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 GHOST ENERGY TROPICAL MANGO

Upon opening, the sweet aroma of mango and citrusy orange fills the air. What does this zero-sugar tropical mango taste like? Let's drink it and find out!
Flavor of GHOST ENERGY TROPICAL MANGO
Taking a sip, the sweet mango flavor is prominent. There's no tartness, just a smooth sweetness and tropical fragrance that fades away. The fruitiness is absent, and it tastes artificial, like there’s no actual juice.

Since there's no tartness, it lacks the typical fruity character. If you were expecting a tropical fruit mix flavor, you might feel a bit disappointed. Even though it's zero sugar, the lack of fruit flavor might be a bit harsh.

Since there's no aftertaste or lingering scent, it seems that they intentionally kept the flavor light by reducing the sweetness and aroma. It doesn’t aim to replicate the taste of fruit, but rather delivers a drinking experience closer to flavored water.

If you’re not expecting the flavor of tropical fruits, this is perfect for enjoying a refreshing, light drink. It’s also a great option when you’re tired of the strong flavors of typical energy drinks.

Energy Ingredients of GHOST ENERGY TROPICAL MANGO

Energy Ingredients of GHOST ENERGY TROPICAL MANGO
Contains 200mg of caffeine, 1000mg of carnitine, 1000mg of taurine, 150mg of α-GPC (a precursor of choline for cognitive function), 100mg of NeuroFactor (extracted from coffee), and 25mg of AstraGin, a combination of yellow hornet and dense ginseng that enhances amino acid absorption.

You may find many of the energy ingredients unfamiliar compared to other energy drinks. Since GHOST started as a supplement brand, it makes sense that their energy drink would feature ingredients that appeal to people knowledgeable about supplements (though the exact amounts may vary).

Although it's aimed at fitness, it also impacts brain function, enhancing exercise efficiency and supporting cognitive tasks. Since it’s zero sugar, you can get energy ingredients without unnecessary calories.

Design of GHOST ENERGY TROPICAL MANGO

The entire can has a matte texture with a smooth, shiny embossed GHOST logo. The palm tree design, which includes the flavor name, is also embossed with the same black color.

The orange main section features a glossy illustration common to the GHOST ENERGY series. Even though the design is all in orange, it’s subtly refined. The difference in texture between the matte and glossy finishes, along with the reflection of the shiny areas, creates a visually pleasing effect, adding a nice touch to the product.

On the back, the functional icons are arranged in a beautiful contrast of black and white against the orange background. Every detail in the icons and fonts reflects great design sense. GHOST ENERGY stands out from other energy drink brands in terms of its aesthetics.

Although the can isn’t directly printed, and the label might have a somewhat cheap impression, the texture and fun prints make the can feel of higher quality than other label-based products. Since 2020, many fitness-focused energy drinks have adopted this type of label, but GHOST ENERGY definitely stands out in this area.
