clever ENERGY DRINK ERDBEER LIMETTE
This is the new strawberry-lime flavored energy drink from the private brand "clever" of the Austrian supermarket chain "BILLA," released in July 2023. I bought it in Austria during the summer of 2024.
I’ve always had the impression that clever’s energy drinks have high-quality flavors, so I’m looking forward to trying this one. Let’s get into the review!

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 clever ENERGY DRINK ERDBEER LIMETTE
Upon opening the can, a sweet and sour raspberry-like scent bursts out. I wondered what flavor it could be, and when I checked the label to see that it was strawberry, I thought, "Well, this might be the scent of sweet and sour strawberry candy?" However, the typical strawberry taste isn’t very strong here.
When I take a sip, I taste a sweet and sour, fresh mix of raspberry, cranberry, and tangy strawberry—kind of a red berry mix flavor.
It lacks a true fruitiness and instead tastes more like sugary berry mix candy or red berry punch, but it’s not unpleasant. The flavor is simple and clean, with no off-tastes, making it pretty enjoyable. The 250ml can is easy to finish in no time.
The aftertaste leaves just enough berry flavor lingering, without being too heavy or sticky, which makes it easy to drink. It’s not too intense but still refreshing, with a strong red berry punch flavor that provides a satisfying experience. This flavor will likely appeal to a broad range of people.
All of this for just 0.49 euros. I’m continually impressed by the excellent value and reliable quality of Europe’s supermarket private brand energy drinks, especially with their consistently great flavors in each new release.

Design of clever ENERGY DRINK ERDBEER LIMETTE
The main color is a reddish-orange, which doesn’t quite look like a typical strawberry flavor.
Additionally, the design has been updated, now featuring a combination of flavor color and mirror silver. The mirror silver part has "ENERGY" written in gray, giving it a bit of a tacky look. But since it's a supermarket private brand, the slightly tacky design is to be expected, and it might even be part of the charm of these products.
