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 burn TROPICAL

When opened, a strong citrus scent immediately fills the air. The drink itself is a tropical burn with a cloudy appearance, as if freshly squeezed fruit was added, without any transparency.

The flavor is just as the name suggests, with no standout fruit flavor. It’s a sweet and tangy citrus tropical flavor. Since it contains a high amount of fruit juice, you can really feel the fruitiness both in the aftertaste and when the drink is in your mouth. It reaches a level of deliciousness typical of high-fruit-energy drinks.

A similar tropical flavor energy drink would be the citrus-flavored Red Bull Summer Edition. However, this one is softer in acidity and has more of a fruity sensation, especially in the aftertaste, where you feel the deliciousness of drinking freshly squeezed fruit. If you were to choose between Red Bull and burn Tropical, I’d say burn Tropical tastes better.

Energy Ingredients of burn TROPICAL

It contains 80mg of caffeine and 1000mg of taurine.
Basically, all burn energy drinks have almost the same ingredients, so there’s no need to mention this every time, but I’ll include it just in case.

The fruit juice composition is 19.5% concentrated juice, with 18% orange, 1% apricot, 0.5% passion fruit, and 2% puree, including 1% guava and 1% mango. It’s actually over 21%, but the 0.5% passion fruit is almost negligible (；´∀｀).

It does seem like they bring out the sourness with citric acid and other sour agents, though I don’t feel much of an orange sourness in the taste.

Design of burn TROPICAL

The juice series designs vary slightly depending on the product, but for this tropical version, it creates a strong image of having real fruit juice inside. The vivid colors of orange and mango seem to fall apart and flow, giving a sense of freshness and dynamism. If the design of this series becomes unified, I’d definitely want to collect and display them (●´ω｀●).
