The Monster branding, unchanged outside slight modernizations here and there depending on the release, has finally found an excuse for rusty bronze coloring- ginger! It gives a somewhat elegance to the design, though I'm not terribly sure what mules have to do with the spicy root.
The flavor is fearless, a relentlessly spicy explosion of slightly undersweetened ginger, it is a classic example of ginger beer. Every sip is a weighted visual of real carbohydrates at play, the likes of fructose and regular sugar, augmented by some sucralose, do enough to prevent imbibed from resembling a mouthful of candied ginger, though my palate would not have minded. There are passing mentions of lime although buried beneath not just the zesty heat but also the muted sugariness; really the citrus exists to allow Monster's writing team to talk about something else on the back of the can. Overall, the experience will satisfy only fans of rhizome in its effervescent form, but fans will have plenty to enjoy.
The kick is easily the weakest link here, lasting your usual two and a half hours from 160 milligrams of caffeine. Other ingredients include taurine, inositol and a mess of B vitamins. In the end, Monster Mule gets a very high thumbs up.
mule because mule drinks. e.g. moscow mule with ginger ale and vodka
