RATING: 6.8 OUT OF 10.
Is Monster Energy ever satisfied with how many drinks it has? There are currently 13 Monster Energy drinks, 7 Java Monsters, 3 Muscle Monsters, 3 Extra Strengths, 6 Monster Rehabs, and 2 Monster Dub Editions. In total, that's 34 different varieties of Monster Energy. Today I'll be reviewing the 22nd Monster drink on this website: Monster Ultra Blue.
This is the sister drink to Monster Zero Ultra, which is a smooth and light flavored energy drink. Ultra Blue has that same textured can, except this one is obviously blue. Sure enough, the liquid inside is also blue, and after taking a sip, I noticed that the flavor was smooth, sweet, and delectable. It reminded me of blue cotton candy in a way, but nevertheless it was pretty tasty. I've always found Monster drinks to be pretty tasty beverages.
Another area that Monster consistently performs well at is the energy blend. This one has 200 percent daily value of vitamin b3, 200 percent daily value of vitamin b6, 200 percent daily value of vitamin b12, 200 percent daily value of vitamin b5, and a Monster Energy Blend of taurine, panax ginseng extract, l-carnitine, caffeine, glucuronolactone, guarana extract, and inositol. The energy blend should be around 5,000 milligrams, but it is not indicated on the can. The caffeine content is 140 milligrams.
That amount of caffeine should give an adequate uplift to the average consumer, and it certainly gave me a very slight boost. It's really nothing to run home about, but then again, this drink isn't made to knock your socks off.
With 34 flavors, there truly is something for everybody at Monster Energy. Monster Ultra Blue is just another solid drink from them. It's very sweet and smooth on the palate, and the energy blend is pretty decent. The effect is a bit lackluster, but you can expect that with a lower caffeine content. Overall, I'd definitely buy this one again.
