Relaxed Beverage Reviews by an Energy Drink Mania

Last update : April 10, 2025

Starting in 2001, I began drinking energy drinks in the United States and have reviewed over 1000 energy drink flavors from around the world. My collection of energy drinks, gathered from various countries, now exceeds 6000 types. I am a world-class energy drink enthusiast who casually reviews beverages that catch my interest as bonus content.

The world's first beverage version of Frisk, "Frisk Sparkling," has often been treated as a bit of a joke, with many people assuming it tastes bad. For some reason, it contains a high amount of GABA and has become a functional food product with health claims. As someone who has tried over 1,000 different energy drink flavors from around the world, how does the Energy Drink Mania enthusiast evaluate this one? Here’s a review where you can "taste it without drinking it" and check the answer after trying it yourself!

Boss Caffeine has been renewed as "Boss Caffeine Pro" on March 26, 2024. The two flavors, the traditional "White Cafe" and the new "Black," will be released, along with collaboration cans (4 types) featuring the popular game "Uma Musume Pretty Derby."

Released on August 15, 2023, with a lineup of summery lemonade drinks, I’ll be casually reviewing this one. With the name "Adult Peel Lemon," I’m expecting a rich, bittersweet, and refreshing flavor! What does it actually taste like, though? Having tasted many rich-flavored energy drinks from around the world, the Energy Drink Mania will now try the Adult Peel Lemon!

The Jack Daniel's and Cola cocktail, affectionately known as "Jack Coke," has been released as a product by Coca-Cola. It appears that this product, which had already been commercialized in North America, is now available in Japan as well. It is said that 40% of cocktails made with Jack Daniel's are mixed with Coca-Cola, so many of you may have tried this combination at least once. Now, with the official Coca-Cola version of "Jack Coke," I’m curious about the balance of flavors and how it tastes.

The 5th edition of Fanta's high-juice content premium line, "Fanta Premier Pear." This high-priced product comes in a small 380ml bottle, and after discovering a new gold mine, it has become a series. It seems to be selling quite well. The Fanta Premier series has often featured quite tasty products, and even though they are on the pricier side, many of them are worth the price. This pear flavor contains 16% fruit juice. Let's see how an energy drink enthusiast, who is accustomed to rich global flavors, feels about it in this relaxed review.

Released on October 18, 2022, Iemon's Kyoto Lemonade. Since Monster Energy's new product, "Rehab Lemonade Tea," is going to be released soon, I decided to give this a try. The name "Iemon Kyoto Lemonade" and the transparency of the bottle gave me a sense of anticipation even before I took a sip.

Review of Coca-Cola Soul Blast Flavor

Following Marshmello, the second installment of Coca-Cola CREATIONS series, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Soul Blast, is a collaboration with "BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War." It’s Zero Sugar and Zero Calories, which I’m personally really happy about. That being said, I tend to be a bit skeptical about cola-flavored Zero-Zero drinks, so I’m more curious about how the cola flavor is executed in this limited edition "Action Flavor." Rather than just wondering what it tastes like, I’m really keen to see how well they’ve nailed the cola flavor. This review is by Energy Drink Enthusiast, Energy-Doringu-kun, who has tried over 1000 energy drink flavors worldwide—he’ll give a "laid-back" review on Coca-Cola Soul Blast, without even tasting it.

Review of McCOL

McCOL, a drink from the company Ilhwa (Ilhwa One), which is linked to the former Unification Church, was once dubbed the "World's Worst Cola" in Japan. It originated in South Korea as a popular "Korean cola" and was imported to Japan. Currently, McCOL is rarely seen in Japan. However, in South Korea, it is still regularly sold in convenience stores, not only in 250ml cans but also in large-sized plastic bottles. Could it be that the claims of it being "disgusting" were exaggerated for public amusement...!? Is McCOL really as bad as its reputation? After reviewing over 1,000 energy drink flavors from around the world, Energy Drink Mania’s Energy-Drin-kun gives an honest review.

Fanta Mystery Blue

Energy Drink Maniac, who has reviewed energy drinks from around the world, takes a "relaxed" approach to reviewing beverages other than energy drinks. This time, it's "Fanta Mystery Blue." It's a product that offers the fun of drinking without knowing the flavor, as well as the enjoyment of guessing what it might be. The blue color is also interesting, as it plays with your visual perception.
