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 Icy Blue Lemonade
When opened, a sharp, citrusy scent reminiscent of lemon and grapefruit hits the nose. The fragrance itself is not overwhelming but has a citrusy, bitter aroma. Let's take a sip and see how it tastes.
Upon taking a sip, the tartness I expected from the aroma is not as strong, and it has a smooth, clear drinking experience with a sweet and sour lemon flavor. The tartness is milder than anticipated, and there is no bitterness, just a refreshing, sweet lemonade taste.
The usual soft and smooth flavor of traditional lemonade is faint, replaced by a fresh, sweet lemon flavor. Despite this, there is a noticeable aftertaste that lingers, leaving a sweet finish, which makes it feel surprisingly sweet for a drink without sugar.
This "refreshing yet noticeably sweet" contrast might be hard to imagine for the Icy Blue Lemonade flavor, but I realized that the citrusy, bitter aroma from the fragrance helps create that perfect refreshing taste.
The flavor itself is sweetened with artificial sweeteners, and the citric acid's tanginess is well balanced. The addition of a refreshing scent creates a unique taste. Give REDCON1 ENERGY Icy Blue Lemonade a try and enjoy the distinctive blue lemonade flavor.
Energy Ingredients of REDCON1 ENERGY Icy Blue Lemonade
It contains 200mg of caffeine, 200mg of α-GPC, 1000mg of L-carnitine, and 1000mg of taurine.
Since 2020, many new fitness energy drinks have included brain function-supporting ingredients like α-GPC, and REDCON1 ENERGY is one of them.
Design of REDCON1 ENERGY Icy Blue Lemonade
The design features a black base with the yellow REDCON1 logo in the flavor color. Combined with the bright, vivid light blue, which represents the blue lemonade, the digital camouflage design makes it easy to associate with the flavor.
The design clearly displays the "Zero Zero" and the 200mg caffeine content, making it easy to identify.
The flavor image at the top of the can features a classic lemon illustration combined with an unnatural, vivid blue, perfectly capturing the essence of blue lemonade.
As seen in the digital camouflage pattern, the REDCON1 series is an energy drink brand that has pledged support to military-related organizations.
There are several energy drink brands that express their support for heroes who protect the country, and it is a positive impression that a high-priced brand like this also shows such support.
The back of the can is neatly organized with energy ingredients and their benefits depicted using icons.
Flavor images and logos are placed, and the back design is also beautifully structured. It's a design typical of a supplement manufacturer's energy drink, and I personally like it.
