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 TIGER CLASSIC
Upon opening, a sweet and sour aroma bursts out, representing a classic flavor that's immediately recognizable. It's a straightforward, classic scent with no hints of floral or chemical notes—just a traditional, familiar fragrance. Let's give it a taste.

The taste brings a refreshing tartness that stands out, with a sweetness that envelops it, reminiscent of Red Bull's classic flavor.
The aftertaste is subtly sweet and tangy, lingering just enough to leave a fresh, clean impression. It's refreshing and has a solid body without being overly heavy or syrupy. The drink feels satisfying, yet not overly persistent, which is quite pleasant.
That being said, if you were to drink it without knowing the brand, it would be difficult to identify TIGER CLASSIC, as it doesn't have any particularly distinctive characteristics when compared to others like Red Bull.
European energy drink brands tend to favor flavors that have broad appeal, making it hard to link a specific taste to a brand if you try several different ones.
Whether you view this flavor as lacking character or as a reliable, no-fail energy drink flavor is up to you. However, when considering taste, aroma, and mouthfeel together, TIGER CLASSIC stands out with a high level of completion. If you're looking for a classic energy drink flavor, TIGER CLASSIC is a safe bet.
By the way, if you compare prices in convenience stores, TIGER CLASSIC costs 3.99 PLN for the same size, while Red Bull is priced at 6.20 PLN—quite a bargain!
TIGER CLASSIC from Slovakia

This is a special collaboration can of TIGER CLASSIC I bought during my trip to Slovakia in July 2024. It's the perfect flavor for drinking over ice on a hot summer day in Europe—delicious!
TIGER CLASSIC from the Czech Republic

This is a special design of TIGER CLASSIC inspired by the Paris Olympics, purchased during my trip to the Czech Republic in July 2024. Unlike in Poland, where it's sold as "TIGER CLASSIC," in the Czech Republic it's branded as "TIGER ORIGINAL."
Energy Ingredients of TIGER CLASSIC

TIGER CLASSIC contains 80mg of caffeine and 1000mg of taurine. The energy ingredients are in line with other standard energy drinks like Red Bull.
Design of TIGER CLASSIC

The design features a dark blue color with a black tiger. The front and back of the can display the brand name and flavor name in a simple style—this is the classic design style of the TIGER series.
It maintains that classic, "cool" vibe reminiscent of older energy drinks, which still appeals today. This design is used for the regular flavors, while limited edition flavors often feature more creative designs, keeping the iconic tiger logo.

The tab used here is unique to TIGER CLASSIC, with all other flavors featuring this "T-tab."
While the design isn't particularly intricate, many promotional collaboration cans have been released based on this base design and color scheme.

During one trip to Poland, I was able to find two different promotional collaboration cans—proof that the TIGER series is one of the most popular and fast-growing energy drink brands in Poland. They release new flavors at such a rapid pace that it's hard to keep track of how many different options they have each year, which is rare on a global scale.
This particular TIGER CLASSIC is undoubtedly a flavor that everyone can enjoy, offering a perfect example of the brand’s approach to flavor development. If you're curious, be sure to check out my reviews of other TIGER flavors. And when you visit Poland, be prepared to come back with a suitcase full of TIGER flavors, as they have an extensive range of options available!
