This is the 2024 entry in Red Bull's seasonal Winter lineup. It comes in a pale blue can. Here's an upsetting fact: no Winter Edition has ever been made a permanent flavor, though some Summer Editions have. Until I saw signage pointing to a 2-for-$5 deal at my local Speedway I didn't realize Red Bull did seasonal editions like Winter, Summer and sometimes Spring.

The taste of Iced Vanilla Berry starts with the strong flavor of blueberry; the finish is extremely tart. It's amazing they can pack such a dynamic flavor in a form factor I've seen so many other manufacturers use to make mostly uninspiring energy drinks. If there is a note of vanilla hiding here it is overwhelmed by the tartness of the drink. The harsh, distinct carbonation of Red Bull's drinks complements this flavor very well. It is an extremely well-composed drink; it is my favorite Red Bull I have tasted so far, second only to the OG Red Bull. They have a zero-sugar variant too, supposedly, which is rare for a limited edition.

Strong recommend.

Like other Winter Editions this inventory will likely stop being stocked in the Spring as the only seasonal flavors that have become permanent have been Summer flavors, which shed their seasonal name and adopt a color once they are canonicalized in Red Bull lore. Sometimes old color editions are replaced with the new canon.

Winter Edition is only available from Fall 2024 to Spring 2025 as it is seasonal: its inventory melts in April to be replaced by the their Summer Edition.
