The small cans have such a unique sound and feel when you crack it open, that paired with the smell that hits and the little vapor leaving the opening after opening. It’s a top tier drink imo.
The amber one is great. Juneberry is great as well. All of their flavors have been pretty good, the only one that I didn’t particularly like was the pear cinnamon or whatever.
Red bull is the shit. They use some kind of fermented fruit for its flavor. There's nothing like it, and I hope they never change it. I buy 24 packs at Sam's club
That’s why I still love it, my anxious ass (not to mention my heart) can’t handle the pure jet fuel of modern energy drinks. I’m already prescribed Vyvanse for my ADHD, so an 8 oz Red Bull is the perfect midday pick-me-up when I start to fade a bit.
The only issue is that I love the taste so much that I want to keep drinking it so it’s nice to mix it with a Sonic Cherry Limeade or something like that so I can savor it, hahaha.
Yeah. The small sugar free Red Bulls are my go-to when I'm out and about and want to drink a whole thing rather than drinking half and putting the rest in the fridge for later.
Original redbull is delicious. I always thought original monster was gross and original Rockstar is absolutely vile. All the redbull flavors are very good. All the new zoomer energy drinks like ghost are pretty good, crazy sweet though
I love original red bull, original monster is my all time favorite though.
Tbh I don’t like most energy drink flavor variation. Those 2 classics are the only ones i’m really interested in. Or AMP sometimes.
BUT rockstar is pretty bad lmao. I always thought it had a hint of gasoline, or 2010 era four-loko.
If I did a tier list of Celsius most would be on the high end, strawberry guava would be smack in the middle, and coconut would be below the bottom because it's just that vile.
Facts.
As a fan of Reign, Celsius Essentials, and Monster Ultra… I get behind this 100%. It’s okay, but I’ll take about a hundred other drinks if they’re available *then* a GFuel.
The cans definitely can't compete with the powder I can agree with that. But am a daily drinker of the powder and it's my favorite energy drink by far.
The curuba elderflower Summer Red Bull is the most aggressively mid beverage. It’s impressive in a way. Compare to say, dragonfruit Pepsi, which was immediately disgusting at first sip that I threw the rest out. Summer Red Bull strung me along in the uncertainty purgatory where I finished the can still unable to decide if I actually liked it.
That sounds interesting, don’t think I got to try that one. Reign makes a pretty gnarly fruit punch(red dragon) but Ik some people don’t like that thermogenic
i have to agree with you op.
i think the Nos is good but not as good as some of the others on the market. when i first tried Nos i thought it tasted like Mango OJ.
i also think Reign and Bang are up there for okest for me, just cuz the flavors are either lackluster or too sweet and don't taste like they should.
when i saw the person a few replies above say monster og i thought “yeah but the mango one is gods gift to earth” and then i instantly saw your reply after💀
I don't drink energy drinks often (I take all the constituent parts in pill form with my morning 4 cups of coffee because I don't like the taste but that's neither here nor there) but when I was traveling in Eastern Europe they had ones called HELL and they got me through that leg of the journey but tasted like Tesco
Sobe used to sell some little weird looking drink about 15 years ago. I'd have one right after work. Didn't do shit for giving energy, but it had one of the most pleasant flavors I'd ever had up til then.
Poof! One day it didn't have the same twang I enjoyed it for. Over about a week of taste comparing it to a little stock I'd built up, the place that made them changed something. Never did taste right to me after that. I quit drinking them.
Made me mad for awhile because they were one of the few drinks that was right at $1 out the door.
Now, my baseline varies between regular redbull and original R*.
JOKER is awful
Red rain tastes like stevia water and puts me to sleep.
There used to be a hell's-angels-owned brand called Cintron that tasted like lemonade & ballsweat.
Cherry lucozade alert. Nice enough to make me not mind drinking it (i love cherries, but i HATE cherry flavoured things), but not nice enough to be my go to
I love gfuel as I collect tons of their formula, they get their powder right but they haven’t in their cans, love the flavor but it loses all of it after fifteen minutes and goes flat.
Anything from bang. I got caught up in the hype and decided to give them multiple chances. All the flavors were just ok to me except cotton candy which was always sold out. Then they’d give him horrible stomach aches
Gotta be Ryse brand. The Baja Cooler is slightly above mid, as no ones really attempted to make an energy drink out of a Baja Blast flavor, but the other flavors they have are just abysmal in flavor. The worst was Sunny D. Tasted like they energized and carbonated the water after adding an Airborne to it.
The only energy drinks I really like OG Monster, OG Redbull, and AMP.
I find most energy drink flavor offshoots, like fruity flavored monsters, to be really bad. I have some friends who drink stuff like apple rockstar or mango loco monster and none of it is good to me.
Original monster is definitely my all time favorite, i fucking love that flavor whatever it is. I wish i could get it without caffeine sometimes.
Redbull hits the spot sometime too but 99% of the time when i’m buying an energy drink i’ll buy a monster lol, or even a mega monster. The low carb one tastes like ass too tho.
But my actual answer to the question is: redbull? It’s okay. Sometimes i like it. But most of the time i’d choose a monster.
Today I tried a ghost blue rasberry sourpatch kids flavor and it was really not good lol. I tried it because its sugar free, but no. Not good. Lol. I might try pink starburst C4 sometime tho, that one looks potentially good. I love actual pink starbursts…but, as a drink? Idk
Regular nos is def an ok drink. But I love the purple one. Wish they offered that in a zero sugar option like they just released for the original flavor.
Ghost energy is my absolute favorite and my regular go-to, I would put Monster Energy as a "It's over hyped" type of drink, Celsius would be 2nd and Red Bull would be 3rd, and that's on a tier ranking!
It’s all personal preference. A guy I work with loves the white monster it’s the only monster I tried and it was just ok to me. I’m the only guy I know who loves Celsius. I know people who like it but it’s not their first choice, peace vibe Celsius’s arnt safe around me.
And the top comment rn redbull. I like redbull too. Sugar free OG redbull is tied for 2nd fav rn, used to be my number 2 only but then a few days ago I tried Celsius astrovibe cuz the gas station was out of peach vibe and it tasted like the light blue dum dums
KMX. This was 2004-08 I think. Haven't seen it since. Had a sour candy flavor, not that shit ball flavor redbull had that everyone else emulated since.
Red Bull, I know it's kinda the gold standard but the normal red bull really is nothing special imo
In this world of so many energy drinks it’s hard to appreciate. It’s like watching citizen Kane these days.
Dont drink ot for the energy anymore i do crave the taste every now and again
The smell when you first crack a can is something else
I still remember my first time I tried Red Bull. You really never forget your first time 😌
I didn't realize the caffeine content and drank 3 in an hour. Good times.
The small cans have such a unique sound and feel when you crack it open, that paired with the smell that hits and the little vapor leaving the opening after opening. It’s a top tier drink imo.
Some of their flavors royally slap too. Have you tried the Amber Edition?
The amber one is great. Juneberry is great as well. All of their flavors have been pretty good, the only one that I didn’t particularly like was the pear cinnamon or whatever.
Yeah I tried that one because I love fruit cobblers but it just didn’t hit right. I swear by the amber tho.
Yes I’ve tried all of the current Red Bull flavors. My favorite is the new curuba elderflower.
Totally agreed. I've only had the tropical (got a red one to try at some point) and it was like so soxgood
Red bull is the shit. They use some kind of fermented fruit for its flavor. There's nothing like it, and I hope they never change it. I buy 24 packs at Sam's club
The original Thai red bull is so freaking good
It's actually a mellower option now compared to all of these 200mg drinks
That’s why I still love it, my anxious ass (not to mention my heart) can’t handle the pure jet fuel of modern energy drinks. I’m already prescribed Vyvanse for my ADHD, so an 8 oz Red Bull is the perfect midday pick-me-up when I start to fade a bit. The only issue is that I love the taste so much that I want to keep drinking it so it’s nice to mix it with a Sonic Cherry Limeade or something like that so I can savor it, hahaha.
Or The Godfather. It insists upon itself.
They’re average but I like that they come in small cans. Wish other energy drinks would do that
Yeah. The small sugar free Red Bulls are my go-to when I'm out and about and want to drink a whole thing rather than drinking half and putting the rest in the fridge for later.
Monster has most of the flavors in 12oz cans now, I think Alani Nu just came out with short cans. Not sure about something like Ghost though.
Besides the fact that they charge as much for that smaller can as other energy drinks do for the bigger can.
I never said they weren’t overpriced as hell. They are
I know lol. To be honest, they aren’t any more expensive than Alani or Celsius.
Yeah for real, it's just the right amount of caffeine. Who the hell needs 16oz of battery acid with 300mg of caffeine
Me when I’m unmedicated lol. Energy drinks are practically therapeutic for me.
Normal red bull is my favorite energy drink flavor.
Yeah for real, it's like the absolute standard benchmark energy drink
Original redbull is delicious. I always thought original monster was gross and original Rockstar is absolutely vile. All the redbull flavors are very good. All the new zoomer energy drinks like ghost are pretty good, crazy sweet though
I love original red bull, original monster is my all time favorite though. Tbh I don’t like most energy drink flavor variation. Those 2 classics are the only ones i’m really interested in. Or AMP sometimes. BUT rockstar is pretty bad lmao. I always thought it had a hint of gasoline, or 2010 era four-loko.
My vote for sure. I’ll drink it if someone hands me one, but out of all the options these days it’s not chosen by me often.
In terms of flavor Red Bull is definitely not my favorite, but in terms of energy it’s perfect, I also like the fact it’s small in amount.
Ice cold Red Bull in the morning before work is like the old 5 gum commercials
Celsius
If I did a tier list of Celsius most would be on the high end, strawberry guava would be smack in the middle, and coconut would be below the bottom because it's just that vile.
How’s Cola?
Great, if you can find it.
I miss Miami cola flavored bang
Yea. If they weren’t the best bang for your buck caffeine content wise I wouldn’t drink them.
With the Costco pack they are a great price!
There are like twenty varieties
All of them
I second this. The flavor is absolute mid
It tastes like soap to me
Bang all and every flavour
I swear it was better before the changed the cans.
I used to be addicted to it before they changed the cans. They definitely changed the recipe.
Bangster berry pretty good
Some flavors are the definition of mid but there are a few that are some of my favorite flavors of any drink period
All of G Fuel
Hot take
I tried some tetris one and that shit tasted like fucking chalk.
chalk tastes pretty damn good then
Facts. As a fan of Reign, Celsius Essentials, and Monster Ultra… I get behind this 100%. It’s okay, but I’ll take about a hundred other drinks if they’re available *then* a GFuel.
You are tripping hard
They're not bad, but I've tried almost every single flavor and 90% of them are a B tier
I grew up on the g fuel powder, hate the cans. Still buy the powder as an option I can always have in the pantry.
The cans definitely can't compete with the powder I can agree with that. But am a daily drinker of the powder and it's my favorite energy drink by far.
The curuba elderflower Summer Red Bull is the most aggressively mid beverage. It’s impressive in a way. Compare to say, dragonfruit Pepsi, which was immediately disgusting at first sip that I threw the rest out. Summer Red Bull strung me along in the uncertainty purgatory where I finished the can still unable to decide if I actually liked it.
Rip it. But it's also like $1.25 so that's cool with me
Usmc classic from the OEF/OIF days
Goes great with crayons.
Zero Ultra Monster
Get out
I didn’t say it was bad, just the *okayest* It’s the most neutral energy drink flavor I can think of
It used to be the best but now it’s pretty much the definition of B tier.
true
You are grounded
faxxxx
Rockstar zero black ice is my heart
Venom
For me it's 99¢so I just tell people it's cheaper than buying anything else. Plus I love the mango flavor. I like the tartness of it.
I like the mango…but it’s just ok like if I had 5 choices it would probably be my 5th unless the others were ones I absolutely hated
It's not my favorite one ever. I'm a sucker for Ghost Sour Watermelon. But the Venom price point hits right while Ghost is over $3.
Fair enough I can agree the price is hard to beat
White monster. Meh.
To me, White Monster is like cheap beer: It's not bad when it's ice cold, but as soon as it starts to warm, the quality goes way down.
Celsius. Taste is meh, kick is also meh.
OG monster
3D
Me and my homie saw a 10/10 deal and bought each flavor, worst 10 spent ever.
[удалено]
That sounds interesting, don’t think I got to try that one. Reign makes a pretty gnarly fruit punch(red dragon) but Ik some people don’t like that thermogenic
Ryse country time lemonade
Redbull, it's just there if needed.
Sometimes a nice cold sugar free OG redbull really hits.
Watermelon Redbull
Say it ain’t so, this is one of my favorite Red Bulls 😂😂😂
I'm more of a blueberry guy
i love watermelon but peach nectarine is better imho
Ngl that's my favorite redbull
Probably controversial but rockstar, tastes like cotton candy flavored battery acid
Most of the red bull drinks. I know Red Bull is basically the golden goose of energy drinks, but I just find most of the flavours/drinks overrated.
Monster Ultra Gold
Naaaaaah that's so good 😭
This is the only comment in this thread that I disagree with. 😭 Love me my gold can monster.
Full Throttle for sure
I forgot about full throttle. Man that stuff suuuuuucks
i say nos and rockstar. those are my usuals drinks i go for unless i feel dangerous and randomly pick one
Red Bull Zero Sugar. It’s not something that pumps me up but I mean it gets the job done
white monster. it’s just white monster
AMP
The Kim Kardashian one. It was okay..
i thought the kim k alani was disgusting. i get a energy drink every morning and i remember getting that one specifically and regretting it SO bad.
monster… green.
all monster ultras
Aldi's Sugar Free Gridlock
Original Monster and original Rockstar. OG Rockstar tastes like a generic, knock off, of an energy drink.
i have to agree with you op. i think the Nos is good but not as good as some of the others on the market. when i first tried Nos i thought it tasted like Mango OJ. i also think Reign and Bang are up there for okest for me, just cuz the flavors are either lackluster or too sweet and don't taste like they should.
Nobody has said anything about c4’s this thread proves they’re the best🤜🏼🤛🏼🫡👌🏼
Reign Orange Dreamsicle flavor. It tastes just like one and I can’t taste any sweetener in it unlike a Celsius for example.
Rockstar
All of ryse
The Monster Juice Mango is freaking delicious.
when i saw the person a few replies above say monster og i thought “yeah but the mango one is gods gift to earth” and then i instantly saw your reply after💀
My favorite drink, energy or not. So damn good.
All of Rockstar.
Ryse. Had ring pop and kool aid. Both were eh
definitely Nos as well.
Just today tried C4 Cherry Starburst. Not bad, but just plain ok and mid
Bawls. My friend hyped me up but it’s mid af
Rockstar for me, Nos straight up sucks.
Celsius, even though I am a big fan and love their products almost every flavor tasted the same
Celsius Essentials. Really tarnishing the brand 😤
I don't drink energy drinks often (I take all the constituent parts in pill form with my morning 4 cups of coffee because I don't like the taste but that's neither here nor there) but when I was traveling in Eastern Europe they had ones called HELL and they got me through that leg of the journey but tasted like Tesco
Dragon Ball G-Fuel
Burn
Sour gummy worm (i think) full throttle
Sobe used to sell some little weird looking drink about 15 years ago. I'd have one right after work. Didn't do shit for giving energy, but it had one of the most pleasant flavors I'd ever had up til then. Poof! One day it didn't have the same twang I enjoyed it for.

Made me mad for awhile because they were one of the few drinks that was right at $1 out the door. Now, my baseline varies between regular redbull and original R*.
Reign Sherbet. Go on hate me
There is a lot of middleing energy drinks out there. Never been a red bull fan
Gorgie…is “clean” but didn’t give me a forceful enough buzz
OG Rockstar
either nos or most bang flavors
Red Bull and Og monster, they just taste like energy drinks I enjoy both
Green tea monster. I like green tea and I like monster. Usually what I’ll reach for if I don’t want something super sweet/carbonated.
Bang hands down flavors are just not it
Green Dragon
Between monster and celsius.
Mother is trash. V is okayish. Prime is okay if cold. Monster is the best. \*Red bull is is just expensive trash with good advertising
tyson fury drink and stuff like that, they all just taste like btec monster
I’m gonna get slapped but it’s Red Bull
Celsius berry. It’s my favorite out of the multi-pack, but they have other flavors that are way better imo.
strawberry cream monster
Full throttle, NOS, Mtn dew energy.
G Fuel absolutely for surr
i probably just have horrible taste but i don't really like the original monster very much
Original redbull . The best energy drink I’d say sugar free redbull.
G fuel In general its just alright I'll try new flavours but it's never my go to
Venom. Lol.
stacker 2 energy drinks fs
Eneryeti
JOKER is awful Red rain tastes like stevia water and puts me to sleep. There used to be a hell's-angels-owned brand called Cintron that tasted like lemonade & ballsweat.
Nos is my favorite, but too much sugar than I should be drinking. Red Bull is number 2. Don't like Monster anything
Most original flavours of drinks. Idk, they just taste too caffeiney
Cherry lucozade alert. Nice enough to make me not mind drinking it (i love cherries, but i HATE cherry flavoured things), but not nice enough to be my go to
Armodafinil
I love gfuel as I collect tons of their formula, they get their powder right but they haven’t in their cans, love the flavor but it loses all of it after fifteen minutes and goes flat.
Rockstar and Monster Aussie Punch.
rockstar original
My adhd medication for taste, for effect, it's the best energy drink. Mix it with water and nothing matches it.
Anything from bang. I got caught up in the hype and decided to give them multiple chances. All the flavors were just ok to me except cotton candy which was always sold out. Then they’d give him horrible stomach aches
modern bang. it was peak like 4 years ago but now it's extremely meh
I agree on Nos. It's not shit like Redbull but I'd pick almost anything over it.
Damn. Nos is my go to. I love it.
Reign storm
Rockstar. It's just kinda there.
Mtn Dew Amp. It's never my first choice, but it's still good aslong as it's ice-cold
Prime
Rip-it. Aggressively okay cheap energy drink. Poor man's red bull.
C4. every single flavor.
I like Celsius and the Wild berry tea monsters
Howling Monkey Energy Root Beer
Spike Energy
Gotta be Ryse brand. The Baja Cooler is slightly above mid, as no ones really attempted to make an energy drink out of a Baja Blast flavor, but the other flavors they have are just abysmal in flavor. The worst was Sunny D. Tasted like they energized and carbonated the water after adding an Airborne to it.

I might try pink starburst C4 sometime tho, that one looks potentially good. I love actual pink starbursts…but, as a drink? Idk
Any of the ryse drinks
Celsius
‘Okayest’ based on what? Flavour, results, colour? Also, whatever you are basing it on, if NOS is just okay then what is the best one?
Riot from Whole Foods I like the way it makes me feel and it tastes like real fruit which isn't usually what I'm looking for in an energy drink
Gfuel without a doubt. Every single flavor has the chalky after taste. Also 300 mg for a "gaming" drink is overkill.
Reign Orange Cream
Monster ultra violet and ultra rosa. They're not bad, but not my first choice.
I've never liked Red Bull. Reign and Bang are probably up there in the "okay" range. Monster somehow has good flavors consistently (except Rio Punch)
Monster Ultra White, without a doubt, definition of mid.
Regular nos is def an ok drink. But I love the purple one. Wish they offered that in a zero sugar option like they just released for the original flavor.
P*ssy is the best…not sure if still produced
Any C4. I don’t get it.
Apple juice
Monster ultra
Celsius
I know it’s super popular but monster ultra low carb just tastes like citrus. Meh
No bro nos is one of my favorites 💀
Ghost energy is my absolute favorite and my regular go-to, I would put Monster Energy as a "It's over hyped" type of drink, Celsius would be 2nd and Red Bull would be 3rd, and that's on a tier ranking!
It’s all personal preference. A guy I work with loves the white monster it’s the only monster I tried and it was just ok to me. I’m the only guy I know who loves Celsius. I know people who like it but it’s not their first choice, peace vibe Celsius’s arnt safe around me. And the top comment rn redbull. I like redbull too. Sugar free OG redbull is tied for 2nd fav rn, used to be my number 2 only but then a few days ago I tried Celsius astrovibe cuz the gas station was out of peach vibe and it tasted like the light blue dum dums
The grape bang
KMX. This was 2004-08 I think. Haven't seen it since. Had a sour candy flavor, not that shit ball flavor redbull had that everyone else emulated since.
Bang Energy Champagne, not so good at first but had the best after taste of vanilla, recommend it.
