I finally found the last flavour in the current line of Beaver Buzz drinks - Green Machine. This is the old name, the current is Green Melon. The can is also the old style - 473 mL, rather than the slim and tall 355 mL.
The drink really is green, very green in fact, and has a pleasant melon scent. The taste is made up of 3 different stages which are noticeable in every sip. The first stage is the most enjoyable one. Here the melon taste is the strongest and cleanest. In the second stage, you start noticing the taste of the energy ingredients, which by now overpower the melon taste. In the third stage, you start detecting a medicine taste, similar to that of regular Monster. By this time, the melon taste has almost disappeared. The good news is that the pleasant taste comes back in the aftertaste which makes you forget that you had to go through the stages 2 and 3. After the first third of the can, the stages start blending together as the sweetness builds up and you become more used to drinking it. This is where the taste becomes a bit more enjoyable and the melon flavour noticeable through out the entire drinking process.
The can contains the standard amount of caffeine for a 473 mL Beaver Buzz drink - 200 mg. I felt awakened about 15 minutes after consuming the first the first quarter of the can. About 10 minutes after that I was feeling wired, but not very jittery. Wait for another 15 minutes and get ready to experience some uncontrollable energy with some jitters. After half an hour the jitters subside and you are left simply energized. The energy kick lasted for about 3-4 hours and I did not experience a crash at the end. Another great Beaver Buzz that works.
