Nitrous Monster: Super Dry Energy Drink
As if Monster wasn’t already charging ahead fast enough, they’ve gone ahead and bolted a tank of nitrous in their trunk.
I’m referring to the newest Monster trim: Nitrous. Once Monster hits that red button and fully infiltrates the market with this drink, the extra horsepower is going to violently slam them to the front of the pack.
Here I offer a review of one of the three flavors I’ve seen of Monster Nitrous: Super Dry. In the lustfully exciting world of aftermarket car tuning, a nitrous tank is one of the most extreme additions one can buy. A good shot of nitrous can temporarily give horsepower boosts in the triple digits. The best type of nitrous is “dry” as opposed to “wet”, hence the name of this flavor.
Taste
When you first try this drink, I challenge you to concentrate on the flavor. It’s not easy, considering that you’re going to be perplexed by the experience, which is unlike any other on the market.
Have you ever put something in your mouth that fizzes? Fizz candies, soda pop candies? Alka Seltzer? Oh you did? You know you’re supposed to dissolve the Alka Selzter first, right? Well anywho, this is all I have to equate the Monster Nitrous experience to. It’s a very open, airy, and expansive carbonated beverage effect that you just have to try for yourself.
Once you get past the bubbly, it’s evident that Monster went back to the drawing board. All evidence of the basic Monster taste has been dissolved away by the carbonated and nitrogenated water, and what’s left is a delicious citrus taste with a berry hint. It’s a winner!
Ingredients
Unscrew the cap from the sweet new can and within lies a 200% DV of Vitamins B2, 3, 6, and 12 along with 2,000mg of Taurine. Caffeine? Rudely buried alongside guarana in what’s known as a bullshi.. err proprietary blend. Monster, grow up and disclose the content already, you’re above this.
Leading the ingredients list is “carbonated and nitrogenated water”. The word nitrogenated tells us nothing about how many nitrogen and oxygen molecules we’re dealing with in the bond, which is everything considering their claims.
Effect:
If Monster normally gets you moving, so will Monster Nitrous. To my disappointment, don’t expect much more than that. In the one time I had this drink, I noticed no difference in effect from a 16oz can. Oh, FYI the Nitrous can holds 12 ounces.
Verdict
Aside the clever marketing trickery, the new Monster Nitrous energy drinks deliver a stellar experience that will place them in a Top 20 list of almost every energy drink consumer. I just wish we had more information about how legit their claims of nitrous oxide injection are.

I just got this and the closest thing to taste that I could figure out, was it taste like a Mellow Yello only sweeter and with some citrus flavor in it, thats it. I was dumbfounded at first but I knew it tasted like another soda or drink I’ve had before.
I think this stuff tastes a lot like the upside-down 7up the use to sell a few years back, anyone remember dnL? It’s even the same color. I loved the stuff when it was out, so thus I really like the Monster Nitrous super dry : )
Damn you Monster. I had just broken free of energy drinks, when you had to come back with this insanely awesome product. Super Dry, Anti-Gravity, they’re all so delicious. I hate you so much, I’m throwing my greenbacks into your greedy coffers because you’re so DAMN AWESOME, I can’t help it!
I drank two back to back on a hangover and almost died too much energy in dry
It’s good.
Monster’s Nitrus and AntiGravity flavors could be described as “Straight Up Awesome” and “Winning”.
I personally like to switch between the AntiGravity Orange and the Lime – both are very flavorful and have the punch of energy drinks without as much crash.
The Imports are pretty nice too, but the cool thing about good energy drinks is they saturate the body with vitamins that caffeine depletes – B Complex…etc.
By far the craziest combo you can try is a can of Mountain Dew Voltage mixed with Zip Fiz Grape – that’ll kick your ass.
Monster energy has 160 mg per 16 ounce can
They sell these at the gas station in my town I was surprised by a sudden loud pop when ripping off the plastic covering over the lid and I assume if you shake up the can prior to opening the lid would shoot off like a cork in a bottle of wine so be careful
the flavor (green can) tastes nothing like the original (tastes somewhat bitter, definitely lime, and its almost like there was alcohol in it but there isn’t)
it does seem to pack an extra punch of energy though
The reason it has that smooth “fizziness” is because its not carbonated, its nitrogenated.
It’s the closest-tasting thing to Surge, and that is a fantastic thing. Bring back SURGE!
