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 SUPER SOURS BUBBLEBERRY

The liquid is a light pink color, and with a bubbleberry flavor, I was wondering—strawberry flavor? Bubblegum flavor? What?? So I gave it a try.
First, the aroma is like candy, with a sweet sugary scent. The taste is sweet from artificial sweeteners, with a grape-like subtle sweetness and sourness. It has a rather indescribable, faintly strange taste (；´∀｀).
The aftertaste has a slight chemical flavor. It’s a bit hard to get a grip on the overall flavor.

The sweet aroma vaguely reminded me of candies I used to eat as a kid.
Yes, it reminded me of "Wata Pachi" (a popping candy)! While the bubbleberry flavor doesn’t actually pop, it somehow tastes like Wata Pachi.
So, overall, the flavor is light, easy to drink, but it lacks any real impact.

Extreme Opinions: Love it or Hate it

After doing some research, I found many extreme opinions. Some say, "I can’t drink this, it’s terrible," while others are overly positive, saying "I’ve never had anything like this! I can’t understand why people are saying it’s bad."
Some even said, "What is this, it’s unpleasant," and I couldn’t help but laugh at it.

While I wouldn’t say it’s unpleasant, it’s just lightly sweet, so you almost don’t feel like you’re drinking an energy drink. It feels more like a cheap juice.

Rockstar’s Identity Seems Hard to Pin Down

The pull tab is black. I thought it could’ve been blue, matching the can, or the liquid could’ve been a light blue with a bold, strong carbonated soda-like flavor.
In fact, many of Rockstar’s cans have designs that seem mismatched with the pull tabs. Since the flavor itself wasn’t quite up to par, I felt like mentioning this as well (；´∀｀).
