Mother Frosty Berry
″no pretty packing can save a bland punch”
5.5/10
Hello, and welcome back to another energy drink review! today I’m reviewing the Frosty Berry flavoured Mother energy drink! for those who don’t live in the Oceanic region, Mother is an energy drink produced in Australia and New Zealand, under the same company as Monster. the European energy drink Relentless is the exact same drink, just with a different colour. a little fun fact for you all :)
So as like last time, I’ll start with the positives and go into the negatives. The first positive that just has to be discussed is the can. it is absolutely stunning! the can has various shades of purple, all of which work very well with each other. as pretty as the Rockstar can was, I have to give the props here to Frosty Berry; it’s stunning. the back of the can introduces black, which is also the background for the nutritional table. it works very well, and while the colours aren’t bright by any means, it’s certainly eye catching! the various fonts on the can are just as pleasing to the eye as the colours are.
The scent of this drink is really nothing to talk about. it isn’t strong at all, it’s a subtle scent that’s hard to pick up even when drinking it. personally, i’d prefer a stronger scent, but i’m sure many others would enjoy the faintness of it.
Now onto the flavour of the drink. similar to the scent, the flavour of this drink is so subtle and, in my opinion, bland. is it a nice flavour? yes, but it doesn’t have any strong kick or delicious flavour like other energy drinks i’ve tried and, sadly, the so called “berry” flavour isn’t as obvious as i’d like it to be. no pretty packaging can save a bland punch, you know? the flavour of this drink is why i scored it down so low.
Mother’s energy kj count is at 957 per serving, which is way lower than the previously reviewed Rockstar drink; 1430. Frosty Berry also has a low sugar count of 52g, which is just lower than a Monster’s 57, and significantly lower than Rockstar’s 83.5g. the caffeine of this drink is the same as really any other energy drink, 160g, so although the energy count may be a bit low, you’d be most likely getting the same amount of kick as you would with other energy drinks. I would also assume you would be getting a lesser crash than other energy drinks.
So overall, not exactly sometime I’d go out of my way to drink all the time. the can’s beautiful packaging and the lower energy and sugar counts upped this drink up to 6, but the lack of good flavour and scent lowered it down to 5.5 out of 10. although, I will give it credit: unlike other mothers, which I may be reviewing in the future, this one I can actually finish. If you’re a fan of subtle scents and flavours, and want perhaps a slightly healthier option, i suppose Mother’s Frosty Berry is good for you! if not, I wouldn’t really recommend this drink!
thank you for reading my review~!
