Let\u2019s start with the can. Both mainly feature a light blue color, but the older one had a dark blue bull, while this can has a silver one. Inside both are beverages that look like what would happen if Gargamel finally got his hands on some Smurfs and made soup stock.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/rbweicedvanber2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-65079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/rbweicedvanber2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/rbweicedvanber2.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/rbweicedvanber2.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/rbweicedvanber2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But the similarities don\u2019t stop with looks. After tasting this new Winter Edition and rereading my Arctic Berry review, I can\u2019t help but think Iced Vanilla Berry might just be a slight tweak of the older one.<\/p>\n<p>First off, this has a wonderful cotton candy aroma, which I also experienced with Arctic Berry, and it made me believe I was about to treat my taste buds to a great-tasting energy drink. However, that smell didn\u2019t translate into the beverage\u2019s flavor. Instead, I got a tart blueberry taste that reminded me of the initial sips I took of Arctic Berry. If you didn\u2019t read the review of the older Winter Edition, it\u2019s supposed to be blue raspberry, which I eventually did taste, but at first, I thought I was drinking a blueberry-flavored beverage.<\/p>\n<p>As for the vanilla, it\u2019s not entirely noticeable. It\u2019s like the vanilla you\u2019d taste with Vanilla Coke, but not as strong, which is disappointing. If it had a more intense flavor, I think this would\u2019ve been better than it was. Also, the berry and vanilla don\u2019t stick around throughout every sip. When they fade, they\u2019re replaced by that sour, medicinal finish that reminds me of regular Red Bull. <\/p>\n<p>Red Bull Winter Edition Iced Vanilla Berry could\u2019ve been a great flavor if it tasted as delicious as it smelled, but it\u2019s a bit mid. It\u2019s slightly better than Arctic Berry but less enjoyable than the most recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2023\/10\/12\/red-bull-winter-edition-pear-cinnamon-review\/\">Winter<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2022\/10\/12\/red-bull-fig-apple-energy-drink-review\/\">Editions<\/a>. But there\u2019s one thing I can say about this newest version that I can\u2019t say about any previous ones, and that\u2019s if you\u2019re a sleepy koala who\u2019s looking for a sugar-free version of Iced Vanilla Berry, Red Bull has got you covered like a marsupial\u2019s pouch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> More than one should pay on eBay<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 12 fl oz can<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 160 calories, 0 grams of fat, 125 milligrams of sodium, 40 grams of carbohydrates, 38 grams of sugar (including 38 grams of added sugar), 0 grams of protein, and 114 milligrams of caffeine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Red Bull says its new Winter Edition Iced Vanilla Berry combines the taste of blueberry, vanilla, and \u201cicy-fresh\u201d notes of eucalyptus.
