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 8,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of C4 ENERGY HAWAIIAN PUNCH Fruit Juicy Red

When I opened the can, a cherry-based fruit punch aroma immediately filled the air. However, the drink itself is clear and colorless. The fragrance makes me imagine a bright red liquid inside, which makes it even more enticing. Let’s take a sip and see how it tastes.
Flavor of C4 ENERGY HAWAIIAN PUNCH Fruit Juicy Red
The first taste reveals a light, sweet-and-sour fruit punch flavor that spreads across my palate. As expected of a zero-sugar fruit punch, the sweetness and richness are light, with a pleasant tang that lingers.

While there are zero-sugar fruit punch options with a stronger flavor, C4 ENERGY HAWAIIAN PUNCH Fruit Juicy Red has a relatively light drinking experience.

There’s no unpleasant artificial sweetness or chemical taste, just a straightforward and easy-to-drink fruit punch flavor.

That said, the inclusion of beta-alanine causes a tingling sensation in my face as I drink, which is a notable difference from regular Hawaiian Punch. This is not a typical fruit punch beverage but is intended to be consumed as a pre-workout drink.

Instead of enjoying the rich, sugary sweetness of regular fruit punch, this drink offers a light flavor that should appeal to a wide audience, though some may find it lacking. The strength of the flavor might vary depending on individual preferences.

It contains 200mg of caffeine, beta-alanine, and acetyl-L-tyrosine. The energy ingredients are similar to those found in the original C4 line.

As I drink it, I sometimes feel a tingling sensation on my face, which is due to the beta-alanine and is perfectly normal.
