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.

Subtle Sweetness with a Light Cola Gummy Flavor

The bang series has always maintained a clear, colorless standard for their flavors, but as you can see, the Miami Cola is a true cola color.

When you take a sip, it has a subtle sweetness with a "cola-like" taste. The aroma has hints of cola gummy, but the sweetness and acidity feel a bit vague, creating a lingering sense of "it's cola-flavored, but something feels off."

Being a zero-calorie, zero-sugar drink, it has a refreshing mouthfeel, and the overall taste is soft and gentle. The aftertaste is minimal, so it's definitely easy to drink.

It’s a bit harsh to expect the usual cola sharpness or punch from a zero-calorie product... so while it’s not a bad experience, I felt it lacked a bit of satisfaction. The flavor felt a bit too one-dimensional, and it became a bit hard to continue sipping on that cola gummy-like taste for too long. (^_^;)

Energy Ingredients of bang MIAMI COLA

Contains 300mg of caffeine, EAA, creatine, and CoQ10. While the previous bang series included BCAA, it seems they've switched to EAA. EAA is currently gaining attention in the fitness world for its essential amino acids. The exact amount isn’t listed, but it's a nice update for a fitness-centric brand.

The emerald green, red cola hue, and white main color evoke the refreshing feel of Miami's ocean. By the way, bang is an energy drink brand that originated in Florida. The name "Miami Cola" was chosen to represent the brand’s roots in Miami.

The colorful can design is stylish, and the back side also has a trendy color scheme. Bang, which used to have a dark and bold aesthetic, is gradually introducing more colorful products, like this Miami Cola, as part of its evolving look.

Bang, which once stuck to colorless contents and black-based cans, seems to be breaking free from its previous design and is sure to continue bringing fresh and exciting products in the future.
