I have been drinking Monster energy drinks since high school, and I rarely try new ones because I always go back to the classic White Zero Ultra.
Recently, me and my suite mate have been trying some of the new flavors.
First, we tried the Swiss chocolate milk one and really liked it. And recently, we came across the Ultra Gold can on TikTok and knew we had to try it.
We went on an adventure for about half an hour, going from gas station to gas station in Alva, and we happened to find it in Shepherd’s.
Now, be warned, the ultra gold is pineapple flavor. If you don’t know that before drinking it, then it might surprise you.
I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. I even made a pineapple orange smoothie and poured a can of the ultra gold Monster in it.
I was amazed at how good it was. Definitely going to do that again.
Even though I did really like a new Monster, I don’t think it surpasses the zero ultra on my favorite list because the taste will get tiring pretty fast.
I feel the zero ultra probably never will. I mean, it has lasted almost eight years as my favorite energy drink.
I do have to tell you that the ultra gold is the prettiest Monster can.
It looks so elegant, but we are not here for looks. I wish I could tell you that one gives me more energy over the other.
But honestly, energy drinks don’t affect me like that. Though I can say that neither has made me fall asleep as other energy drinks do. Is that a problem? Probably. But I am not going to address it at the moment.
All in all, I give this new monster energy drink a 4 out of 5 stars. It’s good, but the taste is very subjective. It does win on the pretty scale, but it is pretty much just pineapple juice.
I recommend this drink to anyone who like Monsters or other energy drinks or anyone who likes pineapples or pineapple-related food.
I like that Monster is still experimenting with new flavors, and I look forward to seeing what they do in the future.
