It has a smooth refreshing crispness to it. My first thought was, "Ah, that familiar black cherry taste from my childhood". But I also detect flavors of currant and black berry, and the slightest hint of bergamot. This is a gentleman's sip, so nuanced in its flavor that I honestly believe only a handful of people will ever pick up on the flavor artistry that Monster Energy™ has subtly delivered on. This drink oozes class and sophistication. It would pair exquisitely with dark chocolate or a steak, but would be equally comfortable next to fish tacos or cheez its during a road trip. Its flavor profile, so bold and well rounded, is good straight from the can, but picks up a bright crispness when delivered in a glass on the rocks - which I prefer and highly recommend.

Whether in the morning, during a commute, at work, or just a lazy Sunday on the couch while checking fantasy sports teams over broadband, the diverse and inclusive nature of this drink's flavor will perfect an already stellar scene.

I would place this sip, overall, tied with white. Just ahead of of yellow. Purple and orange would come next, followed by red, and in a distant last place blue. Even though I place it tied with white, I don't know if it's an everyday sip like white is. This is a bellicose drink, and I do not use that word lightly. It is BOLD. It demands respect and attention. It feels like an experience; drinking it feels like a special occasion.

Its color is reminiscent of Ultra Violet™, purple sips. But deeper, and a bit red. Its not as pretty as purple sips, nor is it as pretty as a Grenache or Malbec. However, the can is well designed and the back text takes the reader to cherry orchards in mid Summer. Overall the aesthetic is pleasing and delivers on that above average quality of artistry that Monster Energy's™ Ultra™ beverage line is known and trusted for. You are right to wait for a good day. You will feel very blessed.
