Red Bull Summer Edition 2020 Sunny Beam
Released in June 2020, the Summer Edition Sunny Beam, a limited edition exclusive to Japan.

While a watermelon-flavored Summer Edition was released worldwide for the summer of 2020, Japan was the only country to release its own exclusive version, the Sunny Beam, also known as the "Golden Red Bull."

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.

Taste of Red Bull Summer Edition 2020 Sunny Beam

The drink itself was orange. I had imagined it would be a champagne gold similar to the can color until I poured it into the glass, so it felt a bit odd.

Upon tasting, a refreshing pear flavor spreads in your mouth, followed by a sweet and sour tropical fruit mix. The fruity and satisfying flavor doesn’t linger too much, and the pear scent is refreshing, making it a perfect summer taste.

According to Red Bull, it’s a "pear & passion fruit" flavor, and I thought the tropical taste would be more dominant. However, the pear flavor was also quite strong, and the unique refreshing mouthfeel and the aroma that fades away after drinking were very pleasant, just as the flavor description suggested.

Since Sunny Beam is a summer-limited product, it’s great even when served chilled with plenty of ice. In fact, it might taste even better this way.

When chilled with ice, the pear’s juiciness stands out, and the passion fruit flavor turns into a clear sweetness, increasing the refreshing feeling. The key is to pour Sunny Beam into a glass filled with ice and drink it before the liquid gets watered down. I wish it had been available in a 250ml can instead of the 185ml one...

Design of Red Bull Summer Edition 2020 Sunny Beam

Although the "Golden Red Bull" is not exactly a summer-themed design, I personally love this color combination.

The main color, gold, contrasts beautifully with the deep burgundy. What really struck me was that the blue, instead of the usual silver, is a more subdued gray. This combination is just amazing (*´艸`*)

If it had been silver instead of gray, it wouldn't have had such a calm atmosphere.

Since it’s a limited-edition new product, I bought two cases (*´ェ`*)

Additionally, the blue on the back changes to a subdued mustard yellow, and looking at the entire can, you can enjoy a color scheme that reflects the beauty of Japan.

By the way, there has never been a Red Bull edition product as colorful as this released overseas in the past.

Recently, Red Bull Japan has continued to release exclusive edition flavors, which is quite unique globally. In fact, Japan and the United States are the only countries where such original products are sold in such quantities.

Red Bull Summer Edition 2020 Sunny Beam
I hope Red Bull continues to release original products unique to Japan, not just import flavors from abroad.
