Monster is one of the most popular energy drinks on the market. The brand offers a plethora of flavors, including coffee-flavored energy drinks like the Java Monster Loca Moca.
Looks like: A big ol' can of whoop ass.
Smells like: Sugar-laden espresso.
Tastes like: Chocolate coffee with an extra sweet kick.
Caffeine and other contents: About 140 mg per 16 ounce can. That's 60 mg more caffeine than an 8 ounce Red Bull. The product is supposed to contain half the caffeine of a cup of coffee, but seems about the same.
Caffeine kick: Pretty intense. The rush is a combination caffeine/sugar rush that lasts a good hour or so after consumption.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
