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 Clean Collective ENERGY FOREST BERRY

Upon opening, a refreshing scent reminiscent of blueberries and grapes bursts out. It's a light fragrance that suggests a crisp taste without a strong fruitiness. The liquid itself is colorless and transparent. Let me take a sip.
Flavor of Clean Collective ENERGY FOREST BERRY
When I take a sip, it feels like sparkling water with a faint grape aroma added, offering a refreshing and light drinking experience, almost without taste.

As mentioned earlier, the flavoring is almost nonexistent. To be precise, there is a slight aftertaste of mild acidity, enhanced by erythritol, but this is hard to recognize as flavor. It's more of a "taste-less taste," with just flavoring added to sparkling water, giving a refreshing sensation.

Therefore, I would not recommend it to those looking for a strong and bold flavor in their energy drinks.

So, who is this product suitable for? I think it would be great for health-conscious individuals or those on a diet who want to drink an energy drink with a refined taste and low sugar content.

Personally, I love sparkling waters like this because the refreshing carbonation and subtle fragrance help me feel revitalized, making it perfect for a morning drink.

This design has the vibe often found in natural or organic products.

The back of the can is also simple, with just the ingredient list and company information.

There are no unnecessary elements like energy-related slogans or claims. The brand's image is straightforward and simple.

The design, when viewed alone, is typical of organic, additive-free, and natural drinks. The clean, white base design is simple, which can make it harder to establish a distinctive character.

From what I've seen on social media, there's a unique world view that blends a retro party vibe with a natural image. Plus, they consistently run their social media. Though I only saw the product once in New Zealand, it seems to have a certain level of popularity in organic grocery stores, and the brand is likely recognized.
