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 Refreshing and Sweet-Sour Passion Fruit

The contents are the usual yellow. I initially thought it would be purple when pouring it into the glass. By the way, most of the limited edition flavors in the V Energy series have a yellow color inside. It would have been nice if they adjusted the color to match the can color or the product's characteristics. Let's give it a try.

When I take a sip, I get a refreshing and fruity passion fruit flavor. It's sweet and sour, refreshing, and even though it doesn't contain fruit juice, the fresh taste of fruit is still enjoyable.

You can tell there's no juice, but right away, the flesh of the passion fruit comes to mind. It's an excellent passion fruit flavor.

There’s no chemical aftertaste, and the residue is very minimal. The rich taste of passion fruit spreads, and the fresh, fruity aroma passes gently through the nose. Among the limited edition flavors of the V Energy series, I think HALO 4 PURPLE PLASMA is especially delicious.

While I believe the collaboration with the game contributed to its high sales, the flavor itself was at a level that the regular V Energy drinks didn’t have, so there may have been people buying it just for the taste. Now I understand why it sold out in just five weeks. With this level of quality, it could have been made a regular flavor.

Energy Ingredients of V ENERGY HALO 4 PURPLE PLASMA

V ENERGY HALO 4 PURPLE PLASMA
Contains 155mg of caffeine, 1000mg of taurine, and 600mg of guarana.

The hand-written green comments on the ingredient list were common in limited edition V Energy drinks around 2012. However, the 600mg of guarana in HALO 4 PURPLE PLASMA is not particularly high compared to other products.

Design of V ENERGY HALO 4 PURPLE PLASMA

A purple HALO 4 collaboration design can. This purple color, which wasn’t used in previous V Energy drinks, stands out and gives off a strong presence. It has a classic, retro feel with a solid purple color.

By the way, when HALO 4 was released, the original V Energy drink also got a HALO 4 collaboration design. This design is amazing too!

Also, the HALO 4 collaboration products came in many sizes. The Purple Plasma was available in 250ml and 500ml, while the original HALO 4 came in 250ml, 500ml, 710ml, and even glass bottles, taking over the shelves.

Purple Plasma sold out in just five weeks. Indeed, the combination of this flavor and the collaboration with the game was the ultimate duo.

When it was released, there were campaigns offering limited edition Xbox consoles and trips to the US. The campaign was extravagant, and V Energy's consistent efforts to give back to the fans are a characteristic of the brand.
