At the recommendation of The Cruncheons, I picked up a can of this stuff. Here's what it looks like as it should be in every convenience store out there:

Don't be fooled by the MMA/Ed Hardy look and design, this shit is the real deal. This stuff is awesome and I've pretty much had a can a day since. This is calorie free but is pretty much the only calorie free drink that doesn't taste like shit. Furthermore, it seems to be great whenever you drink it. I've had part of a can, left it for the next day, and it still tastes great! Also it seems to give me a shitload of energy, which I've never actually received from anything like Red Bull.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #1 on:** August 23, 2013, 05:17:53 PM »

It is awesomeness in a can. I picked it up on Van Cruncheon/Frag's recommendation and haven't looked back once. When my local grocery store has it 2 for $3, I usually buy like six of the fuckers.

nudemacusers · « **Reply #2 on:** August 23, 2013, 05:19:46 PM »

This stuff is disgusting, I have no idea how you all stomach it. Tastes absolutely terrible. Which is why I soak tampons in the vat of the stuff and stick them in my anal cavity before I head out the door in the morning.

What a coincidence, I just tried this stuff for the first time on my most recent road trip (long drives are pretty much the only time I have energy drinks, in addition to the odd loooong work shift). I agree with my esteemed colleagues TXP, Triumph, and Business that, for an energy drink, this is le shit.

nudemacusers · « **Reply #5 on:** August 23, 2013, 05:58:58 PM »

goddamn all these positive posts. so uh if I don't drink caffeine at all will this make me stay up all night and wear tapout shirts?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #6 on:** August 23, 2013, 05:58:58 PM »

Yeah, I semi-regularly make the 4+ hour drive from my shitty mountain town into Atlanta to hang with friends, and I usually find myself getting tired halfway through, even with 5 hour energy in the past.

THIS SHIT, THOUGH. Nuh uh. Keeps me going.

I have some sitting in my fridge right now.

It's like drinking liquid ice with a splash of citrus flavor.

No, it's just some Steel Reserve variation. Straight good ol' malt liquor. I was dying watching the kid chug it before running as hard as he could down the street.

This is the real shit:

15%, one bottle contains as much caffeine as eight cans of cola and mentioned in almost 6000 crime reports in the space of three years in Strathclyde alone.

I've heard of Camo but never see it around Seattle. Mostly I see cans of Steel Reserve and Hurricane. I spot a Earthquake every once in a while.

You should follow SeattleBeerFinds on Untappd.

nudemacusers · « **Reply #21 on:** August 23, 2013, 08:17:29 PM »

It's pretty easy to get in Central/Eastern Washington, which should tell you all you need to know about Camo High Gravity Lager.

I'll look into this untappd business.

That's so funny. There was a thread on the PNW Forum over at Beer Advocate about a guy looking for Camo anything. He wanted it for a buddy's bachelor party.

Hehe. I lived in Ellensburg while I was going to graduate school at Central. I rente an aprtment in a house across from the Albertsons. Also, The D&M on Main Street feom my time (2003-2005) is now Iron Horses' taproom.

I bought this at 7-11 recently because of the Cruncheons (along with some Shaq soda). Neither really did it for me $:-\$ (monster was the better of the two though)

I tried one off the recommendation of the esteemed Cruncheon podcast. It didn't taste bad like a lot of those drinks. I didn't really feel amped but I got that nervousness coming down that I hate.

Fragamemnon · « **Reply #38 on:** August 28, 2013, 02:14:54 PM »

this monster tastes great and has a really even edge to it. I am animated enough as is to not need a huge energy spike and this drink really does do a number for a hard days work after a hard night of Civ/Hearthstone.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #39 on:** August 28, 2013, 02:24:36 PM »

After seeing some convenience store locations sold out of this stuff as well as the exorbitant price of the stuff if it isn't in a 2 for $3 deal, I got this for $70:

Comes out to $1.46/can.

I'll grab a Red Bull of some kind or a Mountain Dew Kickstart since the 'starts are $1 at one o' my jarbs but I guess I'll give these Monsters a shot since we have them too and you all seem to fucking love them for some reason.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #43 on:** August 28, 2013, 06:10:13 PM »

Tried one of these the other day.

They're...better than those no-sugar Red Bulls I suppose but it still tasted like Splenda to me. Got half way through it and decided not to finish it.

would not buy again/10

What does it the ruby taste like? Where did you find it?

I had to give up on the energy drinks due to caffeine. But the misses is addicted to these drinks. I love the Ultra blue's taste, but the rockstar zero's are even better in taste.

Atramental · « **Reply #49 on:** October 06, 2013, 02:14:57 AM »

It has sort of a Hawaiian punch flavor to it.

And I found it at the gas station that is close to where l currently live. It was the last one on the shelf .

I scored big yesterday, brochachos. A grocery store nearby is selling 4 packs of Ultra Zero for $5, or $1.25 a can. I got a few packs and grabbed a few cans of Ultra Red.

Groogrux · « **Reply #53 on:** October 13, 2013, 09:04:07 AM »

Is this stuff really that hard to find out there? Where I'm at, it's in nearly every gas station and convenience store. Grocery stores here all carry those 4 packs too.

It is the nectar of the gods though.

It isn't hard to find but it is senseless to pay the convenience store markup if you can get bulk quantities online or elsewhere.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #55 on:** October 13, 2013, 07:29:00 PM »

Yeah I finally tried one of these today and it's pretty damn good. Kinda Sprite-ish. Strange for an energy beverage to not be kinda bad and cough syrupy tasting. Gonna be having these on the regular now.

Ive got a few cases of ultra, black, and the orange ultra. The black i cant find anywhere and its so good. But the regular ultra is like crack. I used to drink two cans a day, but now i drink it less often. Costco has the red whites and blu ultras on sale for $23 a case from now till july.
