Released in February 2023, the ROCKSTAR PUNCHED PEACH is a Canada-exclusive flavor.

Fruit mix flavors that include peach have been released as new flavors across both the U.S. and Canada from 2022 to 2023. However, the peach-only flavor in the Punch series is a first for Canada, and as of 2023, it is only available in Canada.

Now, let’s try the sugar-packed Punch series with peach flavor.

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 ROCKSTAR PUNCHED PEACH

Upon opening the can, a sweet peach flesh and peach syrup aroma fills the air. The color is a rich orange, and it looks like it will pack a punch in flavor. Let’s take a sip.
Flavor of ROCKSTAR PUNCHED PEACH
When I take a sip, it’s a sweet and sour, concentrated peach flavor. Along with the peach flavor, I can also taste a smooth sweetness, almost like apple.

The addition of this smooth apple-like sweetness adds a subtle twist to the flavor, preventing it from being a monotonous peach flavor. Instead, it creates a complex fruitiness with a combination of flavors.

With the rich sweetness of peach, a tangy accent, and a lasting, dense aroma, it’s a satisfying and flavorful peach experience.

If you drink it over ice, the refreshing sensation intensifies, and the delicate peach fruitiness takes the spotlight, transforming it into a flavor that almost resembles peach juice with fruit pulp.

The ice lightens the taste, and you’ll realize the high-quality nature of the fragrance. The peach’s bright aroma, savory flavor, and fruitiness are perfectly replicated. Personally, I feel that the peach flavor of ROCKSTAR PUNCHED PEACH reaches its peak when it’s enjoyed over ice.

Rather than drinking it immediately after purchasing, I recommend chilling it first, then adding ice and tasting it. You’ll be surprised by how the peach flavor changes. Which do you prefer—chilled or over ice?

Energy Ingredients of ROCKSTAR PUNCHED PEACH

Energy Ingredients of ROCKSTAR PUNCHED PEACH
Contains 160mg of caffeine, 63mg of taurine, 4.5mg of ginseng, and 3mg of guarana.

In Canada, Rockstar series drinks often have lower taurine content, and this ROCKSTAR PUNCHED PEACH is no exception.

The original American ROCKSTAR PUNCHED series contains 240mg of caffeine, but due to caffeine content regulations in Canada, the caffeine is capped at 160mg.

In addition to caffeine, the high sugar content is another feature of the ROCKSTAR PUNCHED series. With 68g of sugar, be sure not to drink too much.

Design of ROCKSTAR PUNCHED PEACH

The design follows the common theme of the Punch series, with shades of orange and pink representing the peach flesh.

The design includes both English and French, the official languages of Canada, with the flavor name listed in English on the left and in French on the right.

A similar design and flavor product to this ROCKSTAR PUNCHED PEACH in Canada was released in the U.S. in 2022 as part of the ROCKSTAR PUNCHED series.

On the left is the U.S. release of the ROCKSTAR PUNCHED PEACH BERRY FREEZE. The main colors are very similar. While the flavors differ, the appearance is similar enough that it’s hard to tell them apart at first glance.

Additionally, both Canada and the U.S. have released new products in the Punch series, with similar colors but different flavors. These aren’t just slightly different versions of the same product, but completely different items that happen to look similar. If you travel to the U.S. or Canada, it might be fun to try them side by side and compare.
