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 STARBURST CHERRY
Upon opening, a faint scent of cherry and fruit punch wafts out. The aroma is surprisingly subtle. Let's give it a try.
As I take a sip, the strong sour cherry flavor hits first, followed by a refreshing aftertaste that leaves a clean sensation.
While the aroma suggests sour cherry, the flavor itself has a crispness reminiscent of sour apple, with subdued sweetness. The cherry flavoring isn't intense, making it clear this product isn't about delivering a rich cherry experience.
There's no unpleasant aftertaste from artificial sweeteners. The lingering tangy sensation creates a fullness that makes it hard to believe this is a zero-sugar drink.
The restrained aroma may contribute to the smooth, natural drinking experience. However, opinions may vary on how much of the cherry essence comes through. Some might wish for a more pronounced cherry flavor.
That said, the pleasant tang and light, refreshing feel make C4 ENERGY STARBURST CHERRY stand out. Personally, I find it to be an easy-to-drink cherry flavor that earns a high rating.
Energy Ingredients of C4 ENERGY STARBURST CHERRY
This contains 200mg of caffeine, beta-alanine, and acetyl-tyrosine, matching the energy ingredients in the C4 Original line.
You might notice a tingling sensation on your face while drinking, which is caused by the beta-alanine and is not a sign of anything abnormal.
Design of C4 ENERGY STARBURST CHERRY
The design combines C4 ENERGY's base yellow color with the flavor's red theme. The STARBURST logo is prominently displayed near the top of the can, with the flavor name clearly labeled nearby—this clarity is a nice touch.
The combination of yellow and red mirrors the iconic STARBURST color palette, making this collaboration with the C4 ENERGY series feel seamless.
Notably, the wavy design mimics STARBURST's signature style, creating a perfect match that enhances the collaborative feel.
The side of the can features unmistakable STARBURST illustrations.
The back also incorporates the signature wavy STARBURST design, blending so naturally that it feels as if this design was always part of the can.
I never expected the base colors and design elements of C4 to harmonize so effortlessly with STARBURST. It's a simple yet highly effective collaboration design that I consider top-tier.
