Monster Energy Juiced Mango Loco

Mango in its ripe form, carried by real fruit juice. That juice thickens the can in the mouth and takes carbonation out of it, so it fizzes less than a regular Monster. Sweetness runs high and acidity low, which makes this one of the fuller cans in the Juice line. Next to Pipeline Punch, which has more sides to it, Mango Loco is straightforward: one fruit, start to finish.

The juice percentage is printed on the back and differs per market, as does the size. In a smaller can the mango comes across more concentrated. The skull-and-flowers design has been revised several times, and the older American run differs clearly from the European one normally found on shelves here. Anyone collecting the line by country runs into Mango Loco almost everywhere, which makes it a good starting point but the rare runs that much harder to spot.
