The Natural flavor from the Russian local energy drink brand, S.O.V.A. Personally, I quite enjoy products labeled as "natural," so I was excited to see what kind of flavor it would offer. When I opened it, however...

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.

Strongly Tangy Chemical Flavor

When poured into a glass, it has a calm yellow color typical of energy drinks. The scent isn't particularly unique, just a classic energy drink smell. "What could 'Natural' really taste like!?" I wondered.

Upon tasting, I found a strong, tangy chemical flavor. The aftertaste and scent linger just enough, with the chemical taste not being overwhelming. The strong carbonation, acidity, and chemical flavor all come together nicely, creating a sharp and clean chemical taste.

While it doesn't have the same intense chemical flavor as Rockstar, it's definitely in the same flavor category. It tastes more chemical than natural. If you enjoy chemical flavors, this will be right up your alley.

Looking at the ingredients, there's nothing particularly natural about it. It's a bit abstract, but if you were hoping for a natural flavor, you might be disappointed by the ordinary chemical taste.

Energy Ingredients of S.O.V.A. NATURAL

It contains 150mg of caffeine and 1000mg of taurine. When it comes to organic energy drinks, the ingredients are typically very simple and minimal, but S.O.V.A. NATURAL seems to follow the same formula as other products. I couldn't figure out what exactly is "natural" about it from the ingredients list.

Design of S.O.V.A. NATURAL

The design features a surreal, large owl on a vibrant turquoise blue background. The overall aesthetic, including the font, feels unlike a typical energy drink and more like a colorful, pop-art style beer from abroad.
