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 ROCKSTAR PUNCHED FLAMING CRANBERRY

Upon opening, a sweet and tangy cranberry and fruit punch aroma fills the air. When you bring it closer to your nose, there’s a sharp, spice-like scent that tingles—like ginger, but it turns out there’s chili powder in the mix.

When you take a sip, the cranberry, acerola, and fruit punch flavors give a clear, smooth taste, followed by a tingling sensation from the chili powder.

Even after drinking, there’s a lingering sensation in your throat, and depending on how you perceive this as an accent, the review of FLAMING CRANBERRY can be split in two.

For someone sensitive to tastes and smells, it’s easy to describe the flavors in energy drink reviews. However, with my sensitivity to spice, I can immediately feel even the slightest amount of heat. Personally, I'm unsure if the chili’s bite was really necessary.

The cranberry flavor itself is well done with a smooth, fruity taste and a subtle fruit punch aroma and aftertaste, with no off-putting notes. But on its own, it may not feel like a winter-specific flavor.
