Released in July 2022, the new zero-sugar series "Refresh" debuted with two flavors simultaneously. This time, it's Citrus Lemonade.

The flavor perfectly matches its name, offering a taste that goes beyond regular lemonade, providing a unique and refreshing experience.

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 V ENERGY REFRESH CITRUS LEMONADE

Upon opening, a burst of fresh, concentrated lemon aroma fills the air. If we’re talking about the scent, it gives off the impression of a strong carbonated drink made with fresh lemon juice, rather than a typical lemonade. Let’s take a sip and see how it tastes.

When you take a sip, the flavor is subtly sweet with a smooth lemon taste. The lemon acidity isn’t as strong as you might expect from the scent, and the lemony essence comes through more as a fragrance rather than a tangy punch.

While it doesn’t have the same level of sweetness or richness as lemonade, there’s a soft, mild sweetness that lingers evenly until the last sip.

This drink has a mild acidity, and the lemon juice aroma remains consistent throughout. Since there’s little variation in taste and a smooth aftertaste, I’d say “flat” is the best description for the overall flavor profile.

The design is simple, featuring a matte finish with a single yellow color representing the citrus flavor.

The V Energy Drink series has never before released an entire range of sugar-free products, but many of their limited sugar-free options have a smooth, matte texture. The newly launched "V ENERGY REFRESH" series with two flavors at once continues this trend.

This series is available in two sizes: 250ml and 500ml. With the series name "V ENERGY REFRESH," the two flavors were launched together, and if successful, the sugar-free products may expand into regular availability.

In 2022, the "Health Star Rating" was introduced to the V Energy Drink series in Australia and New Zealand.

The lower the star rating, the higher the potential for health risks, aiming to guide consumers in making informed choices. Since V ENERGY REFRESH CITRUS LEMONADE is sugar-free, it has a relatively high rating of 3.5 stars.

Until now, sugar-free energy drinks were rare in Australia, but the introduction of the "Health Star Rating" will make it much clearer which products are less healthy, so I believe we’ll see more sugar-free energy drinks in the future.
