Monster aficionados, take note: alcoholic versions have arrived.
The Coca-Cola-owned firm has released four new flavours of what they call Beast Unleashed.
Mean Green – think original Monster flavour – White Haze – imagine Monster Energy Zero Ultra – and two zesty-sounding new debuts, Peach Perfect and Scary Berries – will be among these flavours.
The Beast Unleashed tinnies contain no caffeine and have a 6% ABV.
The packaging reads: ‘Our original crew has been making drinks for 30+ years now.
‘Our favourite brand Monster is about to turn 21. We figure why not celebrate the big day by making an adult beverage.
‘We hit delete on the energy blend, cut out the caffeine, and ditched the sugar.’
But, before you get too excited, these new items have not yet hit UK shops, and there is no guarantee they will.
At the time of writing, the bevvies are only available in the US states of Ohio, California, Colorado, and Florida, but in August, CEO Rodney Sacks said: ‘Our alcohol innovation pipeline is robust, with a number of new unique product lines now under development.
‘We look forward to sharing such additional alcohol beverage products at a later date.’
Therefore, who knows, perhaps the positive feedback will push the firm to expand their distribution.
One satisfied buyer noted on the online liquor store Untappd, ‘It tastes like the original, but with an alcohol spike.’
Another commented: ‘Tastes JUST like green Monster, but a little better with the alcohol.’
