Monster Energy: Assault

Will:
One of the first flavors of Monster Energy I tried was the red Assault flavor. I got it at a gas station, at the beginning of a 6 hour car ride. Bad idea. I definitely should not have drunk an energy drink before having to sit still for 6 hours. It was worth it though. I got to try a new flavor of my favorite energy drink.

The flavor of the Assault is somewhat cherry. of course, it has the traditional "taste of Monster" hint in the background, but its overwhelming flavor is cherry. To me, it tasted like someone took cherry cough syrup, mixed it with monster and soda, and made it taste GOOD. It had the taste of a cherry soda, with the aftertaste of cherry cough syrup. As unsavory this sounds, it was actually pretty good.

As always, the Assault can was a hit. It comes in two varieties. The first one was a cammo design, but in shades of black, white, and gray. The second and newer design is the same basis, but with digital cammo instead or regular. i'm not sure if they still sell the regular cammo ones, because all i've seen in the store recently was the digi-cammo.

The energy provided by Assault seemed tremendous the first time i drunk it. This might be because of the fact that it was one of my first energy drinks, and i wasn't used to such energy. Or maybe it was because i was stuck in a car for 6 hours. Whichever it was, it has a decent level of energy, as expected from Monster.
