BLACK ENERGY EASY BOOST TROPIC

Posted on April 27, 2025 | Last updated June 5, 2025

This is a review of BLACK ENERGY EASY BOOST TROPIC, part of the BLACK ENERGY EASY series that was relaunched with updated packaging in December 2024.

This series originally debuted in June 2024 as a 3-flavor set under the name "BLACK ENERGY NO LIMITS." It was later rebranded as "BLACK ENERGY EASY BOOST," and now, with the same series name, it has returned with a completely refreshed design.

The reason for such frequent changes within a short period remains unclear... but the contents are absolutely top-notch. Let’s take a closer look in this detailed review.

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 BLACK ENERGY EASY BOOST TROPIC

When opened, a burst of tropical fruit aromas—peach, passion fruit, papaya, mango, and more—fills the air.

The EASY BOOST series is known for being zero sugar, yet I was genuinely surprised by how the scent evokes the image of a sugar-rich, fruit juice-filled tropical drink. Let's give it a try.

Flavor of BLACK ENERGY EASY BOOST TROPIC

As I take a sip, I notice a sweet and tangy base of orange and papaya, layered with the refreshing sweetness of peach, mango, and apple. This is followed by a mildly tart aftertaste of passion fruit.

The incredibly realistic recreation of juicy orange pulp stands out, enhancing the deliciousness of the other tropical fruits.

Despite being sugar-free, the fresh and light mouthfeel carries an impressive fruitiness that lingers on the palate. The sweet and sour finish is simply perfect, and the aroma that follows through the nose is excellent—completely free of artificial notes.

Yes, this flavor is sugar-free. With this taste and aroma, it could easily outperform many existing sugar-sweetened energy drinks.

Perhaps the secret to this exceptional flavor lies in its 20% apple juice content.

Among Polish top domestic brands like BLACK ENERGY and TIGER, there's a growing trend of using fruit juice instead of sugar. Even within that trend, BLACK ENERGY EASY BOOST TROPIC stands out as one of the best in terms of overall quality.

Energy Ingredients of BLACK ENERGY EASY BOOST TROPIC

Contains 70mg of caffeine.

The relatively low caffeine content is a result of measures taken to avoid falling under the new Polish regulation, which prohibits sales to those under 18 for beverages with high caffeine levels—a rule introduced in April 2024.

This is why all BLACK ENERGY products released after 2024 contain only 14mg of caffeine per 100ml.

Design of BLACK ENERGY EASY BOOST TROPIC

The matte black can features a large star in the flavor’s color, with the BLACK logo laid out horizontally—a rare departure from the vertical logo placement seen in previous BLACK ENERGY designs.

A large BLACK logo also appears on the side of the can, another clear break from the traditional style.

Design of BLACK ENERGY EASY BOOST TROPIC

I personally really like the bold design—extremely thick BLACK ENERGY font, no wasted space, and an impactful wide band that stretches across the can’s full surface.

New releases from 2024 now include a caffeine content icon.

This addition stems from the new regulation starting in April 2024 regarding the sale of caffeinated beverages to minors. Older products don’t have this icon, making this design a sign of the changing times.

Old Design of BLACK ENERGY EASY BOOST TROPIC

The version of BLACK ENERGY EASY BOOST TROPIC released in June 2024 is the one on the left with the blue design. It's hard to believe it's the same product given how different the impressions are. The only common element is the blue, which seems to represent the flavor.

Design of BLACK ENERGY EASY BOOST TROPIC

The old design features a vibrant blue can with a tropical fruit-inspired yellow BLACK logo. The series name, EASY BOOST, is printed near the top of the can.

Which design do you prefer? And which one do you think better represents the flavor image?

For the record, the contents are identical in both versions.

Design of BLACK ENERGY EASY BOOST TROPIC

BLACK as a brand isn’t particularly known for strong design elements, so neither version stands out dramatically. However, in terms of conveying a tropical island vibe through color, I feel the older version was more unique and appealing.
