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 Freeway up BLACKCURRANT

The color is more natural than I expected. A sweet blueberry-like fragrance fills the air.
Flavor of Freeway up BLACKCURRANT
Upon tasting, it has a sweet and sour flavor reminiscent of blueberry candy. While it lacks the fruitiness, it doesn’t taste cheap, and the absence of excessive acidity or bitterness makes it a flavor that will appeal to most people.

There’s no chemical or artificial flavor, just a very ordinary blueberry juice taste. For a supermarket's private brand product, a flavor like this with no strong aftertaste and at a low price has enough merit, so personally, I would rate it highly overall.

The meaning behind the "X"-like logo and the term "act" is unclear. The small red "Freeway up" logo is the Lidl private brand mark, and Freeway up products are sold in many different categories, not just energy drinks.
