Red Bull Winter Edition Fig Apple
Sipping on this drink reminded me of a joke on 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' about "fruit-forward Rieslings." I know nothing about wine, but the fact that it reminded me of the joke should clue you in on the prominent fruit flavors in this Red Bull.

Red Bull continues to entertain with their winter and summer edition drinks. Fig Apple was not the most delicious drink I've had, though it earns some points for creativity and bold flavoring.

Taste
7.4
Fig Apple doesn't have the normal jet fuel taste of Red Bull, (and I say that lovingly.) The tart and apple flavors stand out, in addition to the sweetness. I found the sweetness to be a tad distracting. The drink was moderately enjoyable for me, though I imagine someone really interested in a fig and apple combination would enjoy it more.
Appearance
8.1
The standard Red Bull branding applies here, with an awesome dark green background that is theme appropriate.
Kick
6
Red Bull Winter Edition Fig Apple has 112mg of caffeine in its 12oz can, which is a bit more than a standard cup of coffee.
