In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of MONSTER ENERGY RESERVE ORANGE DREAMSICLE

Opening the can, a rich orange and creamy, milky aroma fills the air. The scent of orange is strong, but the creamy fragrance doesn't get overshadowed, maintaining its own presence. What could it taste like? Let's take a sip.
Flavor of MONSTER ENERGY RESERVE ORANGE DREAMSICLE

Upon tasting, the orange sweetness and creamy sweetness blend beautifully, delivering a flavor reminiscent of orange cream soda. In a word, it's quite delicious!

Creamy flavors can often border on being unpalatable, but the RESERVE ORANGE DREAMSICLE hits the mark.

The tangy orange flavor is complemented by the sweetness of orange pulp and milk cream, creating a smooth, flavorful, and creamy taste that’s well-balanced. The orange’s natural umami is preserved while the creamy undertones enhance it without overpowering the fruitiness. The aftertaste is clean and light, with a soft, sweet cream aroma lingering just enough, making it refreshing without being cloying.

Despite its fullness, this drink doesn’t overwhelm the palate, making it enjoyable all the way through the 473ml can. The balance of taste and aroma is spot on, and the fact that it’s half-sugar adds to its appeal.

The design feels a bit understated for a new series. While the official Monster Energy website includes this product under the original line, we classify it separately as part of the "RESERVE series" for clarity.

The can has a silver top and orange tab.

This combination of classic black with silver and orange evokes nostalgic memories of the old school Monster Energy days from nearly 20 years ago. It’s a personal draw that I find hard to resist.

About Orange Dreamsicle

"DREAMSICLE" refers to an ice treat that was made by coating milk ice with orange sherbet.

These days, instead of "DREAMSICLE," the term "CREAMSICLE," popularized by the North American ice brand POPSICLE, is more commonly used for products that feature a creamy orange flavor.

What is ORANGE DREAMSICLE?

The orange and creamy flavors are so iconic that the term "CREAMSICLE" is applied to everything from ice pops to candy, drinks, and even candles. When considering this as a flavor inspired by the orange and creamy ice treat, it’s easy to see why the can color features both orange and cream tones.

MONSTER ENERGY RESERVE ORANGE DREAMSICLE
For trademark reasons, Monster Energy opted to use "DREAMSICLE" in the product name. Interestingly, the trademarks for "DREAMSICLE" and "ORANGE DREAMSICLE" in the soft drink and energy drink categories are owned by Monster Energy's subsidiary, REIGN, which released a Zero Sugar version of the same product in 2020.
