.

The obvious complaint for the average consumer is the $5 price tag. If you're also gasping at the unforgivable price, consider that Ubermonster is only 6 cents more per ounce than Red Bull, a product we've been calling highway robbery for the better part of a decade.

For the bottle and can collectors this will, undoubtedly, be a highlight in any collection. If the $5 price tag and Ubername lead you to believe you're going to find an Iron Man-like limitless energy source, you'll be sorely disappointed, I didn't notice any difference from drinking a regular 16oz. Green Monster.

A $5 energy drink? By presenting this to me, screamingenergy.com just treated me more lavishly than my last date. The Ubermonster bottle is so awesome, I buy regular monster and pour it into the bottle. I'm like Santa Clause, if kids don't believe in me being awesome, I just lay at home and cry. So it's important I have the appearance of being awesome, even if it's at the price of my own self-respect, which I pretty much traded away permanently for Kesha tickets last summer.

Ubermonster is ok, I don't think it's as sweet as regular Monster, it doesn't seem as thick though. You can certainly still taste the core Monster flavor, this isn't a gigantic deviation from the norm. In my opinion, it tastes most like Monster Import.

Personally, I think "Bio-Activated" was an afterthought that they slapped on the label to make people think there was any reason to pay $5 for this. I have no idea why fermenting Monster, then having it be a non-alcoholic beverage makes very much sense. Additionally, trying to make an annoyingly-hard-to-open cap sound cool on the label is like calling your teacher a pedophile after you ran off with him and wrecked his family...Jordan Powers.

Monster Ubermonster Energy Brew contains 2 (8fl oz/240ml) servings which each contains mg/% USRDA (whichever is available, or both, if listed) of the following: Calories 100, Carbs 25g/8%, Sugars 25g, Vitamin B2 1.7mg/100%, Vitamin B3 20mg/100%, Vitamin B6 2mg/100%, Vitamin B12 6mcg/100%, Sodium 170mg/7%, Taurine 1g, Panax Ginseng 200mg. Then there's the 2.5g "Monster Energy Proprietary Energy Blend" we hear so much about, with undisclosed amounts of the following: Glucose, L-Carnitine, Caffeine, Inositol, Glucuronolactone, Guarana, Resveratrol, Quercitin, Maltodextrin.

Monster Ubermonster Energy Brew comes in a big glass bottle with a difficult-to-open oversized non-twist-off cap. The bottle is green glass with the Energy family bird crest embossed into the glass on the neck. The label has the feel of a long-standing German brewery, with dragony creatures, crowns and whatnot. The detail in the label is impressive, and I think it has to be to command a $5 pricetag. On the label, two dragon/bird beasts with Monster-green-colored eyes hold up a gold banner that reads, "Energy Brew", on top of that sits a gold crown with a Monster-green-colored jewel in the center. The bird-like demon/dragon creatures are standing on another gold banner that reads "Ubermonster" (the U has the little dots over it, but that screws up my RSS feed, so deal with it). In the center is the Monster "M" claw. At the bottom, "Bio-Activated, Non-Alcoholic, Energy Supplement, 16.9FL. Oz. (500ml)".

You can always count on Monster Energy writing some mess on the back that's supposed to inspire me to believe I just bought some societal awesome points by choosing Monster. Ubermonster is no different. It reads, "Uber [oo-ber] From the German, meaning superior, above the norm, or the ultimate. UberMonster [oo-ber-mon-stir] The ultimate energy brew from Monster. Produced using proprietary German brewing technology. We "borrowed" a German brewing process which uses a special microbe to fermen malted barley. The resulted "Bio-Activated" energy brew has a clean, crisp, taste without the alcohol. No regular bottle could handle this evil energy brewski. So we designed our own with the biggest chugger friendly wide mouth we could make. The big ass cap is a little hard to pry off, but it's sorta like, if you can't open it you shouldn't be able to drink it! Cheers, This energy brew is for you!"

I don't get why Jason rated a 7 on the value scale. its freakin 5 dollars for a mix between Nitrous monster and Import. Response by Jason: Admittedly, I was generous with a 7. It is a good drink, and people buying it, for the most part, know what they're paying for. I mean, the $2500/bottle Dos Lunas Grand Reserve Tequila is clearly not the value of a Cuervo Gold at $20, if you're just looking to get drunk. If you're looking for something a little more "top-shelf", I consider this a reasonable value...and your only top-shelf energy drink option. Unless you consider that Red Bull is already nearly the same price per oz., and it sucks in every possible way.

I found this drink to be a total waste of my money. Cost over $5 and had a slightly different taste than regular monster. Certainly was expecting something more special for the cost and fancy bottle. As far as the bottle cap as well, I just about tore my hand apart trying to use a key to open the bottle. Couldn't do it so I had to stop somewhere to buy a bottle opener because I was on the road. Even with a bottle opener it was a bitch to pry the lid off because the cap is larger than a typical bottle. Needless to say after all the effort I put in to try and get to the drink my expectations were off the charts. Sipped the first half of the bottle and thought they pulled one over on me. It surprised me because I've always thought Monster put out quality products. They need to fire the knucklehead who came up with Ubermonster. This is the kind of "Hey let's be different!" thinking that drove Jones Soda in to the ground.

I'll just cut to the chase. I wish that they somehow made it sugarless/sweetner-less. I do not enjoy the normal monster. And thus I can't say I have tasted both the original and this bugger side by side. But its core flavour was of course, monstery. I was hoping that they'd really showcase a maltzy flavour, instead of having it just peak out behind the overpowering, sugary monster core. Too gimmicky. That bein said, I was definitely in love with the bottle. But that's all it is, presentation, but it doesn't deliver what I was hoping for. Paying that much for just a touch of maltzy goodness? No. No thanks.

Had one of these last week. Didn't seem that expensive when I got it. Bottle looks good on my desk.
