Rush! Energy Drink

Product Type:Functional: Energy Drink: Regular; Container: 8.3 & 16 fl oz can
BevNET Review: Rush! Energy Drink by Monarch is a citrus flavored energy drink that almost tastes like a Mountain Dew knock-off. Maybe the folks at Monarch won't like to hear us say that, but honestly this is a welcomed taste when it comes to energy drinks. The flavor is actually something that our panel would be able to consume on a regular basis -- and it doesn't have that medicinal finish that we have become so accustomed to. In addition, this product is available in both a 16oz and an 8.3oz can, so consumers can take their pick. Overall, Rush! Energy won't let you down. Perhaps not the most original drink, but we still like the taste.Reviewed on: 5/12/2003

BevNET Review: As far as 0 calories energy drinks go, this product really isn't bad. It features a berry flavor that reminds us of the cherry Kool-Aid that many of us consumed as kids. One thing that we'd definitely change is the bright red color. It's just not necessary in a 0 calorie product like this. As for the sweeteners, this product uses a blend of Ace-K and sucralose so it definitely has a leg up on some of the competition that is still using aspartame. Overall, this is a decent entry into the 0 calorie energy drink market. The only thing that doesn't really excite us is the brand. Reviewed on: 5/12/2003
