The Artificial Palate

About the palate

Over five years of trying energy drinks. Finally, somewhere to keep the tasting notes.

I'm Kristofers Solo. I've spent over five years trying all sorts of energy drinks, from familiar favourites to whatever new flavour appears on the shelf. This is my record of the cans worth remembering, and a few I would rather forget.

Why trust this palate?

My qualification is a lot of cans and a memory for the good ones. Monster Ultra Violet was my first Monster, and it is still my favourite. Every promising new drink has that one to answer to.

You may disagree with the scores. That's useful too. Read a review of something you know, see where our tastes meet, and decide how much weight to give mine.

What I'm tasting for

I judge the flavour, balance and aftertaste, and rate each drink from 1 to 10. Mostly, I want to know whether I'd buy it again.
