OK this was really bad as well I am really hoping to review something tasty sometime soon. I mean Go Fast, Rockstar, and Monster have been at the top of my list for awhile now. This sucks a co worker described it as rotting fruit mixed with urine. I don't think it was that bad, but it did have a very bitter and acidic taste. It was like a red bull that was left out for awhile and then chilled down again. Sorry Jones I liked some of your other drinks, but this one kinda tasted like moldy fruit. So everyone that tried this said the taste was bad but how about the pump upedness? Just average... it does work it does have some stuff in it, but just nothing out of the ordinary making it worth the taste? So does it cover the taste of alcohol to make a good mixed drink? Nope cause a bad flavor mixed with a bad vodka just makes an overall worst drink.

I disagree. I think it is pretty good, esspecially compared to the ones you've mentioned.
Posted by: Neil at August 27, 2005 01:08 PMi have never had the drink but looks and sounds good. Jones does a good job of making drinks, so this energy drink should be pretty good

p.s-where and what store can i get them at?
BUT BAWLS IS BY FAR THE BEST!!!!
ok, first of all, it sounds like you're a pusy. I think that these Jones Energy drinks are the best tasting out there. You said that you liked the Monster and the Rockstar energy drinks. Personally, I think the Rockstar tastes kinda like the jones energy drinks, and the Monster tastes like shit. If you wanna taste an energy drink that tastes bad try Full Throttle. And by you saying in an earlier article, that you like the lo-carb monster energy drink, that just leads me to believe even more, that you have terrible taste. Those taste kinda like a flat mountain dew with added carbonation, so that it still fizzes. And also you said that jones energy drinks only packed a normal punch...I normally run about 5:10-5:15 in the mile, and I drank one of these before doing so a couple times, and both times my times were under 4:50. Explain that. And before you go about saying that everyone thinks that the drink tastes bad, you should make sure that you don't have a biased group of people. Take a look at the jones website and you'll notice that all 3 of the jones energy drinks are rated a 4.3 stars out of 5. not bad in my opinion.
Posted by: Dustin at February 11, 2006 02:02 AMthis is a response to your post Stuart. You used to be able to get them at your local target, but I haven't seen them there since last year around this time, when I bought a 4 pack of orange. They also used to be in gas stations. I sent an email to jones asking if they still sold them, and if so, why I couldn't find them anywhere around here.
Posted by: Dustin at February 11, 2006 02:06 AMJones energy orange is on clearance at target and it tastes like drinking an orange tic-tac.
which is creepy.

Posted by: minkssss at April 13, 2006 09:17 AMLook, most of this guys reviews seemed pretty legit until I read this one. I'm sorry but this is just plain wrong. Do NOT listen to this guy's opinion of jones, as he has very bad taste. Go out and buy it(It's very cheap in bulk, I got a 24 pack of 16 oz for 18 bucks. Thats less than a dollar per can.) Anyway try it for yourself. In my opinion it tastes like a Jones Apple Soda mixed with Redbull or Rockstar. It sounds like he was drinking a warm one, and I will give it that they taste like absolute shit when warm. Have it nice and cold, and they are one of the best energy drinks out there. Not to mention it seems to be more powerful, and it gives me an energy kick that rockstar and monster don't seem to. (Jones says limit 2 per day, Rockstar says 3 or 4)

Posted by: KevBurnsJr at January 25, 2007 12:41 PMI bought a case at costco for under $20.
I usually drink Monster Lo-Carb, but I'm also a cheap-ass, always on the look out for a deal.
I'm halfway through this crap and very dissapointed. Hyper sweet, too tart and full on gross. I have to suck this down with a straw so I don't taste it as much.
I'm back to monster as soon as I kill this case.
Avoid it.
I hate Jones energy soda personally. Monster is the stuff for me. It just tastes so much better. I LOVE MONSTER!
Posted by: matt at May 7, 2007 05:23 PMI don't see what is up with people complaining about the taste of an energy drink. If you want a sweet, good tasting drink then drink a soda. If you want energy then drink an energy drink. Hence the name ENERGY drink. I have not been across a single energy drink I did not want to drink because of taste. Its really not that hard to gulp one down.
Posted by: Brian at May 11, 2007 11:00 PMSounds like your pushing the more expensive drinks I get Jones at Walmart a 4 pack of 16 oz for $3.95 Monster and the others are double that and believe me I drink 2 a day and I have for years Jones is just fine Monster and Full Throttle suck. My favorite is Adrenaline Rush. Have A Great Day lol
