bang SOUR HEADS CAFFEINE FREE

bang SOUR HEADS CAFFEINE FREE
Bang's caffeine-free version of Sour Heads. While Bang energy drinks are known for their high caffeine content, this product eliminates caffeine, which might seem like an odd move. However, for those who train, it’s actually a viable option as part of their energy drink choices.

I've also reviewed the regular version of Sour Heads, so please take a look at that as well!

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.

Distinct Bitterness and Air Freshener-like Flavor Double Punch

bang SOUR HEADS CAFFEINE FREE
All Bang products are colorless and transparent. Even if you're used to them, it can be a surprise when this clear liquid comes out of such a colorful can (^_^;)

Now, let's try it. The moment it touches your tongue, the sourness hits strong, just as the product name suggests. At the same time, a bitterness spreads, making you think, "I don’t want to drink more of this." On top of that, an air freshener-like flavor suddenly appears... I really wish it was just a sour flavor (ヽ´ω`)

If it were just the sourness, it would be a pleasure like an apple flavor taken to its extreme. However, the combination of unique bitterness and air freshener makes it quite unpleasant. This is bad!!

All of Bang’s caffeine-free versions have this distinctive bitterness. Not just this Sour Heads, but other flavors also have that bitterness, and I couldn’t drink them all. My recommendation is to simply buy the regular version with 300mg of caffeine instead (Σ(´∀`;)).

Energy Ingredients of bang SOUR HEADS CAFFEINE FREE

It contains creatine, BCAA, CoQ10, etc. There is no caffeine (0mg). With zero calories, zero sugar, and no caffeine, many people might wonder what’s left after removing caffeine from Bang.

If you're seriously into taking supplements for training, many pre-workout supplements contain large amounts of caffeine. So, you can enjoy your favorite Bang flavors without overlapping with that. Personally, I think it’s not a bad option, but I’m not sure if anyone would spend 200 yen to buy it (Σ(´∀`;)).

Design of bang SOUR HEADS CAFFEINE FREE

Bang’s caffeine-free series features the theme color of the regular version applied to the entire can. In the case of Sour Heads, it's a yellow-green color. It looks fresh and tasty, but as mentioned in the review, the taste is quite harsh (ヽ´ω`).

Silver top with a silver tab is another characteristic of the caffeine-free version. The regular version has a black top with an orange tab. This lighter feel in design is interesting, but since they already use color on the entire can, I think it would have been better with a colored top.

The back of the can is almost the same for both the regular and caffeine-free versions. I wonder if it really makes sense to have the under-18 symbol on the caffeine-free version, but since it looks cool, let’s just go with it (*´艸`*).
