I finally found it!! and it's sooooooo good! I'm not even being my usual sarcastic self. I really really like it. It's very clean, and refreshing.

I was able to track this drink down at a Speedway gas station in Kentucky. So I took the customary "can + tree" photo, which you can see below

As I mentioned in my write-up on the drink, it tasted pretty good. No argument with that. But like others have noted, I have to ask "what's the point" of this drink? The caffeine levels aren't very high, it's got a premium pricepoint, and why would Red Bull really be wanting to get into the shrinking CSD world?

However, as a cola on its own merits, it's pretty tasty

As a cola fanatic, I was disappointed to find this stuff just isn't that good.

I was hoping that they'd go for their own take on the very vague "cola" flavor, but despite the impressive ingredients list, this really just tastes like a slightly-modded Coke with a bitter aftertaste.

If anyone wants a truly interesting cola with natural ingredient, go buy Boylan's Sugar Cane Cola(http://www.bevnet.com/reviews/boylans/).

I tried it this morning myself - I didn't really care for it, and at $1.50 a can I won't be buying it again.

Zabe, I thought the same thing when I read that from the Sun-Times last week. It didn't even have a localized Chicago purpose.

Tannerman, I dont think you get enough credit for your bottle+tree pics, so just let me say that, I for one, enjoy them.

I can't believe bevNet voted RB Cola as the carbonated drink of the year.
Look through these entries and the majority say they do not like the taste, don't understand the concept, or recognize the value it brings to RB. Of course some say they like it but more say the don't. I don't get it.....or do I??????/
