Monster Energy Zero Ultra

Many of the big name players in energy drinks have some new flavors on the horizon.  One of the most notable is Monster Energy.  They are coming to the table with 2 new drinks: Monster Energy Zero Ultra and Monster Energy Cuba Lima.  Today I will be taking on Monster Energy Zero Ultra.

The Look:  First off let me say, I seriously love this new can.  The white can stands out very nicely on the shelf and the textured can feels great in your hand.  This is possibly one of the best looking energy drink cans I have had.
You have the usual Monster passage on the back explaining their reasoning behind creating Monster Energy Zero Ultra and the supplement facts beside that.
The only gripe I have about the can is the fact that Monster still hides the caffeine content in their "energy blend".

Taste:  Upon opening the can, I got a nice citrus scent that filled the air.  It reminded me of drinking Fresca when I was younger.
The flavor to me is a mix between Sprite Zero and Fresca.  I found the flavor to be very refreshing and quite thirst quenching.  The light carbonation along with the light flavor, have made this one of my new favorite "go to" energy drinks.  I was very happy to see Monster stray away from the traditional energy drink flavor on this one.

Does It Work:  If you have ever had a Monster Energy Drink you know what kind of energy to expect.  Monster Zero Ultra is really no exception.  Each can is powered by 0 calories, several B vitamins, and a dose of a Monster Energy Blend.  After finishing the can I got a nice clean energy boost that lasted the usual 3-4 hours with no crash.

Overall Thoughts:  Monster Energy Zero Ultra is a home run in my opinion.  They have created a great tasting 0 calorie drink with fantastic packaging and a nice kick.  If you are a fan of Monster and/or a fan of citrus drinks this is a must try drink.  Unfortunately, I don't have the same enthusiasm for the new Monster Cuba Lima (review soon).......

Monster Rehab Orangeade

Recently I have had the chance to try Monster Rehab Orangeade on many occasions.  I'm not going to lie, it has even been my go to energy drink of choice lately.  Let's see how the new Monster Rehab scores on the Caffeineaholic.net grading system.

The Look:  One of the reasons I believe Monster is on top of the energy drink category is their packaging and Rehab Orangeade is no different.  The can is done in just 3 colors: black, orange, and white. The color scheme goes together very nicely and creates one of my favorite Monster cans.  The only thing that stops me from giving the can a perfect 10 is that Monster still refuses to list their caffeine content on the can.

Taste:  The flavor of the newest Rehab flavor is listed as Orangeade.  The drink has a nice blend of orange with an aftertaste of tea.  The orange and tea compliment each other very nicely.  As with most Monster energy drinks there is no caffeine bitterness or funky aftertaste.
(9.5 out of 10)

Does It Work:  Each 16 oz can of Orangeade is powered by 20 calories, 6 grams of sugar, 4 different B vitamins, 2000 mg of taurine, 400 mg of panax ginseng, and 6400 mg of what they label as the "Rehab Energy Blend".  Just like the other Rehabs, I was filled with a very nice burst of energy about half way through the can.  By the time I finished the entire can, I was wide awake and going about my day with extra energy.  There was no crash at the end and I would put the energy at about the 3 - 3.5 hour mark.

Overall Thoughts:  The original Monster Rehab was one of my favorite energy drinks on the market.  Now after trying Orangeade, I actually believe Monster has made the great even better with the addition of Rehab Orangeade.  If you see one of these on the shelf, do yourself a favor and grab one.  As always let me know your thoughts and comments below.
