I have been admiring this one for months over at the energy drink subreddit and now it is finally in Canada! I got this from 7-11 where there are having a promotion on these - 2 for $6. Usually they are running closer to $4 each.
Taste
This Mango Loco has an orange color and it is very hazy, like a mango nectar with club soda. The aroma is incredible with a ton of mango but also a bit of tangerine and orange. The mouthfeel is thick and the taste is very similar to Monster's Khaos and Anti-Gravity but heavier on the mango while the orange/tangerine notes are more towards the end. And there is even a tiny bit of guava that develops in the aftertaste once you have a few sips.
The mango flavor is comparable to a fresh, thick mango nectar and it is equally sweet. Pretty good overall flavor but nothing to get excited about over.
Energy
There are 151 mg of caffeine in the can and 55 grams of sugar which is what gets you going and gives you a jittery rush right away. The caffeine kicks in 30 or so minutes later and lasts for 2 - 2.5 hours. Pretty standard for such a drink.
Scores:
Cost - on sale - 2 for $6 CAD
Taste - 8.4/10
Energy - 7.5/10
Overall - 15.9/20...great improvement over the existing mango flavor but nothing new or spectacular
