When I first learned about Monster Energy\u2019s Viking Berry Energy Juice, I thought \u201cViking berry\u201d was a weird name for a fruit. But after commanding Siri to do some light research for me, like an unpaid intern, I learned that the fruit has an even more unusual but totally unmarketable name for a food product \u2014 chokeberries.<\/p>\n
According to Wikipedia, \u201cThe name \u2018chokeberry\u2019 comes from the astringency of the fruits, which create the sensation of making one\u2019s mouth pucker.\u201d Sadly, that is a disappointing and boring explanation of its name, which creates the sensation of making one\u2019s mouth yawn. <\/p>\n
Why couldn\u2019t the reason for its name be something dark, chilling, and worthy of a Netflix documentary? For example, the fruit was responsible for the deaths of many sailors at sea when it was used as ammunition by Viking slingshot snipers who targeted the mouths of their enemies.<\/p>\n
But after all that reading and Siri-ing, I\u2019m confused about whether or not this contains Viking berries. The ingredients list mentions a trio of B-berry juices – black currant, blackberry, and bilberry – but no chokeberries. Not even the can\u2019s copy says anything definite. Instead, the following is printed: \u201cInspired by Wild Nordic berries and Scandinavian fruit, Viking Berry blends real fruit juices and exotic flavors for a whole new taste experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhole new taste experience,\u201d eh?<\/p>\n
Well, a distinct pattern of neurons in my brain started firing when I took a sip of this. But I can\u2019t quite figure out why it tastes so familiar. While it\u2019s not a whole new taste experience to me, it is in the Monster Juice line because almost all the new flavors over the past decade have been tropical flavored.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The red-ish purple Viking Berry Energy Juice has a mixed berry aroma and taste that leans towards blueberry and maybe red raspberry. Much like chokeberries, I\u2019ve never had bilberries, so I wouldn\u2019t know one even if it was shot down my throat by a slingshot sniper. It starts off a bit tart but has a sweeter finish. However, it\u2019s not sour enough to create the sensation of making one\u2019s mouth pucker. It is tasty enough that I see this being a repeat purchase. Although, I can’t say I enjoy it more than some of the tropical Monster Energy Juice varieties.<\/p>\n
Something else that came to mind while drinking this is that it has a Monster Ultra vibe to it. I might be the only one who thinks this, but even though there\u2019s sugar in this (and some sucralose), I could confuse its flavor for a zero sugar Monster Ultra.<\/p>\n
Monster Viking Berry Energy Juice may not contain actual chokeberries, but it has 160 milligrams of sweet, sweet caffeine and a berry delicious taste.<\/p>\n
