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 Real Sweet Aroma and Gentle Fruit Flavor
Opening the can releases a sweet and sour scent, reminiscent of strawberries, without the typical chemical note found in most energy drinks.
Upon taking a sip, the flavor is gently sweet with a subtle acidity, blending strawberry, apple, and pear notes. While it might also hint at dragon fruit, it's hard to say for sure (^_^;)
Despite being fruit juice-free, the flavor is not artificial but has a natural feel. This is likely due to its balance, without an overpowering sweetness, sourness, or fragrance. This is a flavor that even those who don't typically drink energy drinks would likely enjoy.
If you’re familiar with Monster Energy’s Rehab series, you might find it easier to imagine the flavor. Compared to Rehab, Kronik’s Dragon Berry is gentler on the throat with a fruity sweetness and smooth drinkability.
Energy Ingredients of Kronik ENERGY DRAGON BERRY
Contains 150mg of caffeine, 2000mg of taurine, 150mg of glucuronolactone, 100mg of guarana, 100mg of ginseng, 50mg of milk thistle, and 50mg of ginkgo biloba. Classic American energy ingredients are included in a wide variety.
Design of Kronik ENERGY DRAGON BERRY
The can is black with a red Kronik logo, and the design is adorned with barbed wire at the top and bottom, a cringe-worthy touch typical of energy drink aesthetics.
The back features a poem message. While these types of poems have become cheesy in recent years and are less common, they offer an old-school feel that represents the energy drink boom in the U.S. around 2008. Today, the nostalgia of this style adds to the enjoyment.
The tab is a red tab. Every detail (including the cringe-worthy aspects) was carefully considered, encapsulating the energy drink’s charm at that time.
