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 Sour Citrus Fruit Flavor with a Bitter Aroma

The color of the contents is yellow, typical of classic fruit flavors, but it has the distinct bitterness and refreshing aroma of citrus fruits. Let’s give it a try.

Upon tasting, it has a sweet and sour citrus mix candy flavor that lingers in the mouth. There is no fruitiness, and the taste is characterized by the typical sweet and sour intense flavor often found in candy.

It tastes almost identical to the PAC-MAN BONUS FRUIT ENERGY DRINK, also released by Boston America.

Given that GEARS OF WAR IMULSION was released 12 years ago, the sweetness may have intensified due to some degradation, but it seems safe to assume that the contents are the same.

Boston America has released many collaboration products, but they don’t always create unique flavors for each. Instead, the contents are often filled randomly. As a result, the taste may differ, even if the outer packaging is the same.

Conversely, you might purchase a different product with a different outer design, but the contents could be the same.

When reading reviews of Boston America products, if opinions are vastly different, it is highly likely that the contents differ, and each review is not necessarily wrong. Many people don’t pour the drink into a glass before reviewing, which can make things confusing.

Ideally, the flavors would be unique to each product, but it may be that the value lies more in the fact that they are officially licensed merchandise.

Collaboration cans designed by major brands tend to have a bold, cool impression, but Boston America focuses on character merchandise and tends to produce simpler designs. Therefore, the product design may come across as somewhat unrefined.
