Uncarbonated Monster Rehab Lemonade Tea, or rather, Lemonade Tea! I tried the pre-release Monster Rehab Lemonade Tea!

The energy drink war is nowadays. Energy drinks are a word, but they come in many different flavors.
Some are collaborations with anime and video games, new flavors are released seasonally, some are extremely high in caffeine, some are sweet, and some are strong....
One of the most well-known energy drink brands, Monster Energy, will be releasing a new flavor, Monster Rehab Lemonade Tea, on Tuesday, October 25, 2022!
Thankfully, we have received a bottle of the new "Monster Rehab Lemonade Tea" before it goes on sale, and we will be reviewing it!

This is the new "Monster Rehab Lemonade Tea.
The familiar Monster logo can be seen, but the most noteworthy part is the bottom of the package.
It is labeled "Tea Drink/Energy Drink/3% Fruit Juice, " but there is no word "carbonated.
That's right! Monster Rehab Lemonade Tea is a non-carbonated energy drink, just like the "Super Fuel" series of sports energy drinks that appear frequently on Saiga NAK!

Monster Rehab" is a non-carbonated energy drink that was named after the world's largest pool party "Rehab Party" held at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las M. Bissons, USA.
The product is the first Monster Energy in Japan to be blended with a tea and fruit base and a unique blend of energies, and we look forward to its future development.

Now let's pour it into a glass!
As the name "lemonade tea" suggests, the color of the liquid is a foxy color, not unlike an energy drink.
The crisp aroma of lemon spreads.
The taste is mild and the lemonade is sweet, but soon a strong sourness comes in.
The aftertaste is pleasant, with a hint of lemonade sweetness.
Although it is non-carbonated, the flavor of lemonade and its refreshing taste will make you gobble it up.

It does not have any of the medicinal taste of energy drinks, so even those who do not like that taste or carbonation can drink it without any concern.
Some of the Saiga NAK editorial staff said it tastes like powdered lemon tea from the good old days or a certain lemon tea from Hong Kong.
Each flavor has its own unique taste that only those who have tried it can understand.
