Monster Rehab Green Tea Energy Review

When Monster's original Rehab drink came out, it never crossed my mind that other flavors would be necessary. I figured that Monster would put out Rehab, and keep it in their line as a nice, "unique" energy drink. But of course, Monster recently added a few new flavors to their Rehab line. I spotted these few new drinks on a shelf at the grocery store I used to frequent for my energy drinks. For some reason the store has made it a point to not put their energy drinks in coolers ever since I moved about 20 minutes away, I actually only visit the town I used to live in where the store is located twice a month or so. Enough of that though, let's see how Monster's Green Tea Rehab offering performs in the can, taste, and buzz categories.


The Can:
Just like with their juice line, Monster keeps the same can design for their Rehab line but changes the color for each particular drink. I do like the Rehab can design, there's a lot of stuff going on in the design. It's not exactly simple and to the point, but it's also not a big mess. Naturally, the can has a green color scheme to match the green tea flavor. The black and green design sort of matches the original Monster can in a sense, but not exactly. The can does a decent job of informing you of the product, is eye-catching, and basically does was it's supposed to by holding the liquid inside.

The Drink:
I've always been a big fan of tea, particularly green tea actually. I have to say, upon cracking upon the can and taking a sip I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. The drink does have a definite tea flavor to it, but with some nice fruit flavors backing it up. I could pick out some pineapple, some lemon, and at one point even some apple. The drink is definitely easy to consume, I found it enjoyable and actually wouldn't hesitate to drink it again. I do, however, wish that Monster would at least take some time to put out some decent, standard energy drinks. Not juice drinks, not tea drinks, just something similar to their original or Dub flavor. Still, I found that this drink was rather tasty and fairly enjoyable.

The Buzz:
The Rehab energy blend certainly isn't sub-par but it's not exactly anything spectacular either. It contains some B vitamins, caffeine, taurine, inositol amonst a few other ingredients. Not long after finishing the drink, I did in fact feel a nice little lift in energy, but nothing substantial. The little buzz lasted for about 2 1/2 hours, I stayed awake and felt more alert but nothing more.

I have enjoyed the taste of quite a few Monster energy drinks, but I've been a bit tired of them for a long time. While I am a bit sick of Monster's drinks, I enjoyed drinking this particular one and as long as Monster keeps putting out new drinks, I'll probably keep reviewing them. I recommend at least giving this drink a try, it definitely shouldn't be too hard to find since Monster drinks are just about everywhere these days.
