What an idea Red Bull has here to repurpose their 2022 "Summer Edition," remove the sugar and bam, you have a brand-spanking new release. The can is largely identical, save for some incongruous blue blotches denoting its diet nature, and you have to wonder why there is so much text! Appearing in different fonts, sizes, colors and importance, this is just hard for your eyes to make sense of.
The flavor is a disaster, launching with this ugly acidity that is sour in the way spoiled dairy is, not the way freshly-plucked produce is. Your tongue winces in disgust the second it pours out from the twelve ounce can, looking to the sugar-free sugars for backup perhaps? No no no, sorry, the sucralose and ace-k here has zero compunction about their laziness, sweetening the experience only in the sense that this does not taste like a bunch of random chemicals. As for what this actually tastes like, strawberry might be half of what you read but it is all you get, a miserable impersonation of a summer favorite that displays no sense of momentum, just tumbling out from the thin aluminum walls and dies right there on the spot. Its rotting body is what you are expected to quench your thirst on- yum yum yum.
114 milligrams of caffeine means the buzz fails to satisfy in any meaningful way- yeah I mean sure, taurine, B vitamins, etc., also appear, but remember this: millions do not consume coffee because it contains vitamins. Anyway, Red Bull The Amber Edition Strawberry Apricot Sugar Free sucks.
