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 C4 ENERGY MIDNIGHT CHERRY

When you open the can, a sweet and sour cherry-like aroma fills the air. Among the C4 ENERGY series, this C4 ENERGY MIDNIGHT CHERRY has a particularly strong fragrance. Let's give it a try.

When you take a sip, a slightly sweet and sour flavor, reminiscent of ume (Japanese plum), spreads across your palate.

The distinctive "lack of richness" in C4's flavor profile removes any depth or umami typical of cherry fruit or cherry juice, resulting in a flavor similar to ume gum.

Although it doesn’t taste very cherry-like, the scent typical of cherry-based drinks is strong enough that, with "MIDNIGHT CHERRY" written on the label, it’s easy to perceive it as having a cherry flavor.

There’s no unpleasant aftertaste from artificial sweeteners, and it’s free from any off-flavors. However, as a cherry flavor, it might be a bit underwhelming.

As an energy drink brand from a well-established fitness supplement manufacturer, there is also an explanation about the key ingredients "carnosine" and "beta-power" on the label.

The image of the C4 supplement brand is directly reflected in the energy drink, giving it a strong impression of being a serious, fitness-focused energy drink. For those already familiar with the brand, this design will likely resonate strongly.
