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 GREEN APPLE LEMONADE

When you open the can, a sweet and sour apple scent along with a lemon tea-like aroma bursts out. Although the product name is "Lemonade," there’s a slight tea-like scent too. Let’s take a sip.

Upon tasting, the refreshing sourness of green apple flavor spreads across the mouth, and the lemonade flavor doesn’t overpower the apple taste, striking the right balance. The flavor fits the product name, "Green Apple & Lemonade," perfectly.

Even though it's a zero sugar version, there's no unpleasant or overly light aftertaste from artificial sweeteners. The refreshing sourness of the apple flavor expands in the mouth, giving it a satisfying taste. Compared to the sugared versions, it leaves less residual aftertaste, making it ideal for those who seek a refreshing and light experience in a zero-sugar drink.

The tea-like flavor noticed when opening the can doesn’t affect the taste, but you can still faintly sense a lemon tea-like aroma. It’s possible that the aroma from the flavoring to recreate green apple and lemonade gives off a slightly tea-like scent?

Design of V ENERGY REFRESH GREEN APPLE LEMONADE

The packaging design of V ENERGY’s sugar-free range features a matte texture with pastel colors and only the V logo.

There seems to be too much space between the V logo and the product name, giving it an unbalanced impression. The design doesn’t feature anything that suggests the flavor, with only the pastel green as the main color. It’s a bit of a missed opportunity, as the design isn’t particularly noteworthy.

It’s a simple, minimalistic design that either appeals to those who like simplicity or feels a bit too sparse for others. I’d recommend experiencing it firsthand in stores in Australia or New Zealand.
