Blue Version?
I do know Pink Bull is meant to provide you wings, however I believe Pink Bull Japan was a special type of excessive when it named this vitality drink. You see, this Pink Bull Ocean Blast is lychee flavored, and nothing concerning the fruit brings blue to thoughts.
In the event you’re unfamiliar with it, it appears like a strawberry lined with outies, and below that pink pores and skin is a white, candy, and barely floral flesh that I’ll rip off with abandon as a result of it’s scrumptious. Below the flesh is a darkish brown seed that annoys me once they’re too massive as a result of that just about all the time means much less of that succulent fruit flesh.
Be aware that of all the colours I discussed within the earlier paragraph, I didn’t point out blue. So it’s a bit complicated that that is the Blue Version. Look, I get it. The blue pertains to the Ocean Blast identify. However Pink Bull has a protracted historical past of pairing no matter Version shade with a fruit that’s truly that shade. Right here within the US, Watermelon is the Pink Version, Tropical is the Yellow Version, and Blueberry is the Blue Version. In Japan, the Purple Version is grape, the Ruby Version is mangosteen, and the White Version is white peach.
Nicely, a minimum of the colour of the beverage itself jogs my memory of what’s below a lychee’s pores and skin.
Odd naming apart, this Pink Bull has flown as much as the highest of my favourite Pink Bull taste checklist. Though, I is likely to be a bit bias as a result of lychee is my favourite fruit in the entire huge world. Opening the can introduced out an aroma that’s much like what rises from a freshly peeled lychee. Its taste wavers between a candy lychee and a barely tart overripe one. I suppose it’s exhausting to totally disguise the flavors of the underlying Pink Bull. The aftertaste that lingers in my mouth is like what flavors stay in my mouth after consuming lychee. From starting to finish, it’s a beautiful expertise, in the event you’re into the fruit as a lot as I’m.
Whereas I like this taste, it is likely to be awhile earlier than I’m capable of drink it once more because it’s solely obtainable in Japan for the time being. In the event you occur to see it at a Japanese grocer within the US, I’d undoubtedly advocate selecting it up. If you wish to purchase it from one of many many on-line Japanese snack outlets based mostly in Japan, count on to pay so much for fast delivery or to attend so much in the event you determine to get it shipped by way of the most cost effective choice (I waited two months for mine, and I’m nearer to Japan than 99 % of y’all).
However I would like extra folks to do that and I need to drink it often. So that is my plea to the powers that be to deliver a lychee-flavored Pink Bull to the States. I don’t care what shade or season Version it turns into. Even when it’s the Brown Version, simply make it occur.
