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 PSYCHIK ENERGY REGULAR
As you can imagine from the color, the scent is unmistakably a classic, traditional flavor.
When I tasted it, I found it to have a sweet and sour, slightly bitter chemical flavor, a classic chemical-style flavor.
It’s not overwhelmingly chemical, though. The sweet and sour taste that defines the classic flavor is well-balanced with the chemical notes, making it a satisfying and well-rounded drink.
As a private label energy drink from a supermarket, this is a rare product in Europe that offers a distinctive classic flavor. While many traditional European energy drinks are reliable and safe choices, PSYCHIK stands out for having a bit more edge.
This flavor is perfect for those who believe an energy drink should not only be sweet but also have that slightly dark, unhealthy, addictive taste to it.
Energy Ingredients of PSYCHIK ENERGY REGULAR
It contains 52.5mg of caffeine and 72.5mg of taurine. In terms of energy ingredients, it’s on the lower end. Even though it’s labeled as a taurine drink, the small amount of taurine feels a bit lacking.
Design of PSYCHIK ENERGY REGULAR
The mirror-silver can has a design that feels like it’s about to be shattered. As a low-cost supermarket private label energy drink, it doesn’t have much attention to design, and there’s an undeniable cheapness to it.
I believe the typical PSYCHIK consumer isn’t too concerned about design or branding. For them, the key is that it’s tasty and affordable. Since the design hasn’t changed since the product was first released and sales continue, it seems to have a steady fan base.
