When you think of low calorie, most assume the product contains no more than ten or so, so it's kinda surprising that Java Monster Lo-Ball contains 100 per can. That's not criticism, however, as it's still half the amount previous varieties had, and when you think about what it's made of, they really couldn't of reduced anymore. All the Java Monster's use the same basic design for their can, but the white Lo-Ball uses just looks bleak, and it doesn't exactly match the golden/brownish colour font well. It also doesn't offset the tiny wood grain enough for it to become effective.Lo-Ball's aroma is similar to that of any canned coffee, but don't let it give you false expectations for its taste. It begins a bit water-y and has a slight sour milk bite underlying a medium strength vanilla taste with a fair amount of bitterness. Then the flavour becomes rather boring, with less emphasis on the milk and more on the water. This makes the experience bland. When I poured out the liquid, it looked very thick, almost creamy, but while it's in my mouth, it's not nearly as rich as I would have liked. The sweetness is obviously artificial, but it's only noticeable during first second of the experience. Overall, though Lo-Ball is much more drinkable than the last Java Monster I reviewed, Chai Hai, I still wouldn't drink it for its taste.
Lo-Ball is definitely more potent than any regular brewed coffee, and is on par with most other Javas, with caffeine(160mg), vitamin C, ginseng, several B vitamins, guarana, inositol, and L-carnitine in its cocktail. I had a kick lasting around three and a half hours, with no jitters and no crash. Overall, like the writing on the side of the can says, Java Monster Lo-Ball is no Mona Lisa.

I tried the flavor (Vanilla Light) that replaced this one & it tasted the same as you described for Lo-Ball.
