Monster: Muscle - Vanilla

Round two.

Taste-My lest favorite of the three only because Ive always thought vanilla was too boring by itself and when it comes to protein shakes, vanilla is okay but I always hated having to drink that thick vanilla goop every day. But its still good no doubt and it doesn't taste too artificial and it really does have a great consistency for a protein shake.

RATING-7/10

Buzz-All of this protein comes from milk which is the typical form of protein used now. It has its pros and cons. The worst protein for you is soy which has gmo's and might give you cancer or man boobs while slowly giving you results and the best kind is beef based protein or any meat based protein because simply enough that how God intended us to get big, same with animals. But besides your 50% rda of protein you get. Taurine, ginseng, caffeine, inositol, glucuonolactone, l-carnitine, gaurana and vitamin B6 and 12. (157 mgs caffeine per can)

Monster: Muscle - Chocolate

So here we go with what I wish I could say was one of my most anticipated drinks but like always these came out of nowhere. I just noticed that, isn't it funny how all energy drink company's pop their new drinks out of nowhere. No time for advertisement or getting people excited for something new.

Taste-These are great for the gym, in fact if you don't work out then you shouldn't be drink these lol. But I cant really see myself drinking this "while" working out because of how thick it is. It is tasty though, not as good as my chocolate carnivore I take after the gym. That shit taste like liquid brownies and it isn't thick and nasty like this can be. If you're in a shake mood and you love richer creamy drinks then of course you will love these but on a rating for energy drink and not protein shakes I cant say I can give it a great score because its just not something I would love to drink anytime. But for canned protein shakes, its the best one Ive ever had.

RATING-7.5/10

Buzz-25 Grams of protein is a nice amount. All body types are different for how much protein their body will ingest at one time but the general number is 30. You should ingest whatever your body weight it everyday. Plus we get a full dose of the monster blend with 152 millagrams of caffeine and all you're B vitamins. If you ask me you cant really get better than that and Ive been asking for these drinks for years. I should have just workout for monster 2 years ago and created these so I could be rich :/

Monster: Ultra Blue

Now why would I want to see a drink that is supposed to resemble the cold when where I live it just started to feel like spring this week. But hey I'm sounding like old man winter, lets see if another new "0 calorie" monster is even worth buying once.

Taste-Ill tell you straight off that the first taste is very misleading because its very good and what I wish the rest of the drink tasted like but instead it was a mouth full of acid fake tasting coolant for your car. Its supossed to be lighter tasting just like zero ultra, I like this one a little more because it seems even lighter in flavor and has less of that grapefruit taste. Who knows maybe they just added some Monster nitrous black ice flavouring with zero ultra or absoloute zero. But its another drink I would buy on extreme occasion and only if Im trying to watch my weight. But Im not found of these completely 0 everything  chemical tasting drinks, I dont get the point, I would rather drink a rehab any day or even a blue monster. One thing I do like better is it kind of has a cooling winter taste to it which might be good in the summer

RATING-6/10

Buzz-I Drank it first thing in the morning and finished it slow because I dont like it obviously lol but it got me going and like I said with the last rehab monster isnt listing the milla grams in their blend anymore just the caffeine amount which seems to be different in every drink now. Monster energy blend: Taurine, ginseng, l-carnitine, caffine, glucuronolactone, gaurana and inositol (70 mgs caffine per 8.oz) with 100% rda of all 4 B vitamins.

Monster: Rehab - Pink Lemonade

Pretty soon were going to have more rehab flavors than originals. As usual I found a pic of this on facebook like 4 days before saw it in stores. What would we do without internet? We wouldn't have porn or energy drink heaven!

Taste-When the original came out I was amazed, and they have only gotten better from there (besides that orangeade crap lol). But that was almost 3 years ago its crazy to think. I loved it because it was the perfect energy drink and the taste shocked me because it was one of my favorite Arnold Palmer drinks and I absolutely love this too but I cant give it a ten because its nothing exactly new or amazing to me. Its like original but with a more sweeter taste rather than a lemon bitterness. Its refreshing, tasty, unique and only 10 calories.

RATING-8.5/10

Buzz-Something new here. No new ingredients but now we don't know how many millagrams are in here. Actually Ill just show you a picture this time.

Monster: Mad Dog

Went down to the neighborhood smoke shop about half an hour ago and found 3 of these behind the counter. The cool Arabian dood said the owner gave them to him because they're new and hes going to sell them soon, so of course I asked if I could buy one and he said sure.

Taste- Disappointed at fist I was like; hey isn't this just monster dub? It pretty much is much with more of just the grape flavor. These two new dubs are very sweet and candy like which I love but not whens its over done which is why I'm not a fan of any punch or grape drink. So if you love grape, snag one of these. But I don't like grape, I think its bland, fake and over done and the original monster dub better stay around or I'm going to be very made that it was replaced by this. Id rather have a unique blend of original monster and grape over just grape.

RATING-6/10

Buzz- At least they changed things up from the two new drinks. This one has a little more caffeine less of everything else and some added green tea and yerba mate? Weird. 2500 mgs glucose, caffeine  l-canitine, glucuronolatone, gaurana, inositol, green tea, yerba mate, maltodextrin. 200 mgs ginseng. 1000 mgs taurine and 100% of all your b vitamins.

Monster: Ballers Blend

I know all the local stores in my hometown of Rockford IL that carry the new drinks first. That way I make sure I find it before anybody. At least in Rockford lol. But it feels like the few energy drink company's that are left are just going to go under because nobody buys them anymore and if they do its always a monster. I can definitely see the coca cola owned drinks going under and just sticking with one (nos, full throttle, rockstar) and it would be rockstar. I miss all the old company's like joker, ace, boo-koo, wired, kronik, no fear, jolt and so many more. Energy drink collecting/reviewing used to be way more fun :(

Taste- Practically identical to rockstar punched. So similar that I had to buy a rockstar punched to compare and its so close. They are about the same sweetness (too sweet in my opinion) this has less carbonation but the rockstar goes flat more quickly and the rest I just don't know how to describe. I like rockstar punched better though its more drinkable also even though they both are disgustingly sweet to be great drinks. I guess I'm just not a punch fan because its my friend Tyler's favorite drink. I would actually prefer a Hawaiian punch to either lol. What do you guys think?

RATING-7/10

Buzz- 8 years and we still got the same tried and true monster energy blend that never fails. 2500 mgs glucose, l-carnitine, caffeine, glucuronolactone, inositol, gaurana and maltidextrin. 200 mgs ginseng. 1000 mgs taurine and 100% of all your B vitamins. This is one reason monster is the best and most successful energy drinks companys. Because when they have a good thing, they keep it the same. More things in life should be that way, dont you agree?

Monster: Rehab - Protean

I'm not quite sure if Ive ever been this excited to review a drink. Before I open the can Ill tell you why. When I reviewed the first rehab I said what a genius idea this was because why do people mainly need energy? For working out/playing sports/exorcising, and that's why it was so smart to make a low calorie uncarbonated monster that's refreshing and has electrolytes like Gatorade. But I said the only thing its missing is protein. If they made rehab with protein it would be the most revolutionary drink in the world. And here it is!

Taste- I was told by my friend Nick that it tastes like a beauty salon and by that I didn't know what to expect. It does, it reminds me of licking make up because it looks like it would tastes good but it doesn't. It even has not a chalky pallet but a bitter one that numbs your mouth as an after taste and gets worse as you drink. You can without a doubt tell its low calorie this time and its supposedly a tea but you would never guess its made with white and black tea. I expected a little less because of the protein and I was going to give it a break but they could have added even more without making it taste like a candle or some lipstick.

RATING- 5/10

Buzz- Now the bad taste doesn't even matter. We now have 3200 mgs, almost as much as original with all the rehab ingredients plus yerba mate in the blend and 15gs non soy protein! I really wish they would have added more protein. For me when I go to the gym I usually drink 150gs (which is way too much, you should have about 65gs in one sitting) 200 mgs ginseng. 1000 mgs taurine and 100% of all your B vitamins.

Monster: Rehab - Rojo tea

Round 2 of rehab. I like monsters new warning. It says max 1 can every 4 hours with the limit of 3 per day. But how come they sell BFC's with twice the amount of liquid. I wonder what those say now.

Taste- I really am a fan of exotic tea, mainly because I like trying different kinds, kind of like energy drinks or anything else in my life. It has a very smooth texture and kind of thick. Not as refreshing as any of the others but it goes very well with the tea and even cranberry juice. Bit of a stronger flavor too with no sign of being low calorie. You are flawless once again monster.

RATING-10/10

Buzz- The differences in this rehab blend are no green tea or prickely pear but we have rooibos tea, a South African tea with high flavonols, flavones and flavanones. It can help with nervous tension, alergies, digestive problems and even acne. All together we have 3000 mgs glucose, black tea, rooibos tea, maltidextrin, caffeine, coconut water, quercetin, l-carnitine, inositol, glucuronolactone, gaurana, goji berry and acia berry. 200 mgs ginseng. 1000 mgs taurine and 100% of all your B vitamins.

Monster: Rehab - Green tea

I'm so excited to try these new rehabs. As you can tell to your left the original rehab was my favorite energy with the highest overall rating.

Taste- We start with green tea. Knowing monster its already made amazing. Then we add some coconut water. Brilliant idea. And then some acia berry and goji berry. I know this is probably mainly water with artificial sugar and some pineapple juice with some green tea solids. But the concept is healthy and perfect for the new era of energy drinks. I just love where monster and rockstar are going. But anyways its awesome, its just as good as the original but even more refreshing. It tastes just like it has all those ingredients mentioned (at the forefront) and once again just ten calories. Big up monster and I know you nailed the other two.

RATING-10/10

Buzz- Okay so compared to original rehab we have an added ingredient, prickly pear extract other wise know as fruit from a cactus and a great antioxidant but they brought down the blend from 3227.5 mgs to 3000. That's stinks because it will hurt the score and wont give it a perfect rating. All together we have 3000 mgs glucose, black tea, green tea, maltidextrin, caffeine, coconut water prickly pear, quercetin, l-carnitine, inositol, glucuronolactone, gaurana, goji berry and acia berry. I see now theyre starting to add things that wont even give you energy. 200 mgs ginseng. 1000 mgs taurine and 100% of all your B vitamins.

Monster: X-presso - Midnight

I didn't even realize this was a new drink until after a month of being sold. Ive only seen the two x-presso drinks at a smoke shop and one gas station. The other one is hammer, they took the design of the old hammer and used it for this drink and gave the new hammer a light brown color can and added 1.6 ounces. It seems like a lot larger of a can but there is 3 inches where there is no liquid to make room for the foam.

Taste- Stronger than hammer which makes sense why they changed up the cans. Hammer had a yummy candy taste and this is for the more hardcore people who want that bitter espresso taste. Its quality coffee like usual but I would always just go for the monster javas instead. Its infused with nitrous but you cant really tell as much anymore (I think they toned it down with all the nitrous drinks) but the foam at the top is neat.

RATING-5.5/10

Buzz- When you find a can of monster that's smaller than 16 oz it usually has a bumped up energy blend. This doesn't, its like drinking half a can of monster. 2500 mgs glucose, caffeine, inositol, glucuronolactone, gaurana, l-carnitine and maltidextrin. 200 mgs ginseng and 1000 mgs taurine. With all your B vitamins and 30 mgs vitamin C.

Monster: Ripper

America poisons their food, Europeans don't.
This tasted like when I first had it, back when M-80 first came out. My first energy drink.

Taste- So so so so much better than M-80. Same drink essentially but this taste like what M-80 should, its got such a sweater livelier taste. And if you drank a M-80 after this it would taste like a poisoned ripper. This is why I love monster import.

Monster: rehab

My God how I could now wait for this drink. I had to cross a highway to get it and almost got hit, but was it worth it? OH HELL YEAH! Here you have the best energy drink I have EVER had and the only one with a perfect score. And Ive had a lot!

Taste- Wow! Its all I have to say. Monster defiantly deserves all its fame and fortune. Ever had Arnold Palmer's tea + lemonade? That's exactly what it tastes like but with only ten calories! I was impressed to say the least.

RATING-10/10

Buzz- Brilliant idea, this is monsters cure for cotton mouth/hangover and even though I didn't test it out I know it would be absolutely perfect for both. Now I will list the blend. There is a lot of ingredients, most Ive ever seen in a monster and a lot of them are very unique. 3227.5 mgs glucose, black tea, caffeine, coconut milk, milk thistle, quercetin, l-carnitine, glucuronolactone, gaurana, inositol, goji berry and mangosteen. I wish I could go into detail on what all these new ones do, but how about you look it up yourself. Also 200 mgs ginseng. 1000 mgs taurine and all your b vatamins and vitamin c.

Monster: java- kona blend

Out for a joy ride, hmmm where should we go? How about woodmans they're open 24/7? Alright!

Taste- These beans come from Hawaii, well actually 25% of them do the rest are just the regular imported beans from who knows where, maybe Mexico? It isn't anything special to me, in fact its probably the least flavorful out of all the Java's.

RATING-6.5/10

Monster:java-vanilla light

Once again I go to look for monster kona blend and I find another goodie.

Taste- Needs more coffee to weigh out the sugar free taste and a few more drops of vanilla. I don't usually buy these java drinks because I just scarf them down too quickly because they're not carbonated.

RATING-7/10

Buzz- All of your b vitamins and half your c. 1000 mgs taurine. 200 mgs ginseng and 2500 mgs l-carnitine, glucose, caffeine, gaurana, inositol, glucuronolactone and maltidextrin.

Monster:nitrous-black ice

I was really impatient to find this drink awhile ago, then I forgot about it and one day my car decides to completely shut down at this smoke shop and I go inside and find this drink I completely forgot about. I was so excited. I'm a nerd, wow that's bad.

Taste- After absolute zero I thought this would taste just like it after seeing its sugar free. Took a sip expecting what I thought but I was way off, this drink barely tastes sugar free, like you would never know and its got some cool chilling effect too it. A+ indeed!

RATING-10/10

Buzz- The only nitrous now that says extra strength. So does it? lets find out. But surprisingly no! This drink has less than half of the blend on the other nitrous drinks. plus no yerba mate. 2600 mgs taurine, ginseng, l-carnitine, caffeine, gaurana, inositol, glucuronolactone and maltidextrin. plus 200% rda vit B2,3,6 and 12.

Monster: absolutely zero

May I present to you the most pointless drink on the planet!

Taste-Monster blue but with no after taste and a sexier can. They only use a different sweetener to make it have zero calories, but I'm sure than its a lot more unhealthy than drinking an original sugar free.

RATING-3/10

Buzz-They should have named it absolutely pointless. Like most every other monster ever made they have all had the same exact blend that kicked ass, now we get less than half of what were paying for, why? Probably because they cant afford the new sweetener. 1300 mgs taurine, ginseng, l-carnitine, glucuronolactone, inositol, gaurana and maltidextrin. 6 mgs vitB6. 2 mgs vitB12. 20 mgs vitB3 and 1.7 mgs vitB2. Don't ever buy this drink! Let them see how much they failed and i better see improvement on the new cherry drink coming out in a couple months.

Monster:import-light

This drink isn't even on the Internet yet. I love how nick always seems to find a new drink before me and then taunts me and doesn't tell me where to get it. Unfortunately monster import light isn't actually imported at all, its made in Minnesota because they couldn't keep up the the demand. And apparently somebody tried stealing the resealable can design but they bought out the entire supply. I don't know I cant under what monster says on their cans, its like there on drugs or something.

Taste-Like nick said. Monster import is like Pepsi throwback, its the way they still should make it. This tastes so similar to the original. I can see rich classy cool people drinking this, if you have one of these in public your rolling in style! Much better than regular sugar free monster, you can tell!

RATING-8/10

Buzz- Import light it'll do you right! 2500 mgs l-carnitine, glucose, caffeine, gaurana, inositol, glucuronolactone and maltidextrin. 200 mgs ginseng. 1000 mgs taurine. 6 mgs vitB12. 2 mgs vitB6. 20 mgs vitB3. 1.7 mgs vitB2

Monster:dub

Happy Thanksgiving everybody. This is my Thanksgiving feast!

Taste-Interesting. It tastes like they took monster and added grape flavoring but the monster taste is so strong it over powers the grape. I don't like grape but this is a fantastic mix. I would say it beats the original monster, power owns mixxed and kicks the new assault straight in the face. Its got just the right amount of sweetness without lacking carbonation. New monsters are always worth the wait.

RATING-9.5/10

Buzz-No this time I didn't drink the whole thing at once, why would you when you can make it last all day with the resealable top? So all day this thanksgiving my energy levels were at max and I plowed right through with that football. 2500 mgs l-carnitine, glucose, caffeine, gaurana, inositol, glucuronolactone and maltidextrin. 200 mgs ginseng. 1000 mgs taurine. 1.7 mgs riboflavin. 20 mgs niacin. 2 mgs Vitb6 and 6 mgs Vitb12.

Monster:assault-MW2

From now on I will start collecting limited edition collector cans since I only limit myself to energy drinks in cans reviews. So this is the new call of duty modern warfare two drink. As you can see they just took assault and added MW2 on top and a pic of a guy from the game and a little story on the side. I'm not really excited for this game, I played cod 4 a lot and just didn't see why people think its so special, it gets very boring after a month of straight playing. But to amp things up for this game monster made this drink but its not very cool looking for a limited edition drink.
