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 PURE ZERO STRAWBERRY MANGO

Upon opening the can, you are greeted with the sweet and sour scent of strawberries, along with a slightly bitter and fresh aroma that resembles citrus fruit peel. The color is a bright, deep pink. Let's take a sip.
Flavor of ROCKSTAR PURE ZERO STRAWBERRY MANGO
When you take a sip, you'll experience a sweet and sour tropical fruit flavor, followed by a floral, fruity fragrance. The aftertaste gives the sensation of having eaten strawberry flesh, with its savory sweetness, sourness, and lingering aroma.

There is absolutely no unpleasant taste from artificial sweeteners. Despite being sugar-free, the smooth and soft fruity mouthfeel is impressive, and the aftertaste, with its fruitiness, brings out an overwhelming deliciousness.

Comparing to Similar Flavors from the U.S.

A similar flavor to ROCKSTAR PURE ZERO STRAWBERRY MANGO is the American Original #TMGS and the renewed ROCKSTAR PURE ZERO TANGERINE MANGO GUAVA STRAWBERRY, which is now available at all stores.

As you can tell from the product names, the Canadian ROCKSTAR PURE ZERO STRAWBERRY MANGO is essentially the same flavor but without tangerine and guava.

Because it has fewer flavor components, ROCKSTAR PURE ZERO STRAWBERRY MANGO showcases the strawberry and mango flavors more clearly. The mix of tropical fruits and strawberry is well-represented, and the flavor closely matches the product name.

The Best of the ROCKSTAR PURE ZERO Series is in Canada

The strawberry's acidity and the flavor of its fruitiness are absolutely exquisite. Whether consumed at room temperature, chilled, or with ice, it tastes great in any condition.

The refreshing sensation when drinking it quickly with ice is especially perfect for summer. Even with ice, the fruity flavor delivers satisfying richness, and the balance of taste and aroma is unparalleled, which is why I gave it a perfect score of 5.

This unique flavor, available only in Canada, is a must-try when traveling there!

Energy Ingredients of ROCKSTAR PURE ZERO STRAWBERRY MANGO
Contains 160mg of caffeine, 2002mg of taurine, 51mg of inositol, 4.7mg of ginseng, and 2.4mg of guarana.

Design of ROCKSTAR PURE ZERO STRAWBERRY MANGO

The can includes both English and French, the two official languages. The French text is on the right side of the front, while the English text is on the left, listing the flavor name and other details.

While I gave this flavor a perfect score of 5 for taste, I do wish the design better reflected its outstanding flavor.

Instead of just using the color and product name to hint at the flavor, it would be nice if the design could better capture the essence of the flavor, making it irresistible to pick up even before tasting it. I hope for a redesign that enhances its appeal.
