Great review!I was gracious enough to have USP Labs send me one of the first tubs of their new Berry Burst BCAA flavor, in exchange for an honest review on their product.
Flavor:
Berry Burst – the Berry Burst flavor is a mixture of berries that tastes like a mix of berries (obviously), with a focus on strawberry and blueberry flavor. It may have just been my taste buds, but I got a hint of almost an almost bubblegum aftertaste, but was not bad in any manner, just unexpected. If you’re a fan of fruit flavored drinks, this will not disappoint. There is not much sweetness, possibly due to the lack of artificial color in, but there is sweetness in each sip.
Mixability:
I had no problems mixing this into 20-32oz of water. This has no artificial colors, so it’s crazy to see a BCAA product with no crazy color to it, and it looks almost identical to water when mixed in a bottle. This settles far easier than a lot of other BCAA products due to the lack of unnecessary additives.
Formula:
Some of the main USP Labs highlights on their label:
15 grams of amino acids per serving
8:1:1 Leucine/Isoleucine/Valine BCAA ratio
30 servings in each bottle
Electrolyte Blend
13 flavors to choose from
No artificial colors
Cost:
Typically, from their website you can get their Modern BCAA+ for $29.99 per tub.
The Berry Burst flavor Releases on December 12th, 2017
The promotion that they have for the release is unknown at the moment, but in my experience, USP Labs is very generous with their samples, T-shirts, shakers.

thank you sir for the time!Ok, so I have already posted a very brief IG review, but will post this more in-depth text review on here. I am finishing up a paper currently for one of my classes, and then I hope to get the full YT review uploaded before I leave for work. I will likely link that up in here when it is fully uploaded.
First and foremost, the product:

Modern BCAA+ is not a new product. I think most serious trainees have used it at some point or another during their training life. It has always been well-flavored, mixed well, and has given everything someone would be looking for in a intra-workout BCAA. What are those things?
15g of aminos per 2 scoop serving
8:1:1 ratio of Leucine:Isoleucine:Valine
Sustamine (more stable version of Glutamine)
Electrolyte blend
0 artificial colors and sugar (and one flavor with 0 artificial sweeteners)
So, I think you can easily see why people use Modern over other available BCAA products.
Now, for this new flavor specifically.
Berry Burst
-Flavor/Taste-
The new berry burst flavor is very well done IMO. It is not sickeningly sweet like many intra-workout supplements are. I have mixed it now with 12oz per scoop, and my preferred mix of 16oz per scoop. USP recommends 10oz, but that is too strong of a flavor for me during my workout. I try to drink a significant amount of water while training, and anything much sweeter than plain water is difficult for me to continue drinking. In this respect, they did a fantastic job. The flavor is balanced well (hard to isolate specific berries for my untrained palate), and is light enough to continue drinking throughout a tough training session. I don't generally use anything besides plain water during my sessions, but I would have no problem recommending this to people who use intra drinks, and could see myself using this flavor regularly during my tough ME sessions.
Mixability-
Modern BCAA mixes very, very easily. I generally have been using just a cup and a spoon (chopstick, actually) because 1.) I don't have clear shaker bottles to see how things mix and 2.) I don't need a lid on my drinks because my gym is at my house. I have also used the handheld mixer that my wife has lying around (typically used for protein in my house), and it mixes instantly. There is some foam that builds at the top (from the leucine, and is typical of my experience with BCAAs), but it dissipates nearly immediately (in only a couple of minutes). Very little residue at the bottom of the glass, and 0 floaties that I noticed on any occasion thus far.
Formula-
See above. Gives everything that would be desired for a BCAA drink IMO.
Dosage-
15g per serving (7.5g per scoop) is a solid dosage and the 8:1:1 ratio gives you more of the leucine than any other BCAA product that immediately comes to mind for me.
Cost-
Hard to say. This product is not going to be released until tomorrow (Dec. 12), and I suspect USP will be doing a huge IC/Barbell club sale for it then. Modern BCAA+ sells for 29.99 for 30 servings from usplabsdirect as a regular price, so right at $1/per serving, which is not bad. This is a better price per amino than most of the direct competitors and the flavoring is much better IME. All told, the product comes with 60 full scoops for that ~$30 price (when not on sale), and I think that is pretty hard to beat.
Final thoughts-
I am very pleased with this product on the whole. I have used modern BCAA+ in the past (usually watermelon flavored), and I have never had any complaints to make. This flavor is very well done, and would easily be the favorite for me. I have not tried all of the flavors of Modern BCAA+, so I can't speak to all of them, but it is definitely the best one that I have tried to date. As always with this product, it mixes well, does exactly what you would expect, and tastes great. I would not hesitate to recommend this new flavor to anyone.
I may have been unclear, I was referring to 10oz per scoop since I had been mixing it lighter at about 14-16oz per scoop.thank you sir for the time!
Quick correction: we recommend 20 ounces on the label.
