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 EXOTIC KIWI
When opened, a sweet and sour kiwi aroma, along with a strawberry-like scent, bursts out. This time, it's not just a simple kiwi flavor; being labeled as "Exotic Kiwi," it might include other fruity notes as well. Let me take a sip.
Upon tasting, a strong sour kiwi flavor spreads across the palate, accompanied by the sweet and sour taste of strawberry and the tangy notes of passion fruit, creating a sour fruit flavor profile.
There’s no juicy richness, but the sharp strawberry and kiwi sourness, along with a light, melon-like taste, lingers and creates a refreshing mouthfeel.
The aftertaste is dominated by the sourness, but it doesn’t linger too much on the tongue, offering a pleasant sour fruit mix.
Energy Ingredients of GORILLA MIND EXOTIC KIWI
This product contains 200mg of caffeine, 1000mg of acetyl-L-tyrosine for cognitive function improvement, 400mg of Alpha-GPC (a precursor to acetylcholine) for brain function enhancement, 200mg of uridine monophosphate for stress relief, 100mg of L-theanine for stress reduction, 15mg of saffron extract for stress and anxiety relief, and 200mcg of Fulvestrant A for cognitive improvement.
Looking at the energy ingredients, the formulation is mainly designed to enhance brain function, cognitive performance, and stabilize mental stress.
Personally, I’m quite interested in smart ingredients and often research them, so I can recognize that the brand image is more targeted toward the brain than physical performance. Those with some knowledge in this area will notice the brand’s emphasis on mental rather than physical benefits.
Design of GORILLA MIND EXOTIC KIWI
The can is wrapped in a green film, reflecting the kiwi flavor as the main feature.
The logo, which depicts not just a gorilla's face but also its brain, is not typically used for GORILLA MIND's regular supplement products but is reserved for their nootropic products.
Since this energy drink series is also designed with mental-focus nootropic ingredients, it uses this distinctive logo.
On the back, there are icons listing benefits and a grid displaying the ingredients.
However, the design and layout are strikingly similar to GHOST ENERGY, which is something that stood out to me.
