Here we are with another Hansen Monster Beverage, this time Kaos. This is from thes ame people who produce Rumba and Hansen energy, not to mention the Blue Sky line. That is why I am not sure why they decided Khaos should have only only 70% fruit. My only real issue with energy fruit juices is the amount of calories most of the drinks have, and provide less benefit because of the lack of juice.
Unless you just have to drink monster, there are about half a dozen better choices – just because they add more fruit in it does not mean it is healthy. Look at the marketing push for Sunny Delight – right next to the orange juices, even though that has only 15% juice. Monster does do some drinks really well, this is just not one of them.
Taste:4
I read from others that this tastes like a fruit punch, and I would have to agree. There is real juice in here, but that is not all – thereason is it so sweet is that is not where the sugar stops! they also fill it with sucralose and Ace K. Why all the sweetener? Well, with enough of the goo you can forget the taste and overload your buds – so drinking this tastes a little sour. This drink is like licking the Kool Aid packages before you add the water.
Packaging:
The can, like all of monsters products, lack listing the essentials, like the caffeine content and guarana. To most people picking these up – that is just as important as finding out the amount of taurine. The orange can is OK, but still noting special from them, going for a cheese Goth/Techno font for the Khaos, and printing on grey as opposed to the stark black of other cans. Still, pretty basic and plain from the same people who do the Amazingly designer Monster coffee drinks.
Buzz/Nutrition:6
I imagine this drink is like other monsters, providing about 160mg per can. Dont know for
sure – and there is so much sugar in this one you are drinking to get an old fashioned sugar rush and not even notice the caffeine. Ther is still some taurine, ginseng, caffeine, guarana, L-carinitine, inositol, glucuronolactone, maltodextrin, vitamin C and B vitamins, so it tries to at least fill you full of the monster energy drink mix – even if you have to pucker to do it.

NOthing about the specific drink, and not nearly enough cool from the company that helped redefine what the Energy Drink is supposed to be about. The whole design, concept and execution needs to be brought back to their drawing board and redone.
To be honest, it just tasted like a mix between monster and orange juice to me. I liked it. And I never get a buzz from any energy drinks, derp. Medicine I take is always all "NOPE NOT HAPPENING," so I just drink this stuff for taste like the weirdo I am. 😛
