Red Bull ORGANICS GINGER ALE
The main product of the Red Bull ORGANICS series, released in 2017, and the longest-selling one is the Red Bull ORGANICS GINGER ALE.
In Japan, the Red Bull ORGANICS series was discontinued early, and even in Europe, where Red Bull's headquarters is located, the number of countries selling Red Bull ORGANICS is now limited.
This time, I will review the Red Bull ORGANICS GINGER ALE that I purchased in Austria during the summer of 2024.

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 Red Bull ORGANICS GINGER ALE
Upon opening the can, a burst of stimulating ginger aroma fills the air. The color of the liquid is exactly like ginger... As I’m not a fan of spicy flavors, I hesitated to try it.
When I took a sip, a slightly spicy, not too sweet ginger ale flavor spread across my palate. Even though I’m sensitive to spice, the level of heat here is mild, so most people will likely not find it spicy at all.
Ginger ales can be broadly categorized into sweet and spicy types, but Red Bull ORGANICS GINGER ALE falls somewhere in between—neither spicy nor sweet, offering a surprisingly calm and balanced taste. If you’re used to the more common ginger ales in Japan, the flavor might be a bit underwhelming.
The flavor impact is relatively subtle, but what stands out in Red Bull ORGANICS GINGER ALE is the hint of bitterness from the herbs used in its formula. The aftertaste is smooth, offering a crisp drinking experience with no lingering aftertaste, leaving a light and refreshing impression.
It doesn’t have a particularly distinctive flavor and is quite an ordinary ginger ale. It may be questionable whether someone would go out of their way to buy Red Bull ORGANICS GINGER ALE.
Energy Ingredients in Red Bull ORGANICS GINGER ALE
Since Red Bull ORGANICS is not an energy drink, it does not contain any energy ingredients.
Design of Red Bull ORGANICS GINGER ALE
The design of Red Bull ORGANICS GINGER ALE uses a calming combination of orange and mustard yellow, effectively representing the ginger ale flavor.
The simple design with restrained use of colors gives it a slightly rich and sophisticated feel, perfect for an organic beverage.
Despite not containing energy ingredients, it’s priced similarly to energy drinks. It’s interesting to think about how much demand there is for Red Bull products that aren’t energy drinks.
In Europe, the Red Bull ORGANICS series was first released in 2017, and since then, a second round of products has been launched, particularly in Germany and Austria. During my trip to Austria in July 2024, I found that a new peach-flavored variant had been released, suggesting that there may be a certain level of demand for these products in the countries where they are sold.
