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 UNPLUGGED RASPBERRY CUCUMBER
When you open the can, there's a sweet and tangy berry scent, with a hint of melon-like cucumber aroma. Checking the flavor, it's "Raspberry Cucumber." Ah, indeed, the cucumber's fresh and refreshing vibe is coming through with that melon-like scent. Personally, I like cucumber, so I'm looking forward to trying this. Let's take a sip.
As you take a sip, you're greeted by a gentle, clear raspberry flavor with a sweet taste, leaving a light aftertaste. After the fruity raspberry flavor, the refreshing cucumber aroma smoothly fades away. This is really tasty! I love the refreshing feel and light drinking experience.
By the way, there isn't much of a raspberry fruitiness, nor is it a strong flavor or scent—it's more like a refreshing flavored water that you can drink easily.
So, for those who seek bold flavors in energy drinks, this will likely feel a bit too mild. Especially the cucumber’s refreshing juiciness and the light melon-like aroma afterward may not appeal to the "strong flavor" crowd. It's a surprisingly refreshing taste coming from such a red-colored drink.
When you consider the light flavor and the white slim can, it seems to be inspired by the CELSIUS series, which has rapidly gained market share and even overtaken Rockstar. I wonder what kind of results this strategy has led to?
Energy Ingredients of ROCKSTAR UNPLUGGED RASPBERRY CUCUMBER
It contains 80mg of caffeine. There are no other energy ingredients included.
The hemp seed oil, a feature of the ROCKSTAR UNPLUGGED series, isn’t an energy ingredient nor is it known to provide any special effects, so it’s best to think of it as an image-enhancing ingredient.
Design of ROCKSTAR UNPLUGGED RASPBERRY CUCUMBER
The slim white can features a big star combining the colors of raspberry and cucumber. The design surrounding the big star is called "Groove Shape," which represents aura, music, and energy.
These three flavors are part of the newly released ROCKSTAR UNPLUGGED series.
The design uses a smaller straight star, with "HEMP SEED" prominently placed at the top front, and the flavor name clearly displayed on the front. It’s a straightforward and easy-to-understand design.
Since Rockstar was acquired by PepsiCo, there was a disastrous design where the unnecessarily large star blocked the brand name, series name, and flavor name from being visible. However, the design of the ROCKSTAR UNPLUGGED series seems to have been improved a bit.
