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 GORILLA MIND ARCTIC WHITE

Upon opening, the scent of grapefruit bursts out. There's a slight hint of a powdery medicinal odor, similar to what I experienced with GORILLA MIND ORANGE RUSH, which makes me a little concerned... The liquid itself has a cloudy color resembling grapefruit flesh. Now, let's give it a try.

The first sip delivers a pleasant tartness and the fresh sweetness of fruit, with a slight bitter note of grapefruit soda spreading across the palate.

The powdery medicinal smell I noticed when opening the can does persist, and it lingers with the grapefruit scent after drinking. However, it's not as strong as the scent from GORILLA MIND ORANGE RUSH, so it may not be a concern for those who are not particularly sensitive to fragrances.

The flavor has a subtle fruitiness, though it's hard to pinpoint—it's a delicate balance.

Drinking it with ice increases the refreshing sensation, but the fruitiness fades. Meanwhile, the grapefruit flavor also diminishes, and the powdery medicinal smell becomes more prominent, which might be a downside. Those with sensitive taste and smell may find this off-putting.

Energy Ingredients of GORILLA MIND ARCTIC WHITE

Energy Ingredients of GORILLA MIND ARCTIC WHITE
It contains 200mg of caffeine, 1000mg of acetyl-L-tyrosine for cognitive function enhancement, 400mg of Alpha-GPC, a precursor of acetylcholine for brain function improvement, 200mg of uridine acid for stress relief, 100mg of theanine for stress reduction, 15mg of saffron extract for high-stress and anxiety relief, and 200mcg of fulvic acid for brain function enhancement.

Looking at the energy ingredients, it seems the formula is focused on enhancing brain function, cognitive abilities, and stabilizing mental stress rather than physical performance.

Personally, I enjoy exploring smart ingredients, so it's clear to anyone with some knowledge that the focus here is on brain-enhancing benefits, which is in line with the brand's image, focusing on the mind rather than physical performance.

The design features a simple white film wrap with the logo and an image of a white iceberg representing the flavor.

GORILLA MIND is a fitness supplement brand, but since this energy drink series focuses on nootropic products that affect brain function, the logo includes an image of the brain. This logo is unique to the nootropic products within the GORILLA MIND lineup.

The back side features a clean arrangement of gray icons on a white background. The color scheme is sleek and easy to read, which I personally like. It feels like a modern fitness brand design.

However, the icon arrangement, grid display of ingredients, and overall layout closely resemble the design of GHOST ENERGY. This similarity stood out to me. While it's debatable whether this is considered a direct copy, GHOST ENERGY might not feel too pleased about it.
