I got this bottle from a Petro Canada for $3.79 along with the Tropic Thunder and Manic Melon ones.
Taste
Mean Green smells and tastes like a limeade. A better way to describe it would be a flat lemon-lime soda drink that has sat out a bit too long and some of the water had evaporated thus making it a tiny bit sweeter than it should be. But the lemon near the finish helps cut the sweetness down to a more manageable level and leaves your mouth feeling fairly refreshing.
This flavor is nothing unique, but its non-carbonated nature makes it very easy to drink, especially when you are thirsty and tired.
Energy
As with all the other Hydros, there are 138 mg of caffeine in the bottle. The effects are also similar, which is why I will recycle some words here.
I started to feel the effects within 10 minutes, which manifested themselves through a mild shaky leg. Damn those sugars (25 grams in the bottle by the way). The rest of the energy started coming in another 10 minutes later with my mind clearing up from the morning fog and me getting the urge to go down to the gym. The kick was fairly clean and lasted for almost 2 hours.
Scores:
Cost - $3.79
Taste - 7.5/10
Energy - 7/10
Overall - 14.5/20...standard flavor
