Taste Great
Taste like I remember it used to taste like. I don’t know why they changed it in the first place. I will be ordering more in the future for nostalgia.

OG baby!
Honestly idk why they "stopped" making this flavor, aka "changed" it but just glad they "brought it back" lol idk if it's going to be a permanent thing (but it definitely should) IMHO the original flavor that started it all (in USA at least, Rockstar was THE FIRST energy drink in USA) was the best energy drink on the market.It went away and I'm not even going to lie, I converted to NoS energy drinks and then Monster. Keep this flavor (because it really is different than what the "now" "original" flavor is) and I'd be loyal to Rockstar again.The OG flavor just truly was where it was at.I ended up buying a pack of this and the original just to make sure over all these years the flavors weren't idk, "the same" and they are definitely different.Idk why they "changed" it.But just please keep this OG "throwback" version as a permanent and I'll be coming back to Rockstar for my normal energy drink. 5/5 all day!

Pulling a fast one again
Replacement is same junk.. cannot return item. No refund offered. I'm done. You lost a customer for life.TLDR: NOT OG but they do grow on you if you like a less sweet and more tart drink.After writing rockstar about their terrible new flavor masquerading as the original we all have loved these many years I received a link to this item on amazon. I was well pleased when my first order came in and was the original flavor with that perfect suck on your tongue zing! OG red tab cans with the pre cyberpunk graphics. I was too quick to drink it all down and decided to order more. That's where things fell flat. Literally.. This rockstar is bitter and flat. It doesn't taste anything like the original, nor like the gummy worm stuff they sell in stores. Or sold anyway. I haven't purchased one from a retail store since I bought out the few hundred og cans I could find after they changed the formula.I feel completely let down. How is it that rockstar cannot continue making a drink they made for over a decade? Why even send me to this sales page if they aren't going to keep their promise?I had an open mind when I saw the black tab. I thought maybe they really are back in production. Guess I thought wrong. Why do they keep changing the flavor? Is it a supply shortage? A materials price hike?The movie syrup got it all wrong. It's not about branding at all. It's about flavor. The only energy drink that hasn't failed me now is Red Bull. Guess thats why they cost so much. I tried, Rockstar... I tried. Thanks for the order before this one. It was great..*edit: While it may not be og, it's definitely not the puke they were pushing in stores. I could probably get used to drinking it if it wasn't 270 calories. Oh well. I needed to quit this stuff anyway.

Thank You!
All you have to do to wipe the taste out of your mouth (& out of your memory) of the new "original" flavor is to drink the "OG" flavor for a solid week. Then drink a new "original" again just to see how gross it is.Some say it dosent taste exactly like the old flavor. If you just take a quick swig after drinking the new original all this time, it's not gonna do it. Rockstar has always been an acquired taste..... and it's gonna take a minute or 2 to retrain your brain to what real Rockstar Energy bliss is....and this is it.Thank you Pepsi/Rockstar/Fritolay/whomever.....for giving us our flavor back. I am again loyal and grateful

Nostalgic Kick with Zero Sugar—Exactly What I Needed!
Nostalgic Kick with Zero Sugar—Exactly What I Needed!The Rockstar Throwback Edition: O.G. Sugar Free is everything I didn’t know I was missing! This flavor brings back the classic, original Rockstar vibe with that bold, slightly citrusy energy punch—without the sugar crash. I was a huge fan of the original formula years ago, and this is the perfect nod to the past with a healthier twist.With 16oz per can and 12 in a pack, it’s perfect for keeping me powered through long days at work, gym sessions, or late-night projects. I love that I get the full energy boost without the jittery aftermath or sugary guilt.It tastes smooth and nostalgic, has zero weird aftertaste (a rare win for sugar-free drinks), and keeps me laser-focused when I need it most. If you loved the O.G. Rockstar but want a cleaner, sugar-free version—this is it. Will definitely be keeping a pack stocked at all times!

This is it! The good stuff
Arrived in great condition and this is the flavor and well carbonated with a bite to the inner mouth I loved. I don’t hate the new version but this is far better. The new is to sweet with grape flavor and less carbonation. Why can’t they just keep making both kinds. Pepsi doesn’t put enough carbonation in any thing the put out or it gets flat fast. In my opinion the best with vodka too.
