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.
Sweet and Refreshing Orange Flavor
First, let's talk about the taste of THE DOCTOR. The color is a bright gold, and the taste and aroma are exactly as expected—a refreshing and sweet orange. The balance of acidity is great, and the sweetness is refreshing, probably due to the tanginess of the orange.
The flavor itself is a crisp orange, but it's not weak; in fact, it's quite rich. It has a Mogu-Mogu texture, and personally, it feels like a softened version of the sharpness found in Extra Strength.
When it's ice-cold, the orange flavor becomes incredibly smooth, making it perfect for summer as a go-to energy drink.
Even after finishing it, you can still feel the orange aroma emanating from within. This is similar to the richness and intensity of Extra Strength.
Despite having only 4% fruit juice, there were little bits of orange pulp—or rather, godly sediment—present!
Though it's hard to tell in the photo, there was a noticeable presence, and as an energy drink enthusiast, I was thrilled by this discovery (u_u*)
The carbonation is mild, and the flavor, aroma, and richness are all at a high average level, with the sharpness toned down (compared to Extra Strength), so I felt that it had a great balance and overall completion as an energy drink. I gave it a perfect score for the balance of taste, aroma, intensity, and Mogu-Mogu texture (*´艸`*)
The Premium Feel of Valentino Rossi's Monster Energy
Now, let's talk about the can design of THE DOCTOR.
The bright yellow color is unmistakably Valentino Rossi's signature, making it really stand out. Many people must have thought, "What is this!?"
The surface of the can is textured, similar to the Ultra Series.
( ゚д゚)ハッ! Maybe it’s a design that mimics the texture of an orange?
The can's surface is heavily adorned with the sun and moon beneath the "THE DOCTOR" logo, fully embracing the Rossi theme.
The back of the can features Valentino Rossi's signature along with details about his achievements. I can't remember a Monster Energy can being so completely dedicated to an original design like this.
Valentino Rossi himself is more than just a legend, and it’s incredible that they used "The Doctor" and the sun and moon directly in the product name, with VR|46 front and center. This limited-edition can is an amazing collaboration, reflecting a strong respect for Rossi, and I’m genuinely moved by it.
However, the pull-tab was a bit disappointing. It was just a regular pull-tab...(´・ω・`)
It would have been great if it had the Monster logo or VR|46 on it (*´・ω・)(・ω・`*)ネー
I'm Really Glad It's 500ml, Not 473ml (´;ω;`)
I rated everything with 5 stars.
If you like NOS Original, you'll really enjoy THE DOCTOR.
It has a flavor and aroma strength similar to Extra Strength, and the strong, sweet-sour orange flavor delivers the kind of punch you’d expect from an energy drink. Overall, it has a very high level of completeness.
I’m really glad it’s 500ml instead of 473ml...
The energy ingredients are the usual—160mg of caffeine, 2000mg of taurine, and the Monster Energy blend with ginseng and carnitine. MONSTER ENERGY THE DOCTOR is a product that I can confidently recommend not only to Valentino Rossi fans but also to energy drink enthusiasts. v(´∀`*v)
Note: As of May 2014, this product was a non-sale item distributed exclusively at MotoGP venues. It gradually became available for sale across various European countries and is now sold in many European markets.
