With a handsome gold can, you would be forgiven to think that this latest Monster Ultra is ginger inspired. Unless you fancy yourself an energy drink junkie, in which you would be aware of the brand's earlier exploits of the rhizome with their Mule version. No today's drink is pineapple based, if the rear paragraph of the design is to be believed, but hey, what does it matter when the standard company logo shines so brightly thanks to its precious metal palate?
I am a pushover for pineapple, a fact that benefits an otherwise ordinary experience. The tropical fruit is distilled to its most basic form, where sweetness and sourness are obligatory and all other nuance is superfluous. Every sip is a ruthless prostitution in unadulterated summarization, one without any interest in nuance or fundamental depth, oh no, what we have here is practically pineapple juice boiled down and then shot with a burst of effervescence. The real winner here is the lack of functional flavor, you know, the nasty aftertaste caused from all the supplements company's shove inside the can. Erythritol, sucralose, and ace-k are act in charge of the sugaring, but this obvious absence of actual carbohydrate really distracts on the tongue. A few grams of sugar, anything, would really push this over the top and into the realm of some of the better beverages on the energy drink shelf.
150 milligrams of caffeine makes for a most average kick. You will likely get only two to two and a half hour buzz. Other ingredients include B vitamins, taurine, inositol, and l-carnitine. On the whole, Monster Ultra Gold is good, but not worth its weight in, well you know, gold.
