G FUEL BERRY BOMB

Posted on November 18, 2024 | Last updated January 27, 2025

2022 December release, this is my review of G FUEL BERRY BOMB.

Initially, it was a store-exclusive and region-exclusive product, sold at convenience store chains Sheetz and Kwik Trip. However, distribution later expanded, and it became available nationwide. That being said, it was only sold in a very limited number of stores, making it a difficult-to-find item once it was discontinued.

I thought it was impossible to get anymore... but in 2024, I was lucky enough to find it as a clearance item in Los Angeles.

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 G FUEL BERRY BOMB

Upon opening, a sweet and sour berry scent bursts out. It's not a fruity aroma but more akin to the smell often found in BCAA or EAA powder supplements. Let's take a sip.
Flavor of G FUEL BERRY BOMB
When I take a sip, a gentle blueberry flavor with no sourness, similar to the scent, spreads across my taste buds. The sweetness is light and artificial, not the punchy, rich flavor you'd expect from blueberries.

The taste is the complete opposite of the product's name and striking design; it's a mild, light flavor that can be described as thin.

The flavor lacks sweetness, richness, or acidity, leading to a taste with no ups and downs, making it hard to find much enjoyment in it. However, if you chill it with ice, you can enjoy a refreshing drinking experience.

On the other hand, if you drink it with ice, the blueberry flavor may become even more subtle, leaving you unsure of what flavor you're drinking. G FUEL BERRY BOMB seems to be more for those looking for a light and smooth drink that can be easily downed rather than for those seeking to savor the taste.

Energy Ingredients of G FUEL BERRY BOMB

It contains 300mg of caffeine, tyrosine, and theanine. As an energy drink aimed at gamers, it features high caffeine content along with brain-boosting ingredients.

Design of G FUEL BERRY BOMB

The design features colorful explosions and a playful character. The swirling, somewhat tacky design around the G FUEL logo, which was previously meant to evoke an explosion, has been replaced by more straightforward, character-driven imagery, improving the overall appearance.

The characters are cranberry, blueberry, and strawberry. From the moment I picked it up, it was clear that the design is focused on a strawberry mix flavor.

I really like this design and characters; it fits well with G FUEL's brand image and is easy to understand. Personally, I'm quite fond of it.

I discovered this clearance item at the end of 2024 in Los Angeles. I was lucky enough to get a fresh unit with an expiration date of 2026. It's surprising that, despite being a limited edition product, it continued to be produced for over two years after its release.

G FUEL products often have region- or store-specific availability, and even within the distribution region, they're not available in all stores, making them difficult to find, even in the U.S.

However, I was able to confirm that even limited edition products can remain in production for over two years, and for someone like me living outside the U.S., it's reassuring to know that with patience and persistence, it's possible to track them down during trips to the U.S.
