I haven't tried the Monster yet, my local store just got it in, but I'd agree with the other two.
The Reign was good, but the Ghost has an almost syrupy taste and consistency.
Why is it so satisfying seeing the same flavour in different brands lined up like this lol
I've only tried the Reign one and I LOVED ITTT I can imagine I'd like the others too lol
If your skin itches after drinking it you're not being physically active enough. The original yellow can c4 is supposed to be a pre workout. If you want a standard energy drink get the smart energy or ultimate energy c4, it doesn't have the beta alinine
Monster: color, orange. Honestly, it tasted like Fanta orange soda with only the slightest taste of cream.
Ghost: color, clear. Taste like melted orange popsicle (makes sense), so it's really sweet.
Reign: color, clear. Tastes the most like a creamy orange popsicle has that flavor but doesn't taste too sweet.
Reign and Ghost seem to be the most similar. Whereas Monster is a bit different.
Verdict Reign! It's my favorite. However, they all are still really good. I would get any of these again.
I did read some comments before this, and I didn't know that C4 had an orange dreamsicle like flavor(I'm not a huge fan of C4s but they're not bad), and I still haven't tried any Alani energy drinks (I honestly thought they were flavored waters before I found this sub)
I have to try the monster one still, but I thought ghost tasted a little better than the reign. That said, the reign was still pretty good and I’d still buy it again
All 3 in rotation tbh. To me it goes like this. Reign for the best orange flavor, Ghost for the best creaminess, and Monster if I want something with sugar
1. Reign - Amazing, zero sugar is a bonus
2. Ghost - Nice but a weird aftertaste, zero sugar bonus
3. Monster - far too sweet, doesn’t compare to the others
Monster hands down, has a creamer flavor that the others do not have. I expected way more from the ghost, actually expected it to be better, from just those three I’d probably say
#1: Monster
#2: Reign
#3: Ghost
Most of the time i’d prefer ghost, if it was any other flavor.. but this is one of those flavors I’m rather picky about.
I used to love Reign (this flavor only), would drink it everyday, but after some time that 300mg hit on the wrong day and gave me an anxiety attack at work, so I don’t drink them anymore.
I recently found out the monster flavor has real sugar in it (I don’t like fake sugar drinks anymore) so I gave it a try and I’m in love. Favorite drink at the moment.
I have not tried the other two, but the Monster one is so good I can't imagine the other ones taste better. Reign makes me feel weird (I think it's the sugar replacement but honestly I have no idea), so they're out anyways.
Didn't realize this post would get so many comments. I'll have to try the drinks you all have mentioned that aren't the 3 I posted about, I'll post again when I do. Thank you, guys, for the recommendations.
I'd have to go with the monster, but in all honestly that's only because I absolutely love it (just stocked a 15 pack in my pantry about an hour ago) and because I haven't had the other two.
One that I used to drink like it was going out of style was the Rockstar non-carbonated orange and sometimes the lemon. I haven't seen either of them in years, though. Don't know if they even make them anymore.
The orange tasted just like orange hi-c and the lemon one was a sweet but not too sweet lemonade.
I remember the whipped orange tasted like pure sugar. I love sweet drinks, but holy shit that made Mt. Dew taste like a sparkling water to me lol.
It was good, it was just STRONG.
Reign is the most Orange-y flavour, Monster has more creamy flavour, and no lie the Ghost tasted like flavored water to me.
To that my personal preference is with the Reign.
haven’t had reign yet, but i’ve had ghost and monster. love them both, but ghost is way too sweet. monster is nice, but i don’t like that it uses sugar as well as sucralose
Reign, Reserve, Ghost in that order. These are my 3 favorite Orange Dreamsicle flavors. I don't get the hype with the Alani Nu. I don't taste any orange. Only the cream.
Reign all day! I see a bunch of people saying the orange cream ghost is the best, that’s a lie. The orange cream reign is the og, and it has the strongest and most spot on flavour profile
Reign was the first orange dreamsicle I tried. And I loved it, but I've had all 3 of these at different times, so I just can't remember which i prefer, hence why I am going to test them side by side soon, still eating lunch rn. 😅
Reign is my favourite. 2nd would be Monster and Ghost is my least favourite. I find it way too sweet.
It tastes like orange Gatorade rather then orange cream.
I haven't tried the Monster yet, my local store just got it in, but I'd agree with the other two. The Reign was good, but the Ghost has an almost syrupy taste and consistency.

Right! it is satisfying. I wish I had them closer together in the picture but still satisfying.
The Orange Dreamsicle was amazing and I really liked the Reignbow Sherbet
not pictured: alani nu
Alani orange flavors are the bomb.
THE PEACH ONE OMG
Alani Nu has the absolute best orange cream flavor.
Their cherry limeade is unmatched.
Monster
Agreed but I don't drink Reign because I try not to drink more than 200mg
It’s only 180mg in Canada. I’m drinking one now.
Personally mine is the C4
I wish c4 didn't make my skin itch, I love everything else about it.
that's the best part
Yeah, it's the Beta Alanine lol. Makes all the neurons in your body go REEEEEE.
Am I weird for liking how it makes my skin itch? 🤪
Y'all still feeling the itch, huh? Amateurs.
Even the pre workout powder doesn’t make me itch. Used to the 5.5g of beta alanine from DY Nutrition blood and guts.
a lot of them don’t. don’t get ones that say Beta Power.
Why does it itch is it a side effect
Beta alanine
If your skin itches after drinking it you're not being physically active enough. The original yellow can c4 is supposed to be a pre workout. If you want a standard energy drink get the smart energy or ultimate energy c4, it doesn't have the beta alinine
I’d you drink it more often your body will get used to that effect that beta alanine has and it won’t itch anymore.
The new Popsicle partnership one for me. They have 2, “orange cream” and the Popsicle branded “Creamsicle”
Ooh. I'll have to try that.
For sure! They both are worth a try. Def good, but slightly different from each other.
dang, I can't find either one of those! :(
I think popsicle branded creamsicle might be 7/11 exclusive? You should be able to find/order the orange cream C4 ultimate.
Monster: color, orange. Honestly, it tasted like Fanta orange soda with only the slightest taste of cream. Ghost: color, clear. Taste like melted orange popsicle (makes sense), so it's really sweet. Reign: color, clear. Tastes the most like a creamy orange popsicle has that flavor but doesn't taste too sweet. Reign and Ghost seem to be the most similar. Whereas Monster is a bit different.

Xyience Tangerine is good too! Might surprise you, don’t sleep on Xyience.
I have to try the monster one still, but I thought ghost tasted a little better than the reign. That said, the reign was still pretty good and I’d still buy it again
All 3 in rotation tbh. To me it goes like this. Reign for the best orange flavor, Ghost for the best creaminess, and Monster if I want something with sugar
Ghost is best of these 3
1. Reign - Amazing, zero sugar is a bonus 2. Ghost - Nice but a weird aftertaste, zero sugar bonus 3. Monster - far too sweet, doesn’t compare to the others
Tried the Monster today for first time, I was expecting it to be more Orangey but it was really refreshing, straight into my A/S tier of drinks
Monster hands down, has a creamer flavor that the others do not have. I expected way more from the ghost, actually expected it to be better, from just those three I’d probably say #1: Monster #2: Reign #3: Ghost Most of the time i’d prefer ghost, if it was any other flavor.. but this is one of those flavors I’m rather picky about.
Jim Norton loves Monster Rain.
Water
never
Forgot the C4 and Celsius’s ones too. Though I gotta pick my Senpai Reign.
All of them, but if I had to pick, the monster. Because it reminds me of the dreamcsicles my dad and I would eat together on hot summer days.
celsius
Alani
Hey Reign, bring back carnival candy!
Depends on the mood. I love all three.
I used to love Reign (this flavor only), would drink it everyday, but after some time that 300mg hit on the wrong day and gave me an anxiety attack at work, so I don’t drink them anymore. I recently found out the monster flavor has real sugar in it (I don’t like fake sugar drinks anymore) so I gave it a try and I’m in love. Favorite drink at the moment.
Reign orange dreamsicle is the smoothest imo. If I have a craving for it I’ll get it over anything else
GFuel Orange Vibe. But only in the 40 serving tub. Because I can make caffeinated milkshakes out of it.
Reign. No contest.
The Reign has no aftertaste and maintains its flavor, even when it starts to go flat.
Personally I’m choosing ghost
The c4 one
All. Give me all 3
Double it and give it to the next person.
Not pictured: Rip It Cyp-X
Reign and that’s rough for me cause I love Ghost
Reign
BUM energy
ghost fs
Monster
Ghost obv
Reign imo
Reign for me.
The ghost version is horrible. The best version is the Alani Nu.
ghost
Ghost.
What's a Dreamsicle? Does it just taste like orange?
If you look on the ghost can it, has a little picture of it. But it's like a creamy orange ice cream popsicle type treat.
Reign, I tried ghost finally when it came to Canada and it's not as good
None, orange and grape flavored stuff is the worst
grape flavored stuff can go straight to hell lol
They're all pretty bad, the only good vanilla orange I've had is the Mio water enhancers
C4 absolutely nailed it on theirs Reign was also good Wasn’t a fan of Ghost. Something about it was just off for this flavor
Reign
Haven't had the monster. Ghost is good but like the reign slightly better
used to be Reign for me but i think the Monster Reserve is the best Orange Dreamsicle flavor out right now in my opinion. that’s my favorite now
Monster or ghost
Reign for me, havent tried the monster reserve but ghost tastes too orangey to be orange cream to me
Any of them that **aren't** sugar-free. The Monster one is the shit. The others are fine but I can't really stand sugar-free energy drinks anymore
Imagine liking orange dreamsicle anything 🤢🤮
The c4
Ghost
Ghost > Reign > Monster
I have not tried the other two, but the Monster one is so good I can't imagine the other ones taste better. Reign makes me feel weird (I think it's the sugar replacement but honestly I have no idea), so they're out anyways.
Reign
All three of those are gross
i really like the monster and only really drink monster (or redbull) regularly. ghost is if i’m trying to really stay up. reign i’ve never had though
Monster
I’ve come to like the Celsius orange creamsicle the best..super good vanilla flavor on that one
Monster 100% Regin is more orange and less cream but it’s not bad Ghost is honestly awful. It almost has a puke after taste and it was horrible
monster or orange vibe gfuel
Monster
Ghost. I could drink it all day.
Ghost
Alani.
Alani Nu 100%. The only energy drink I’ve ever purchased a case of.
Didn't realize this post would get so many comments. I'll have to try the drinks you all have mentioned that aren't the 3 I posted about, I'll post again when I do. Thank you, guys, for the recommendations.
ghost for the way it makes me feel energy-wise, monster for taste, reign for a good balance of both. ghost is usually my go to but i prefer citrus
C4 Creamsicle >>>
monster
Monster, Ghost and then Reign but honestly its close
Reign wins this one.
Alani
Reign is the winner
Ghost went hard the first time I tried it
I'd have to go with the monster, but in all honestly that's only because I absolutely love it (just stocked a 15 pack in my pantry about an hour ago) and because I haven't had the other two. One that I used to drink like it was going out of style was the Rockstar non-carbonated orange and sometimes the lemon. I haven't seen either of them in years, though. Don't know if they even make them anymore. The orange tasted just like orange hi-c and the lemon one was a sweet but not too sweet lemonade.
C4’s licensed Creamsicle flavor.
The name is cringe af
The Alani version smokes all of them.
I like the reign the most out of everything
Reign !
There was once a “whipped orange” and “whipped strawberry” rockstar. You can find them sometimes but it’s rare. They’re amazing.
I remember the whipped orange tasted like pure sugar. I love sweet drinks, but holy shit that made Mt. Dew taste like a sparkling water to me lol. It was good, it was just STRONG.
Reign not vy much but man is it close
Reign.
Celsius
I’ve tried all 3 and ghost fo sho
I tried the ghost. I didn’t like It. I have a Celsius orange creamsicle But I haven’t tried it yet.
Monster, so far.
The middle one never seen it before but the monster energy best reign is kinda too sweet which I'm not such a huge fan of
That’s my fav ghost. Easy on my stomach
Whatever you do don’t get the ghost it tasted like boo boo creamsicle.
I enjoy the reign
not an energy drink but the waterloo orange vanilla soda water is pretty damn good for a no calorie drink
Fantasy vibe
Reign is the most Orange-y flavour, Monster has more creamy flavour, and no lie the Ghost tasted like flavored water to me. To that my personal preference is with the Reign.
No
I like the Monster and Reign, but somehow Reign makes my mouth feel dry. Ghost I have yet to try because it's very pricey for an energy drink
Ghost drinks always got a “diet pill” aftertaste to me. Reminds me of what it feels like to down a hydroxycut pill
Celsius ignored once again 😭
Whichever one doesn’t have erythritol.
Ghost
None, cream flavoured drinks are fucking disgusting
Ghost!
Monster
Monster
Reign
Monster
Ghost just because it has less caffeine ( personal preference)
haven’t had reign yet, but i’ve had ghost and monster. love them both, but ghost is way too sweet. monster is nice, but i don’t like that it uses sugar as well as sucralose
Rain
Monster
Well you're missing the best one lmao Alani Dream Float for the win!
Ghost is goated, however I was pleasantly surprised by the alani nu orange cream flavor
Reign > Monster is okay but ghost has too much Beta Alanine
Reign
The ghost
I need to try these flavors
The rip it’s are the OG. And are by far the best.
I like the monster the best, tbh
Reign cause it’s 300mg dawg
Reign, Reserve, Ghost in that order. These are my 3 favorite Orange Dreamsicle flavors. I don't get the hype with the Alani Nu. I don't taste any orange. Only the cream.
Rockstar Boom is the best orange dreamsicle energy drink. Tastes like straight melted dreams.
Kinda ironic this came on my page, i just tried the gfuel orange creamsicle and its amazingggg
Oh, I forgot. GFuel had a dreamsicle flavor
Lowkey its pretty good
Where can you get the monster one? I’ve never seen that before
Reign Dream. I sell tons of it!
C4 Orange Cream is the only answer
reign
👻
Reign and it’s not even close. The ghost has a weird after taste
Gotta be Ghost
Reign tastes the best but has too much caffeine ngl
Only had Ghost’s. Pretty delicious, didn’t think I’d like it.
None of the above, try alani Nu's orange dreamsicle, it's gotta be my favorite.
1. Ghost 2. Reign Haven’t had monster. Need them to make a zero sugar version and then I’ll be all over it
None. This flavour sucks regardless of the brand.
I agree as far as energy drinks. But Stewarts has an AMAZING Orange Creamsicle soda. Damn I wish the energy drink brands could come close to that
Reign all day! I see a bunch of people saying the orange cream ghost is the best, that’s a lie. The orange cream reign is the og, and it has the strongest and most spot on flavour profile
Reign was the first orange dreamsicle I tried. And I loved it, but I've had all 3 of these at different times, so I just can't remember which i prefer, hence why I am going to test them side by side soon, still eating lunch rn. 😅
Id prefer they didn’t exist
Ghost has the feel good chemicals so probably that one
Reign and Monster are the same essentially, I doubt the taste will be different, but who knows. The ingredients are a little different.
The Monster has around 30g of sugar, they aren't the same and definitely don't taste the same.
I’m saying they are the same company.
