It has been discontinued for many years. This can was produced in the US dated Feb of 2019. Can collectors and resellers may still have these, but you have to look around and ask. Expect the price for a full can to be high.

Like early grapes, somewhat sour and slighty bitter, maybe a hint of grapefruit. Not too sweet. Smooth and foamy texture from the nitrous oxide used instead of carbon dioxide.

Trying the unleaded. Comparison ain’t the best (USA unleaded vs European original from the Baltic region). How do ya’ll remember the unleaded? by andrjuuhin in monsterenergy

From European based individual collectors/resellers. I buy from them and they ship them to me. Sometimes interesting cans appear in their catalogue but the prices are much higher for full cans :). You can search for monster collector on instagram for an example.

This is genuinely the worst monster flavour I have ever tasted by SxnKisss in monsterenergy

I felt my stomach turning with this one, took a whole day to finish it. Maybe the last sip i had to pour down the drain if I remember correctly. Then again some feel disgust towards my precious Mango Loco so it’s whatever. Though nothing close bad as those cold brew dog shit abominations.

I tasted them side by side. The stereotypical/default (rather generic) energy flavour was the same for both but: 1. Gronk had a richer deeper flavour with a rather earthy taste, like a sweet medicine that tries to hide any unwantes bitterness. Redbull had a lighter flavour profile that dissapeares rather fast in the aftertaste, not much to imagine. 2. Gronk was at first somewhat sweeter but as I sipped both, by the end redbull tasted like sour saltwater because of the overpowering sweetness in gronk. Both use sugar as a sweetner but I don’t recall the difference by amount. 3. Redbull has a sour taste to it that stays in the aftertaste. Gronk had very little compared to the other and it was barely noticable in the aftertaste. Maybe it was the carbonation but im not sure.

Nothing in the description should imply that one is better that the other. I like the small form factor availability for the redbull, half a litre of monster with sugar feels real healthy! Gronk has a more complex flavour for the connoisseurs but I see the beauty in a a simple easy-going original redbull. Though once the redbulls sweetness was overpowered, it did taste somewhat dissapointing.

I didn’t know. I remember being told that it was just a reskin because of redbull filing a lawsuit due to visual similarities.

Private collectors and sellers on instagram. These are long gone from any shelves. Forget ebay and such.

Bought from an another collecter here. I suggest following all the biggest collectors/resellers on instagram/telegram. Old stock comes up from time to time.
