Agreed about the sweetness, but I didn’t like that so much. I have tried all the Surge flavors except Root Beer. Chocolate is great, original is very good, raspberry ok but I won’t get it again, vanilla (on the basis of just one serving so far) seemed pretty yucky, will take an effort of will to finish the tub.
I liked the Original Surge, and have been trying the Raspberry, which was really sweet when I first tried it. It’s not so bad anymore, but I can’t drink it during a workout cuz it doesn’t seem to quench my thirst at all.
The worst flavor is by far Orange Cream. I havent really tried anything to liven it up yet cuz I’m waiting for my other flavors to run out before I use it again. Perhaps some Orange Sherbet and orange juice would make it awesome, but that doesnt really contain anything healthy.
OK, now I’ve tried a lot of powders in my life and never found any I could stomach mixed with water until i started using Biotest stuff. That makes it so much easier to take it on the road.
I posted earlier that I just got the chocolate Surge but hadn’t tried it yet. I did and it’s amazing. Tastes better than a McD’s shake. I know, McD’s may not be the best example to use but you know what I mean. I’m placing another order this weekend.
Raspberry and chocolate all the way!
chocolate surge ftw.

Going to place my first order soon and curious as to what the best flavors are. 
Surge & Metabolic Drive in particular, thanks![/quote]
Surge: Raspberry, although I do like the original flavor also
Metabolic Drive: Strawberry, i can stand the chocolate also.
I find the banana or orange cream (or whatever the hell that is) tastes like vomit, but that’s just me.

+1
The first time I tried Raspberry it was way too sweet for me. It has grown on me now though and it is now my favorite.
They’re all good, it really depends on what tastes you tend to gravitate towards… did you like vanilla or chocolate ice cream as a kid… Do you like bananas. vanilla milk shakes or strawberry…?
I like strawberry met. drive… but I also like choc, vanilla, and banana… its really dependent on your preference…
Id say strawberry is more fruity than banana but both are “Creme flavors” as opposed to a juice type flavor. Chocolate is milk chocolate as described…not dark chocolate. And the vanilla is a sweet white vanilla…not really a light brown french vanilla.
Hope that helps you make a decision
Low-carb Metabolic Drive, I’ve only tried Chocolate (I hate artificial vanilla flavours) but it’s fine. Definitely passable. The Chocolate Metabolic Drive Complete, however–I don’t know which type of carbs make the flavour so bad I nearly need to choke it down, but I dread the times where I want those carbs to the point that I cut it with other protein powders.
And I won’t be buying Complete again. Yeah, “suck it up”, I know, but if you’re looking for flavour, just ensure you have some other way of getting your carbs and skip on Complete. You should be consuming as much whole food as you can anyway, so…
As far as Surge goes–you can’t go wrong with any of them, unless you can’t stand very sweet stuff (in which case, skip Raspberry). Every Surge flavour i’ve tried (Original, Chocolate, Raspberry) has been very good, but I like do like Raspberry the best.
One thing as mentioned by others–it’s very sweet, for sure. It reminds me of the “Swedish Berries” candy I used to eat as a kid. Awesome.
PS. The one thing I always wondered about was the fat content in Choclate Surge. Given that you’re using it pre/peri/post workout and you want quick absorbtion, shouldn’t any fat be avoided at all costs?
Surge: I’ve tried Original, Raspberry, Chocolate & Root Beer. My favorite is Raspberry, followed by Chocolate. I’ll never buy the Root Beer again.
Metabolic Drive: I’ve tried all the flavors and keep tubs of Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry & Banana in my cupboard. I like mixing the flavors, my favorite being Chocolate-Banana. If I had to pick a favorite flavor, I’d go with Chocolate.
original Surge.
I just got the Raspberry Surge and I can’t stand the taste, hopefully it grows on me… the aftertaste is quite good though ahaha

That’s funny.
Metabolic Drive Complete is probably my all-time favorite tasting protein supplement.
Vanilla Metabolic Drive is my favorite.

Based on this post, I just had some Metabolic Drive Complete vanilla, which I hadn’t had in a while, and I have to say it’s damn good as well.
It’s not a traditional vanilla, but there’s just something about it that tastes really good.
