In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of AMP ENERGY POWER CITRUS / AGRUMES

The unique yellow-green color of AMP's original formula and the citrusy lime juice aroma match perfectly, making you eager to take a sip!

When you drink it, you get a sweet and sour Mountain Dew-like citrus lime flavor. The acidity is just right, complemented by a sweet taste and refreshing aroma, with a lingering aftertaste—it's the classic citrus flavor we all know and love.

The sweet and sour taste of lime and sugar stays in your mouth, so personally, I prefer adding ice to enhance the chill and refreshment. When I drink AMP Original in general, I often have it with ice, even when I'm not reviewing it.

Energy Ingredients of AMP ENERGY POWER CITRUS / AGRUMES

AMP ENERGY POWER CITRUS / AGRUMES
Contains 142mg of caffeine, 3mg of taurine, 3mg of guarana, and 3mg of ginseng. The Canadian AMP series is characterized by very low taurine content. 3mg of guarana is also quite low.

Design of AMP ENERGY POWER CITRUS / AGRUMES

The wavy design is a hallmark of the AMP series. It's simple but very much in line with the AMP style, and this design was used both in the U.S. and Canada.

In the U.S., the design was updated to feature fruit illustrations, but in Canada, the wavy design continued without any changes. Maybe it wasn't popular enough to warrant a redesign?

In Canada, it’s usually just quietly placed on the shelves. AMP is somewhat of a minor player due to the popularity of Monster, Rockstar, and Red Bull, but the flavor is solid and I hope it can somehow survive in Canada.
