Monster Dub Edition Energy Drink Review

Monster Dub Edition comes in a bulky thirty two oz. can that cost me a large $3.99, which to be perfectly honest was the price I expected to pay. And because it was the first and only time that I'd ever actually located a can, I knew that I had to pick it up regardless of price. The gold "M" glows off the black of the can, and the bottom strip of purple adds a good level of detail without becoming cluttering. Though I still feel that Monster's strongest can efforts was with Absolutely Zero, Dub Edition comes in a fairly close second.

A sweet cherry taste that has a characteristic of green grape launches the experience, and the previous grape soon grows a sturdy trait of a candied red grape. The trait addition is noticeable and is the basic distinction between the two varieties of the fruit. This gives the initial flavour a quick intricate level of depth, and soon there's even more complexion added in the sense of a gummy apple taste. The apple has a befitting tartness to it as well as a fair sourness, and the fruit's feet are tickled by a vanilla that casually borrows a sense of gumminess from it, and the tickling slowly ascends, but thankfully it stops before it reaches halfway up its body. The vanilla doesn't feel rich or delicate on the tongue, and instead is chemically fake tasting and sickly sweet to the point of almost disgust. The sweetness is applicable mostly throughout the duration of the flavour, but if you're consuming all thirty two ounces in one sitting then it's likely to become too sweet and or at least a bit tiring. The fluid kept the same decent carbonation from first to last sip, and there's no actual aftertaste worth mentioning. Overall, Monster Dub Edition's flavour was enjoyable and a unique interpretation of the exhausted grape genre, and it proves that the company can develop a singular taste without it being unpleasant.

Each can contains: caffeine(320mg), taurine, inositol, guarana, ginseng and several B vitamins, as well 112 grams of sugar, and for a kick I received a solid buzz, lasting five or so hours. I had mild jitters and once the time came I crashed hard. All in all, Monster Dub Edition acts as almost a sort of redemption drink for the line, after a year riddled with failed opportunities and disappointments.
