Monster Lo-Carb Energy Drink Info:
The Monster Lo-Carb energy drink was the second energy drink I ever had (first being an original Rockstar), and I have loved it since my first can. I have had countless amounts of this drink, and almost 150 different energy drinks later, this is still one of my favorites. The main difference between this and the original is that this has almost no sugar. This is NOT sugar free, only low sugar, keeping the calories to 10 per serving. Let's see if this drink can make a monster out of you without as much sugar.

Monster Lo-Carb Energy Drink Taste:
The taste of the Monster Lo-Carb energy drink is pretty hard to describe. I love the taste, but I don't really know how to tell you what it tastes like unless you try it. It is kind of like a sweet citrus drink with a little bit of a bite. It tastes just like the original, only it is not quite as sweet, and I kind of prefer it that way. This drink has almost no sugar and a slightly better taste than the original. An 8.9/10.

Monster Lo-Carb Energy Drink Kick:
The Monster Lo-Carb energy drink has a pretty decent energy blend that gives a pretty good kick. The only thing that they could really do is beef up the B Vitamins and add some more caffeine (I believe that there is 80 mg/serving, but it is not noted on the can). It is better than the average energy drink and it lasts a few hours. It does take a short time for the energy to kick in as there is no sugar, but the tradeoff is worth it to me. An 8/10.

Monster Lo-Carb Energy Drink - The Bottom Line:
Well, the Monster Lo-Carb energy drink is a low-sugar, great tasting energy drink with a decent kick. The original was one of the first drinks to challenge Red Bull in the energy drink market, and with good reason. I like everything in the Monster line-up, but the Lo-Carb has to be my favorite. An 8.5/10.
