This is the WATERMELON LIME from the newly revamped Zero Sugar series, which was released in 2022. Prior to 2022, it was part of the low-calorie series, but after the redesign, it has become a more distinct Zero Sugar product, and the color has also been updated.

Author: Energy Drink-kun
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 VENOM ENERGY ZERO SUGAR WATERMELON LIME
When pouring it into a glass, the color is a melon soda-like green, different from the watermelon flavor I had imagined. The aroma isn’t too grassy but gives off a sweet watermelon bar-like scent, accompanied by a unique artificial note that feels a bit strong... I believe this is likely attempting to replicate a grassy note.
Upon tasting, it has a sweet watermelon candy flavor with a sharp tang, which I assume is the lime flavor.
The distinctive grassy taste typical of watermelon flavors is replaced with an artificial scent, which might feel a bit off. Whether you can tolerate this scent will likely determine whether people enjoy it or not.
There is no lingering taste of artificial sweeteners, and the mellow sweetness and acidity create a flavor that seems almost impossible for a Zero Sugar drink. The high level of completion, characteristic of the VENOM ENERGY series, is evident.
If only the scent could be improved, I personally think this could be the best Zero Sugar watermelon flavor.
Old vs. New Watermelon Lime Comparison
The old version of Watermelon Lime was still available in the U.S., so I compared the old low-calorie version with the new Zero Sugar version. Both the old low-calorie series and the new Zero Sugar series contain zero sugar and 10kcal.
To summarize, there is almost no difference in taste or aroma. While other VENOM Zero Sugar series had flavor revisions during the redesign, the Watermelon Lime flavor remained unchanged, only the packaging was updated. This might suggest that it was already a well-received and well-balanced flavor.
Energy Ingredients of VENOM ENERGY ZERO SUGAR WATERMELON LIME

Design of VENOM ENERGY ZERO SUGAR WATERMELON LIME
Previously, the design featured a combination of pink and lime green, but with the 2022 redesign, the front is now entirely lime green.
With just lime green, it leans more toward lime than watermelon, making it hard to imagine a watermelon flavor.
On the back, the nutritional information label uses a red color reminiscent of watermelon flesh, which hints at the watermelon flavor being considered.
The 2022 redesign saw the color swap between WATERMELON LIME and CITRUS. Below, I’ve compared the new and old designs side by side.
CITRUS, which was lime green, is now yellow, and WATERMELON LIME, which used to be lime green and pink, is now just lime green. If you're familiar with the previous design, the color swap might be a bit confusing.
