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 SOUR GUMMY BLAST
Upon opening the can, a citrusy, bitter limeade-like aroma bursts out. I initially thought it would be a grape-flavored drink due to the purple can color, but the scent was different. The flavor is described as "sour gummy," and after smelling it, I can definitely see the connection. Let's taste it.
The first sip brings a refreshing, sweet-sour citrus lime flavor with a gummy bear twist. There is no artificial chemical smell in the fragrance, and the taste is a refreshing, sweet-sour lime or ramune-like flavor. It doesn’t have the typical junky gummy or chewing gum flavor.
The aftertaste is subtle, making it easy to drink, and there is no unpleasant artificial sweetener taste. Those who enjoy a stronger chemical flavor may find it lacking, but personally, I appreciate how naturally drinkable it is.
Energy Ingredients of REDCON1 ENERGY SOUR GUMMY BLAST
The drink contains 200mg of caffeine, 200mg of Alpha-GPC for brain function support, 1000mg of carnitine for fat burning, and 1000mg of taurine.
Design of REDCON1 ENERGY SOUR GUMMY BLAST
The can features a black base with fluorescent green and purple digital camo. The color scheme makes it hard to immediately imagine the flavor.
At the top of the can, there is a gummy bear icon that represents the flavor.
The back of the can features a balanced arrangement of icons, a QR code for information about ingredients, and charitable activities related to military organizations, all beautifully designed.
Energy drinks from supplement brands are known for their sleek back designs, and particularly the REDCON1 ENERGY series stands out with its excellent use of icons and color schemes.
