Monster Ultra Citron Review

Monster Ultra Citron Review

 

Overall: 8.5/10

To me, this one of the best monsters out there as its so refreshing and easy to drink, it's not too sweet and yet is strong enough to get the full, aggressive taste of the lemons. It tastes great, looks great, and is zero sugar. So if you want a break from the really sweet monsters, this is the drink for you!

 

Looks: 8/10

Like every other drink in the monster ultra range, this has an engraved can, which I still think is great, and a silver pattern around the monster logo. This also looks great, with this pattern being of skeletons and plants. The vibrant can stands out and just looks refreshing. The drink itself is cloudy like cloudy lemonade, which I don't mind at all. And, of course, it has a paragraph from monster on the side of the can which will be at the bottom of this post.

 

Flavour: 8.5/10

For me this is one of my favourite monsters ever. It's taste is so light and refreshing, yet also sharp and powerful. I'd say this is the monster you can drink the easiest as its just so refreshing and not so sweet. It pretty much tastes just of lemon, but with a slightly more aggressive and stronger flavour compared to lemonade for example. It can be life saver on hot days and although its flavour isn't the strongest compared to other monsters, it is one of the nicest. I love it as it's not too strong ,you can drink it easily and it's so refreshing.

 

Price: 5/10

The same as any other monster, this normally costs about £1.19. However, in some stores the price is going up a bit (around 30p or so) as it's rapidly disappearing in the UK, so your lucky if you find one. In general though its no more expensive than any other monster in theory.

 

Healthiness: 3.5/10

Like all others in the monster ultra range, this has zero sugar and zero calories which makes it a little better than other monsters but there are still high levels of caffeine and vitamin B. If you're looking for a zero sugar energy drink, this is a great one, but on the whole this still isn't good for you.

Message on the side:

"Monster Citron is not named after a funky looking French car or a Scandinavian vodka. The citron fruit is an ancient relative of modern lemons, but with a more primitive, aggressive nature perfect for Monster. So in homage to all ancestors both botanical and human, Ultra Citron, a new take on a classic drink. Ultra Citron’s a little sweet, a little tart, light, crisp and totally refreshing. All this with zero calories, zero sugar and a full load of our Monster energy blend."
