Another winter, another Winter Edition Red Bull- though it is only September. The packaging is that classic iconography drenched in depressing blue, suffering from the longstanding silliness that is a drink with "red" in the name not being colored red. Still, you know what you are getting yourself into; the company did not need to reinvent the wheel, and they did not.Arctic Berry must mean "blue raspberry" to Red Bull formulators, because this is full-on confectionery. It is an immature adaptation, exploring absolutely none of the depth the fruit can sometimes offer, giving you twelve ounces liquid Jolly Ranchers. There is thirty eight grams of sugar and glucose at play today, providing a toothsome grit to every swig that avoids the common syrupy pitfall. It does however clump up in the back of your throat, and as more and more of the simple carbohydrates are consumed, you quickly find your entire mouth sticky with a teeth-rotting sugariness. The tastes of cotton candy rocks the underground of each imbibe, something that acts as more of a nuance to the sweetness than to the actual flavor profile, reliving your palate partially from the unyielding saccharinity. Acidity is present and demands some attention away from all the candy, frosting the edges of your tongue with a sharp ping of sourness. It all makes for an experience that should appeal to all the sweetmeat junkies out there, but anyone looking for something that even comes close to the delicacy of last year's Winter Edition will be massively disappointed.
Red Bull might just be the most famous energy drink, but their energy blend needs to be revisited. With just 114 milligrams of caffeine, some B vitamins and taurine, your body will be wishing for the potency of its competitors. Overall, Red Bull The Winter Edition Arctic Berry is very drinkable, but it feels like they took the easy way out.
