Gas Monkey Light Energy Drink Review

Start your engines, because here comes the final Gas Monkey my not-so-local gas station carried. It is the sugar free variant of the original variety, but the once interesting design struggles atop the bare aluminum background. Sure, all the black and green stands out, but there is an undeniable inexpensiveness here.

Again Gas Monkey struggles a bit with the flavor, this time a disordered mix of apple, pear and vanilla, all medicinally enameled as well as tasting cheap and unfulfilling. They never appear at the front of any imbibe, always feeling distant on your taste buds, as if drowned in all the effervescence. It is the sweetness that causes the overwhelmingly unsatisfactory, sure, honey is listed as the fifth ingredient, but every eight ounce serving remains sugar free, leaving sucralose to sweeten all by itself to ill effect. It is a lonely synthetic sugar, one that begs for either ace-k for assistance or a better experience to work on. There is an ineffectual acidity as well, doing the flavor trilogy no favors nor does distracts from the frustrating saccharinity. Every sip is underseasoned and underdeveloped, leaving your palate barren of enjoyment.

Each can contains: B vitamins, ginseng, inositol, guarana, and 160 milligrams of caffeine. Lasting two hours before subsiding, the buzz is pretty standard, but after a drink like this I'll take it.
