Ultra Blue is another one of Monster's zero calorie, sugar free energy drinks. As opposed to Absolute Zero, which is Monster's best possible attempt at recreating Monster's original flavor in a zero calorie, sugar free form, Ultra Blue is its own unique flavor. "Ultra Blue" isn't a very descriptive name, but the drink is obviously supposed to still be appealing despite being sugar free and having zero calories.

Can/Design:

The shade of blue used for this drink's can is reminiscent of blueberry yogurt or something of a similar shade of blue. The can is busy, with a "gritty" can texture and overall feel that is more "light" than some of Monster's other drinks.

The back of Ultra Blue's can contains Monster's usual amount of information about the particular drink, like the usual text that describes the inspiration behind the flavor. In my opinion, the can is visually appealing, but not as visually appealing as Monster's drinks with primarily black or dark color schemes.

Taste:

Sugar does play a part in how good some energy drinks taste, but some sugar free drinks can still maintain an "energy drink taste" despite their lack of sugar. This drink does well, and has a fruity, berry taste that is definitely drinkable. Again, I didn't like the flavor as much as Ultra Red, but still really liked this despite its lack of sugar. It does have a slightly "artificial" taste, but tastes pretty good and was better than I expected.

If you're looking for something that's sugar free but still tastes good and like mild, fruity energy drinks, this drink should be great.

Energy:

Each 16 oz. can of Ultra Blue contains 140 mg. of caffeine, as well as undisclosed amounts of taurine, panax ginseng extract, l-carnitine, guarana extract, l-carnitine, and inositol.

Ultra Blue works well in terms of energy. It contains less caffeine than a "regular" Monster, but still has enough to make for a pretty substantial lift in energy. For as well as this drink's flavor delivers, its energy delivers just as well.

Expect to pay a little under $3 for this. If you're looking for a satisfying, non-boring, sugar free energy drink, definitely give this a try. Even if you don't care about sugar or calories, it's still worth trying.
