Monster Energy Punch Pipeline Punch

Three fruits taking turns: passion fruit up front, orange underneath and guava rounding it off. The fruit juice makes the can fuller and takes carbonation out of it. It is sweet, but the passion fruit brings enough acidity to stop it turning heavy. Of the cans made with juice this is the most composed one; Mango Loco beside it stays with a single fruit.

The juice percentage is printed on the back and differs per market, which decides how far the guava comes through. Pipeline Punch is one of the few flavours available almost everywhere, and that is what makes it interesting to collect: many country versions exist with small differences in print and size. A glass bottle version also exists. That bottle version is rarer in the Netherlands than the can and tends to be traded separately.
