FLAVOR REVIEW

  • Taste Accuracy: The original Monster is heavy on that NyQuil flavor, so this drink scared me. I’m committed to my mission, I do it for you. That strawberry is LIGHT. They advertised it well, it is a SHOT of strawberry and nothing more. The subtle strawberry does enough for me to hide the majority of that harsh Monster Original flavor.

  • Aftertaste: The aftertaste was the only thing that turned me off. As I kept sipping that Original Monster flavor continued to make itself known on the aftertaste.

  • Drinkability: I mean, I would drink it if it was my only option BUT I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

VERDICT
