Red Bull TROPICAL EDITION SUGARFREE
This is the Sugarfree version of the Tropical Edition released in the UK. The UK is one of the few countries where Sugarfree versions of the Edition series are often released.

I’m excited to see how the zero-sugar version of this exquisite tropical fruit flavor has turned out.

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.

Sugarfree Tropical Fruit Flavor with a Struggle to Succeed

The aroma is the same as the full-sugar Tropical Edition. You can't really feel the zero-sugar difference. It looks the same, and if you’re told it’s sugarfree, you might not even notice.

When you drink it, the acidity is slightly subdued, and the richness is gone, replaced by a mellow sweetness like fruit candy. Knowing the deliciousness of the full-sugar version, this one feels a bit lacking in comparison.

Although the flavor of the artificial sweetener has been suppressed as much as possible, there’s still a slight aftertaste that remains, and it’s a bit noticeable.

The full-sugar Tropical Fruit version had a high degree of flavor replication, but as soon as it went sugarfree, the fruitiness was lost. It feels like an attempt to recreate it that didn’t quite succeed. If asked which I would choose, I would immediately say the full-sugar version. It's not bad, but I don't feel the need to choose this one.

Like the original Sugarfree version, it features a light blue accent, which has already become a recognizable image for Red Bull Sugarfree, making it easy to identify. Of course, the tab also adopts the light blue color of Sugarfree.
