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.
Fruity and Easily Recognizable Classic Flavor
As you can tell by the color, it gives off a sweet and familiar scent typical of classic flavors.
Upon taking a sip, the sweet and tangy taste of a classic flavor comes through with no off-putting aftertaste, leaving a refreshing fruity note, reminiscent of white grape. It's easy to drink since the fruity flavor fades without lingering too much.
It has a balanced sweetness and tartness, with no unpleasant aftertaste, making it an excellent choice for regular Red Bull or Monster drinkers.
Energy Ingredients of XL Energy Drink
Contains 80mg of caffeine and 1000mg of taurine. No other energy ingredients are included, maintaining a straightforward ingredient profile.
Design of XL Energy Drink
The blue can features a dot pattern resembling rising carbonation bubbles, a common design element in the XL Energy series. While the design alone may not scream "energy drink," it starts to feel more like one as the series diversifies and becomes more colorful.
XL Energy Drink, available worldwide, saw this design discontinued in 2019 in favor of a simpler one. It's a shame...
