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 REDCON1 ENERGY BAJA BOMB

Upon opening, the sweet scent of coconut and a subtle lime aroma burst out. I was surprised by this coconut fragrance as there was no coconut illustration on the packaging.

When I take a sip, the sweet and soft taste of coconut spreads, followed by a refreshing and clean lime flavor that gradually fades away. The coconut's sweet flavor lingers until the end, and most of the flavor is coconut.

The taste itself is a crisp and refreshing lime flavor with a clean acidity, without the smooth mouthfeel of coconut. Coconut here serves purely as a fragrance.

However, the strong coconut fragrance overlays the freshness of the lime, making it feel almost sweet, even though it's not actually sweet. I think anyone who dislikes coconut might have a hard time drinking this.

Since the packaging didn't have a coconut image, and the tropical fruit-themed design on the package is quite strong, the overwhelming coconut scent could be divisive.

Many new fitness-focused energy drinks released since 2020 include brain function-supporting ingredients like α-GPC, and REDCON1 ENERGY is one of them.

The can features a matte black base with turquoise blue that evokes the image of a tropical sea, along with the simple design of the REDCON1 logo.

The cut fruit at the top of the can gives a vague idea of the flavor. While the coconut flavor is strong, there's no coconut depicted in this flavor image.

The back of the can neatly summarizes the energy ingredients and the concept behind the product.

Beautiful fruits are lined up on the back, and the contrast between the black background and the high-quality fruit images gives an elegant feel, making the can seem somewhat luxurious.

REDCON1 ENERGY donates a portion of its sales to military-related charitable organizations. This is likely why the upper and lower parts of the can feature a digital camouflage pattern.

Several American energy drink brands donate to military-related organizations that support the country, and REDCON1 ENERGY is one of them.

The United States provides exceptional support for its military personnel and veterans, and it's common for individuals to express patriotism and respect for heroes. It's interesting to see this uniquely American touch in energy drinks, something you won't find in other countries.
