Released in January 2024, this is one of three flavors in the collaboration series with the ice cream brand "Popsicle," C4 PERFORMANCE ENERGY Popsicle HAWAIIAN PINEAPPLE.

A downside of this product is that the orange color on the top of the can doesn’t immediately make you think of pineapple flavor, which might confuse some. However, the collaboration with the beloved American ice cream brand Popsicle is the key point of interest here. Let's dive into a detailed review of both the taste and design.

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.

C4 PERFORMANCE ENERGY Popsicle HAWAIIAN PINEAPPLE's Taste

Upon opening the can, a gentle scent of pineapple ice cream fills the air. It’s not a juicy, fruity aroma but rather the characteristic pineapple scent of sorbet ice cream.

As you sip, the pineapple aroma envelops your nose, and a gentle sweetness and slight acidity create a smooth, natural pineapple flavor.

This doesn’t taste like cheap pineapple flavoring from ice lollies but a more realistic pineapple flavor. It’s not overly artificial either, which is a great plus.

The light, delicate flavor makes it easy to drink quickly, which I personally appreciate. Sometimes, when the fruitiness is too intense, you can get tired of the flavor midway.

The can has the classic yellow and black C4 logo, with the addition of the flavor color. The surface of the can is smoother than traditional C4 series cans, giving it a more standard appearance.

Since this is a collaboration with Popsicle, the Popsicle logo appears at the top of the can, and the phrase "SPORT + FITNESS" is included at the bottom. This contrasts with the hardcore image usually associated with the C4 ENERGY series.
