Xenergy: Lemonade - Pineapple

So now we see all these company's trying to copy monster and come out with something refreshing and hydrating that doesn't have any sugar. But the problem is they're all the same and they usually go for the lemonade tea flavor.

Taste-Not this time. Xyience gives us some lemonade with pineapple! How good does that sound? It goes down easy with no tart or weird feeling in your palate. But its also lacking a bit of flavor and I cant seem to taste the pineapple unfortunately. Maybe a bit in the after taste.

RATING-6/10

Buzz-All I know is we got 10 mgs of caffeine for every ounce so that means 160 per can and 100% rda niacin, 250% B6. 80% B12 and 500% pantothenic acid. Drank this in the morning when usually I do I can feel the buzz and its nice but this drink really didn't get me off my feet too well. But like Ive said before all our body's react different and that's why I also give you the energy ingredients and milla grams.

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.

Kickstar: Orange Citrus

Mountain Dew has been letting me down the past couple years. Ever since the world of warcraft drinks came out they haven't really done anything new.

Taste-Just livewire mixed with a splash white grape juice and orange juice. Like I said with the fruit punch, the juice just ruins it. I do like this one a little better though. Only because you cant taste the juice as much. They use orange juice to flavor livewire anyway.. Kinda. One thing I should mention is these are only 80 calories so Im just hattin. These arnt bad at all for 80 carlies.

RATING-7.5/10

Buzz-What do we have to wake you up in the morning? Only 80% of your vitamins B6, B3, B12 and C? Yes they wont even make it 100. But we also have 92 mgs caffeine. I can work with that, its like a red bull and a sip extra. But yeah.. I crave a lot more. My enlarged heart is not satisfied, haha.

Kickstar: Fruit Punch

Ive heard very few rumors about these drinks and heard that they were at a gas station on the far south side of my hometown Rockford at a Mobil. All thanks to Zak Mckimmy of course lol. But I heard they were trying to market this for kids to drink it in the morning. Now Ill explain to you why that's a bad idea.

Taste-Its great, its just what I expected from mountain dew. Its just code red with a little bit of white grape juice. Theres no point in doing that besides so that you can tell people its reluctantly healthy. It just ruins the good code red flavor and takes away from the carbonation a little bit. But either way its kind of a cool new drink, I like it and Ill try it again.

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.

Popeye: Clobberin Clementine

I wonder who owns popeye now. Because his name is on spinach, energy drinks and who knows what else. But you gotta love it! He represents healthy ways to boost your energy and chase off annoying women.

Taste- Again, not really a big deal here just some sparkling grape juice with some apple juice and some clementine juice. Its actual clementine juice which is pretty cool and its a good amount of it too, its pretty tasty and refreshing but still dull. (I know, I contradict myself a lot)

RATING-6.5/10

Buzz- Only contains 160 mgs caffeine. All your B and C vitamins and 200 mgs of the juices. Somehow they think fruit juice is a great energy booster. Id rather have spinach Mr. Popeye!

Popeye: Bruiser Blackberry

I cant tell you how stoked I was when I found these in the mail. This is a real collector item, especially for me. These two drinks are probably some of my favorite cans ever. But sadly the can is all its good for.

Taste- Trying to be "all natural" and "healthy" It really just tastes like sparkling white grape juice with a little bit of apple and blackberry. Its refreshing and low calorie but it just doesn't taste like an energy drink to me.

RATING-6/10

51 fifty: Sugar Free

Are you 51 fifty?

Taste- If energy drinks could be weed this would be sour diesel. Its a sour drink red bull drink that tastes and looks like diesel fuel. It defiantly is the tastes to fuel you, but it isnt shy with telling you its sugar free.

RATING-5.5/10

Buzz- Maca and Astragalus roots which are known to increase  energy, boost your immune system, strengthen your immune system and improve your sexual desire. And people say energy drinks are bad for you?! People need to start realizing their mistakes and judgments. Also has taurine, caffeine and ginseng with a ton of vitamins. I drank this and cleaned my WHOLE house and found out my arm that's been injured for 2 months was healed! All while rocking out to metal!

Rip it: Javamite

Rip it just pops out baby rip its like its nobody's business. This is the first time one came out that I actually didn't hear about at all whatsoever.

Taste-NOT AGAIN! I'm sick of finding this shit! here I go again thinking I'm about to get some great creamy cold coffee, but no! Its shitty ass dark black coffee carbonated with HFCS. Maybe its just an acquired taste but I have not acquired it yet. This is a bit better than the Joe Derandi Arizona mess. Not as bitter and a little more tolerable.. Maybe I am acquiring the taste?

RATING-3/10

Buzz-Rip it is known for bullshitting their cheap ass ingredients. On the old ones they used gurana but added more for the caffeine mgs since its twice as strong. This is pure coffee and 90 mgs worth and thats how much the caffeine content says. 90 mgs caffeine. 1010 mgs taurine 100 mgs inositol. 3 mgs gaurana. 70 mgs vitamin C. 2 mgs vitamin B6. 400 mgs folic acid. 10 mgs vitamin B12.

This drink right here is cowboy up. Its a micro brewed apple energy beer. (non alcoholic of course) its tastes great and has an awesome mouth feel especially coming in a pop open beer type bottle, and they even give you a bittle opener. The best part is whats inside. 801 mgs acetyl, l-carnitine, caffeine, l-theanine, griffonia seed and huperzine. 250 mgs of those are caffeine! Pick this drink up if you see it!

Freek: Manic - Sugar Free

Good ol' Freek. I was looking at some of my old cans with my friend Nick and just getting a bit of nostalgia with some of my favorites. I was really disappointed because I didn't and still don't have all of some of my favorites like freek, kronik and boo-koo. But they stopped making them awhile ago. So I hit up my doods at energydrinkoutlet.com and of course they hooked me up good again with six new/very old drinks.

Taste-The freeks were from 2007 but still tasted how they did back then and when I had them it was instant time travel. I'm sure you know how that is if you had some other kind of drink you loved as a kid but they stopped making it. Anyways, this was the only one not reviewed yet by Nick. Sugar free drinks have defiantly evolved but this reminds me how they used to be not so good (same with the kroniks). Unfortunately its nothing like the original manic, it has the vitamin taste with a butt load of artificial sweetener. I would have gave the original a ten but this is just blah. Theres a reason people never used to buy these sugar free ones, even if they were health conscious.

RATING-4/10

Buzz-This company went on to make rip its (not the same but defiantly the best thing they could have done) and have a very similar blend. 1000 mgs taurine, 102 mgs caffeine. 100 mgs inositol. 8 mgs gaurana. 4 mgs ginseng. 6 mgs B12. 400 mgs Folic acid. 2 mgs B12 and 60 mgs vitamin C.

Cafe Energy: Vanilla Sky

Stopped by a health food store called choices market the other day with ex reviewer Nick and found a couple goodies.

Taste-Plain ol' coffee with cream and sugar and apparently vanilla even though you cant taste it. At least its in the natural form. Probably the plainest of all coffee energy drinks but don't get me wrong, theres nothing bad about it.

RATING-6/10

Buzz-Monsters original blend copied exactly. Back when freek was still out (I'm actually getting a couple new cans from the energydrinkoutlet soon!) Monster sued them for "having a similar looking can with black background and similar name". That is such bullshit, why would you not sue blue sky for using almost the name ingredients? Fuck you monster! You destroyed one of the coolest energy drink brands out there. Anyways enough ranting, this has 2,500 mgs l-carnitine, glucose, caffeine, gaurana, inositol, glucuronolactone and maltodextrin. 200 mgs panex ginseng. 1000 mgs taurine and 100% rda of all your B vitamins and 50% of your C. none of these ingredients are organic and anybody can claim anything is natural now.

Buy This Energy Drink Help Kids: Blue Ice

Last drink from New York, well these weren't even from there they were from Pennsylvania. But anyways I'm really glad I got to find all these drinks and probably could have found more if my back pack would have fit them lol.

Taste-Probably the best tasting drink I got on this trip, or had in general (all the food was really bad, probably because I didn't spend 50 dollars on a meal). This is another great bubble gum flavor with a taste of cream soda and the best color.. Blue! It even smells good.

RATING-8.5/10

Buzz-This shocked me, these drinks have a really efficient blend that will work! 2805 mgs taurine, caffeine, inositol, choline, bitartrate, glucuronolactone and EDTA. 122 mgs vitamin C. 41 mgs niacin! 8 mgs vitamin B6! and 21 mgs vitamin B12! Surprisingly you cant even taste all the vitamin powder in here. BUT! We have some false advertising here. Bitartrate is a white powder used for texture purposes in food and soft drinks and has no energy benefits what so ever. No clue why they would put it in the blend.
