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.

Sweet and Tangy, Subtle Blueberry Flavor

Upon opening, the scent of artificial blueberry and grape, reminiscent of blueberry gum, fills the air. The liquid is colorless and transparent, just like other products in the bang series.

The taste is sweet and tangy, with a mild sugar-water-like base and a blueberry gum scent that wraps around the artificial blueberry flavor. If you expect a strong, intense blueberry, blackberry, or grape taste, it may fall short.

As it's zero sugar, it lacks depth and remains a bit monotonous with the same flavor and aroma throughout. The artificial scent, which is not the usual chemical-type, becomes a bit overwhelming, making it harder to drink continuously, and it might get tiresome halfway through.

Personally, I recommend adding ice to fill half the cup and chilling it thoroughly. The taste becomes slightly lighter, with a refreshing tartness, making it much easier to drink. The blueberry aroma stays intact, so you can enjoy the fragrance while feeling refreshed.

Drinking BANGSTER BERRY with too much ice might actually work well in summer.

Energy Ingredients of bang BANGSTER BERRY

Contains 300mg of caffeine, CoQ10, EAA, and creatine. The BCAA from previous bang products has been replaced with EAA, making it more fitness-focused. As similar products from major brands are released, improvements are to be expected.

Design of bang BANGSTER BERRY

The new generation of bang features brighter base colors, and this BANGSTER BERRY has a white base with purple. The colors clearly indicate the blueberry and grape flavor. It seems that flavor differentiation through color alone is becoming more challenging, so we may see new design trends in the near future.
