Monster Nitrous Anti Gravity

Whats up guys this is joe here getting ready to do a review on this new drink from monster, which is huge becasue monster is a huge energy drink company that rarely comes out with whole new lines of drinks, so im really exited to do this review.

Ok lets start with the appearance of the can. It looks really cool and i like everything about it. and even know theres alot going on, they blend it all really nicely, this can has some text on it, starting at the top it states that this can is the anti gravity series of the nitrous monster line, the next thing down is the signature monster symbol which is a little different on the nitrous cans it is turned to the right. The next piece of text down is the text that says Nitrous written in all caps and in a really cool font, the next thing down is monster energy, and the last thing on the can bottom left it states that the monster nitrous is a energy supplement, and to the right of that it says that the can is 12oz.

Ok so i just opened the can and the flavor is really cool. it kinda tastes like a grapefruit with more sugar, and before you even taste that sugary grapefruit taste, you get hit with that original monster taste. One thing that i dont like to is that it is to carbonated so every time you open the cap, it pops really loud, and it bubbles over which is a pain in the ass. There is also a hint of orange in it to, which makes in kind of tastes like orange crush. and they claim that they make the nitrous series with real nitrous, which might actually be true because i feel like i can smell it when i pop the top. Also its a little dry so i suggest serving this drink in a seperate cup with ice, so you get a little melted water in the drink, and that will make the drink last a little longer, since the nitrous cans are only 12oz.

The kick is really good, it lasted for about 4 to 5 hours which is really good, if you dont like drinking those little 5 hour energys, then buy acouple of the monster nitrous series, it makes you really jittery, and twitchy which is cool because that means if you would be burning energy then it would replace that energy your burning. and the container is not very big, only 12oz, so it packs a huge kick for how big the container is. And a little random but i would like to add this, the cap is resealable,which is really cool so you can put other liquids in the can after you drink all your monster. overall i like this drink alot and i would recomend this drink to anyone that like long lasting energy.

Kick: 9/10

Taste: 8/10

Overall: 8.5/10

5 Hour Orange Energy Drink Review:
So the last 5 Hour Energy Drink I reviewed was the new extra strength version. Now I have been a strong advocate of 5 Hour Energy for quite some time now (it is actually one of the few Energy Drinks that I will purchase on my own) which is why I can't believe that I never got around to reviewing the 5 Hour Orange flavor. It has actually been out for quiet some time. It has a very similar package to the 5-Hour Berry flavor, with the exception that is says Orange on the side and it is still in the convenient 2 ounce resealable shot container. So let's see if I like the taste of the new Orange 5 Hour as much as I liked the taste of the lemon lime one.

5 Hour Orange Energy Drink Review: Taste
Well the tagline that 5-Hour Energy Shot uses is probably one of the most memorable (at least in my opinion) - "Drink it in seconds, feel it in minutes, lasts for hours." The convenience of drinking it at room temperature or cold is also a favorite as is the portability factor. Anyways, does the orange flavor stack up as well as the previous flavors (berry, lemon lime)? Well in this reviewers opinion (pretty much the only one that matters!) the flavor was excellent. The mix seemed to be right on the mark. Gone is the old bitter taste that the very first 5 Hour Energy shots had. It is replaced by a very smooth and easy to drink non carbonated orange flavor. Sure, there is a slight aftertaste to it, but what do you expect from a shot that crams five hours of energy into 2 ounces? Anyways, the new flavor was well received by me. I still think the lemon lime flavor is my favorite, but I will also rotate the new orange flavor in once and awhile as well! Taste Rating - 8.9

5 Hour Orange Energy Drink Review: Kick
Before I even drank the orange 5-Hour Energy, I knew what to expect in the kick category. I mean, I have drank well over 100 of these by now, so.... But if you have not read the other reviews I guess I can sum it up for you. "Drink it in seconds, feel it in minutes, lasts for hours." Really, they are not lying. As I stated above, and in past reviews, 5 hour is one of the few drinks that I actually buy on my own (another one being Whey Up). The energy ingredients include caffeine(about as much as a cup of coffee), tons of b-vitamins, taurine and a bunch of other stuff (complete list of 5-Hour Energy Shot Ingredients). Kick Rating - 9.5

5 Hour Orange Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
I love the fact that 5-Hour continues to expand their product line up and improve on the taste of their product. They have 3 flavors currently available (lemon lime, original berry, orange) as well as a low caffeine and extra strength version. Don't take my word for it, try one for yourself. You can find them almost everywhere but it seems the cheapest place to buy them is online in bulk. I think they even sell it in cases of 36 now! Final Judgment - 9.5

5 Hour Energy Drink - Lemon Lime Review
I stated in my review of the original 5 Hour Energy Drink, that these guys had an outstanding kick for a little 2 ounce energy shot. The only thing that they needed to work on was the fact that there was a slight medicinal aftertaste to the shot and that you had to give it a thorough shake before consuming. Even with those taste issues, the wild berry shot from Chaser was more than worth it. Well turns out they have unleashed a new lemon lime flavor! So get ready for the new 5 Hour Energy Drink lemon lime flavor because here comes the review!

5 Hour Energy Drink - Lemon Lime Review: Taste
As I stated above, the taste of the original berry flavor was not going to win any taste awards but it was still worth every penny. However, there is a vast improvement with the new lemon lime flavored Five Hour Energy Drink. The new lemon lime has a slight tart flavor but still managed to be quite sweet, kind of like home made lemonaide that has a stronger lemon taste than the store bought kind. Overall the Five Hour Lemon Lime Energy Drink will get an improved taste rating of 9.0. Well done with the new flavor!

5 Hour Energy Drink - Lemon Lime Review: Kick
Well the taste is better than the original berry flavor and it turns out they did not tamper with the energy formula for the new 5 Hour Lemon Lime either. The original Berry flavored beverage made it into my Top 10 Energy Drinks article and it also made #1 in my article of the Strongest Energy Drinks. Since they did not mess with the formula at all, the new lemon lime flavored 5 Hour Energy is also still one of the strongest drinks I have tried. You get all that punch packaged into a tiny 2 ounce shot. I will give the new lemon lime flavor the same score as I gave the original berry flavored beverage, a huge 9.5 - so get ready for that five hours of rush!

Chaser 5 Hour Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
The taste was improved and they did not tamper with the extremely strong energy formula. As I have stated several times through out this blog, the Five Hour Energy Drink remains my favorite. The addition of the new flavor only bolsters this feeling. If you want to buy the original berry flavor, or if you want to try out the new lemon lime flavor you can Buy It Here!To top it all off the price has been lowered! Final judgment a 9.6 - Still Worth It.

5 Hour Energy Drink - Decaf:
Well I have reviewed several of the 5 Hour Energy Drinks to date including, the original - both lemon and lime, as well as Extra Strength 5-Hour Energy. To date, this product lineup is one of my all time favorites out of any of the 300 + Energy Drinks that I have reviewed so far as the kick, portability and expectations of zero crash have been lifesavers on so many occasions. I was a little weary at first about the new 5-Hour Decaf, but then I remembered that caffeine is really not the only energy boosting ingredient in this Energy Shot. Besides, this is a review site, and there are countless people that have asked me for ways to get energy without a caffeine overload. So let's see if the 5-Hour Decaf can accomplish this!

5 Hour Energy Drink - Decaf: Taste
This little 2 ounce shot has zero carbs and only 4 calories and still manages to give a pretty good taste that is somewhat similar to the lemon lime version albeit with a more concentrated citrus taste. Oh yeah, did I mention there is is no medicinal taste whatsoever. The original tasted good, but removing the caffeine and some of the b-vitamins definitely helped improve the taste of the Decaf version. I bought it, gave it a little shake and then drank it at room temperature. The 2 ounces goes down quick and there was no complaints from this reviewer in the taste category. Taste Rating - 8.8

5 Hour Energy Drink - Decaf: Kick
The taste is slightly improved as some of the energy ingredients were removed, but how will this affect the kick? Well as I stated above, there is only 6 milligrams of caffeine in this shot (hence the Decaf label). The new Decaf blend also has a gentler blend of b-vitamins (niacin/b-3 removed) and amino acids when compared to the original. However, the addition of Choline, an essential nutrient to help improve information processing (brain food) is a nice touch. The other energy ingredients include: Glucuronolactone, N-Acetyl, L-Tyrosine, L-Phenylalanine, Taurine, and Malic Acid. It doesn't stop there. There is also a nice enzyme blend that consists of Protease, Lipase, Celluase, and Lactase. The kick was not as strong as the original or extra strength 5-Hour Energy, but you could definitely feel a nice little kick in the pants that I was more than pleased with. After all, not everyone in the world is looking for a huge rush of energy, some are just looking for a nice little pick me up which 5-Hour Decaf provides. I am more a fan of the original and extra strength versions, but if you are looking for a sustained boost of energy, are sensitive to caffeine, or avoid it for personal or medical reasons, than look no further. Kick Rating 8.0

5 Hour Energy Drink - Decaf: Final Judgment
I love it, the product line keeps getting more diverse! 5-Hour seems to have a little something for everyone now. Those looking for a little pick me up (Decaf), those looking for a big pick me up (original) and those energy junkies like me looking for the huge pick me up (extra strength)! When I need to cut back on my caffeine intake (yeah even I do that once in awhile) I think I will make this my new choice for staying alert. Final Judgment - 8.4
