This is V ENERGY BLING, a limited edition flavor released in June 2017. Can you guess what flavor it is based on the color, design, and product name?! I was able to buy it at a store right after its release during my trip to Sydney ((o(´∀｀)o))

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 V ENERGY BLING

V ENERGY BLING
When opened, a sweet strawberry and milk aroma fills the air. However, when poured into a glass, the color matches the can—gold. With this design and this scent, it feels a bit off Σ(´∀｀；)

When I took a sip, the sweet aroma of milky strawberry fills my senses, followed by a slightly artificial sweetness reminiscent of strawberry candy with a faint sourness. After a brief delay, a sweet milk flavor envelops the taste.

Reading the review, you might think it’s overly sweet, but surprisingly, it’s not heavy or lingering in the mouth. It’s a surprisingly smooth flavor that’s easy to drink.

Even with ice, the rich aroma and strawberry tartness keep the flavor mostly the same, making it quite satisfying to drink. I often enjoyed V ENERGY BLING with ice.

Despite the flashy can design, the flavor seems like it would appeal to a female audience. I really can’t figure out how far V Energy is willing to go with its themes (^_^;)

Design of V ENERGY BLING

V ENERGY BLING
As the name "BLING" suggests, the V logo has a special finish with a rough texture, along with a sparkling effect—something not seen in previous V Energy designs.

Even the small V logo on the back is done in the same rough, sparkling finish.

The promotion for V ENERGY BLING is also quite clear. In fact, this was a rare product that came in four different sizes, despite being a limited edition.
