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 the Classic, Rich Cranberry Flavor

Upon opening, a sweet and tangy, rich cranberry juice aroma fills the air. The flavor is just as rich.

When you take a sip, the perfect balance of tartness and the sweetness of cranberry fruit creates a rich cranberry flavor. The balance of taste and aroma is so well aligned that you might even think it contains real cranberry juice—this is a top-tier flavor.

The aftertaste is surprisingly mild, and the texture is not too dense, making it easy to drink. It's a traditional, classic cranberry juice flavor that’s both familiar and comforting.

As I review low-cost energy drinks, I’m always amazed and impressed when I come across a classic, delicious flavor like this one.

It contains 80mg of caffeine and 1000mg of taurine. I thought it might contain fruit juice, but it does not.

Design of S BUDGET ENERGY DRINK Cranberry

The simple combination of pink and gold with a fir tree logo. This is the common design for SPAR’s private label products, and the energy drinks use flavor-specific colors for each variety.

However, with just this, it’s hard to tell whether it’s cranberry-flavored, and the design is too simple to effectively convey the appeal of the flavor. It’s a shame. The design later shifts to include flavor imagery, so it seems like using color alone to categorize the products wasn’t the best choice.

The tab features the fir tree logo engraved on it, and it’s a color tab as well. It’s a nice touch and quite interesting.

In Europe, even low-cost supermarket private label products like this one are often made with great attention to detail, so I highly recommend exploring supermarkets when you visit Europe. You should be able to find these private label energy drinks in every supermarket.
