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.

Perfectly Sweet and Sour Lemon Flavor

When you open the can, a sweet aroma spreads out, which doesn’t immediately suggest it's lemon-flavored. You can tell right away that it's not a tart, citrusy lemon flavor.

Upon tasting, it’s a smooth, sweet lemon flavor. The usual citrus tang is mild, with a strong sweetness, making it reminiscent of lemonade.

Though it’s a sweetened lemon flavor, it’s zero-calorie and zero-sugar. There’s no artificial sweetener taste, and it’s a high-quality drink that maintains its flavor all the way through to the aftertaste.

The aftertaste is lightly lingering and refreshing, making it ideal for a pre-workout boost or to feel rejuvenated.

It’s a great drink for hydration before or during exercise, and the lemon flavor fits perfectly with the fitness product concept.

When served with ice, the sweetness turns into a refreshing sensation, making it irresistible to gulp down. During summer, REIGN LEMON HDZ will be the perfect energy drink to enjoy. It’s a must-try when you visit the U.S.!

Energy Ingredients of REIGN LEMON HDZ

It contains 300mg of caffeine, BCAA, and CoQ10. With such high caffeine content, it delivers a solid awakening effect. It’s great before exercise or for work and study sessions that require focus. The exact amounts of BCAA and CoQ10 aren’t specified, so you may not want to have high expectations there.

Design of REIGN LEMON HDZ

The color combination of yellow and blue is a bit odd. Perhaps it's just the yellow of lemon paired with its complementary color? The use of color in the REIGN series often comes off as cheap and unappealing.

The back features fitness-related icons. For those unfamiliar with the REIGN brand, it’s clear that this is an energy drink targeted toward sports enthusiasts. With 300mg of caffeine, it’s recommended for those 18 and over.

Personally, I think REIGN LEMON HDZ is a great lemon-flavored drink, perfectly balancing a refreshing taste with just the right amount of sweetness, making it ideal for summer and for pairing with exercise. However, the packaging design leaves much to be desired. The color combination seems limited, and it might be time for the REIGN brand as a whole to undergo a redesign.
