S BUDGET ENERGY DRINK Marille Erdbeere
Released in July 2023, this is the "S BUDGET ENERGY DRINK Marille Erdbeere" from the private-label energy drink brand of the European supermarket chain "SPAR."
The German phrase "Marille Erdbeere" translates to apricot & strawberry flavor. This is a clone product from the S BUDGET series, created to compete with the Red Bull SUMMER EDITION 2022 Strawberry Apricot, which was released by Red Bull in 2022.
It’s interesting that, just like Red Bull, S BUDGET continues to release the same flavor each year in Austria. Let’s take a closer look at the taste in this review.

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 S BUDGET ENERGY DRINK Marille Erdbeere
When opened, a sweet strawberry milk candy-like aroma fills the air. The bright red liquid is the same color as Red Bull’s Strawberry Apricot. Let’s try it.
When you take a sip, the tangy flavor of apricot and something like raspberry spreads, followed by the sweet strawberry candy aroma that envelops it.
There’s no attempt to replicate the savory or rich aroma of strawberry fruit. It’s more of a sweet strawberry candy flavor.
Therefore, it lacks the typical strawberry tartness and seems to express it through fragrance alone, with a strong strawberry candy scent added to the apricot flavor. The sweet, enveloping strawberry candy scent enhances the apricot's deliciousness, allowing you to enjoy the best parts of both flavors.
As a clone product intended to rival Red Bull’s Strawberry Apricot flavor, it’s created with enough drinkability to compete well.
For those who aren’t particularly loyal to energy drink brands like Red Bull, and are looking for the same taste and ingredients at about half the price, the S BUDGET ENERGY DRINK Marille Erdbeere is a great option.
Energy Ingredients in S BUDGET ENERGY DRINK Marille Erdbeere
It contains 80mg of caffeine and 1000mg of taurine. There are no additional energy ingredients.
Design of S BUDGET ENERGY DRINK Marille Erdbeere
With orange as the main color, the design features a mysterious swirling pink pattern. With this design and the German language on the packaging, it’s hard for foreigners to guess what the flavor might be.
In previous S BUDGET ENERGY DRINK series releases, there were illustrations of fruits that made it easy to imagine the flavor. However, since around 2022, we’ve seen more of these psychedelic-style, mysterious designs.
While illustrations of flavors might be clearer for supermarket private-label products, I wonder if there’s a specific reason for this shift in design.
