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 Mother LEMON BITE

When opened, a sharp lemony scent mixed with a slight chemical tang escapes.

Upon tasting, the first sensation is a strong lemon-like acidity, followed by a bitter, fruit-forward lemon flavor. There’s a hint of sweetness like lemonade, allowing you to enjoy both the bitterness and the richness of the flavor. It's a tart and refreshing carbonated bitter lemon.

Mother series is known for having few cheap-tasting flavors, with most of them being exceptional. While there are many sour lemon and citrus-based energy drinks, including those from major brands, the Mother Energy series, starting with this LEMON BITE, stands out by adding an extra layer to create a rich and sophisticated taste.

LEMON BITE boasts a rich, bittersweet taste with a true lemon fruitiness, making it one of the top-tier lemon flavors from Oceania. It's a shame that this flavor was discontinued after Mother became part of Monster Energy.

Energy Ingredients of Mother LEMON BITE

Contains 160mg of caffeine, 2000mg of taurine, and guarana. The rich lemon flavor can be enjoyed, although it contains no fruit juice. Wonderful!

Design of Mother LEMON BITE

The combination of black and yellow creates a sharp, clear contrast, and the product name "LEMON BITE" makes the flavor easy to understand.

If you look closely, you'll see the gray can is designed with "M" from Mother scattered across it. Beautiful!

On the right is the design from when Mother LEMON BITE was first released in 2010.

The design combines a lemon with the silhouette of a shark's mouth, giving it a classic energy drink look. Personally, I like both designs, but there's something captivating about the old designs we can no longer see.

When Mother Energy Drink was acquired by Monster Energy, many of its flavors were discontinued.

Although the flavor itself was highly refined and a long-time bestseller, there were no direct competitors to it. Yet, it was inexplicably discontinued. Such a shame.
