Red Bull WINTER EDITION 2019 Holiday Spice
Released in 2019, the Winter Edition Holiday Spice was a winter limited edition product.

Originally, it was a global version of the Winter Edition that was first released in Austria in 2018. The taste is different from the original Austrian version, so I will review them separately.

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.

Despite being a cherry-flavored drink, the can is orange, and so is the contents. The original Austrian Winter Edition Rumtopf and this Canadian Holiday Spice both have flavors and colors that seem somewhat mismatched, creating a slight sense of inconsistency.

When you take a sip, the cherry flavor is refreshing and mild. It's not a rich, sweet, or sour cherry taste. You don't really get a strong sense of the sweetness, tartness, fruitiness, or fragrance of cherry, as everything is balanced and smooth, so you might not feel satisfied with just a 250ml can.

In Canada, alongside the 250ml, a 355ml size is also released, which is a much better quantity. Before you know it, the 355ml is gone... (^_^;)

The flavor is described as cherry and spice, and it differs from the original Austrian Winter Edition. As for the spiced flavor in the Holiday Spice, it's quite subtle... You could say there’s a hint of cinnamon, but unless you're paying attention, you might not even notice it.

Contains 80mg of caffeine and 1000mg of taurine. As with other Red Bull products, it doesn’t contain any fruit juice. Since Canada has two official languages, English and French, the packaging is labeled in both languages.

In Canada, limited edition releases happen every year, and both the 250ml and 355ml sizes are released at the same time.

With a cherry flavor and an orange can, it still feels a bit off. The contents are also orange, which makes you think it's an orange-flavored drink (^_^;) I think the issue started with the original Austrian release using this color. If it had been a slightly more subdued orange, it might have looked more fitting for the winter season.
