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 GHOST ENERGY SOUR WATERMELON

Upon opening the can, a raw, melon-like scent fills the air. It's not just a simple melon smell, but there's something more to it, almost like a shampoo-like drink fragrance. I wonder what the flavor will be like... Let's give it a try.
Flavor of GHOST ENERGY WARHEADS SOUR WATERMELON
As I take a sip, the strong sourness of a sour apple-like flavor spreads across my mouth. It’s no surprise, given that it’s a collaboration with WARHEADS, known for its strong sourness.

Now, as for the flavor itself, the watermelon taste... it’s rather subtle. Even though it’s labeled as "SOUR WATERMELON," it’s more sour than anything else, and I’m struggling to recognize the watermelon flavor.

Moreover, there’s an odd, distinct taste that’s hard to describe, something artificial—not like food or drink. This is probably the flavor I sensed from the shampoo-like scent earlier.

It’s probably best to consider this energy drink as a completely different entity from the watermelon-flavored drinks released in the past.

Energy Ingredients of GHOST ENERGY SOUR WATERMELON

It contains 200mg of caffeine, 1000mg of Carnipure's fat-burning ingredient L-carnitine, 1000mg of taurine, 150mg of α-GPC, a precursor of choline that improves cognitive function, 100mg of NeuroFactor extracted from coffee, and 25mg of AstraGin, a combination of Safflower and Panax Ginseng that helps improve amino acid absorption.

You may not be familiar with some of the names toward the end, but these are patented ingredients developed by combining existing substances. Since 2020, many energy drinks have used these patented ingredients to stand out, and GHOST ENERGY is one of those examples.

The GHOST ENERGY series uses label wrapping instead of direct printing on the cans. A common feature of overseas wrapping is that it’s often misaligned with the can, giving it a lower quality appearance.

The GHOST ENERGY logo is embossed, with a glossy black outline that stands out. The uniqueness of this logo and character’s cuteness is largely due to the glossy embossed effect.

The background pattern printed on the can is also embossed. The contrast between the matte background and the shiny pattern is quite intricate, and each flavor has some distinct design elements that you’ll want to check out when you hold the can.

On the back of the can, the energy ingredients and effects of GHOST ENERGY are displayed with embossed icons. The use of stylish illustrations and fonts ensures there is no cheap or tacky feel to it.
