Blu

Manufacturer's Brand Overview [Edit]

In 2007, BLU Drink International set out to create the next generation of energy drinks. They knew they must create a drink that could truly compete with RedBull’s branded taste, buzz, alcohol mixability and definitely price! Research and development began, and this question was asked to the consumers: What do you like/dislike about RedBull? The likes were: name brand and alcohol mixability; and the dislikes: caffeine crash, too carbonated, poor aftertaste, irritated stomach, jitters, excessive prices and poor customer service. With this knowledge and a team of drink experts, BLU Drink was born! Branded taste and mixability, combined with easier consumption dynamics made BLU an instant success! In just 3 years BLU had captured a significant market share in every region it was introduced. Over the past 3 years, BLU has enjoyed great success in the international market and is recognized as a premier energy drink throughout the world. It is widely accepted as the choice energy drink because of its great taste and absence of poor after taste. The last 18 months have been the most successful! Today, BLU is exported to 44 countries on 6 continents.

Lemon Lime

Product Type:Functional: Energy Drink: Regular; Container: 8.4 oz Can
BevNET Review: Of the three flavors of Blu Energy Drink, the Lemon Lime flavor is the only one that in any way feels like an original effort. However, its flavor (which appears to be a stock flavor) is pretty much on par with a lemon lime CSD, which might undermine its credibility as an energy drink. Furthermore, the bright green color of the liquid is a bit much -- a lighter shade or clear color would be preferred. Visually, we still aren’t overly fond of Blu and their Lemon Lime variety is no different. It feels dated and feels uninspired, while the execution of the design lacks something when it comes to cleanliness. Overall, this is a slightly below average energy drink offering.Reviewed on: 5/22/2012

Premium

Product Type:Functional: Energy Drink: Regular; Container: 8.4 oz Can
BevNET Review: Blu Premium Energy Drink is one of those energy drinks that uses the classic energy drink flavor that is found in countless other energy drinks on the market today. That said, it does not in any way seem worthy of being called “Premium” -- “value” is probably a more appropriate way to position and sell this product as it’s definitely not a step up from any of the established brands. We’d say the same for the packaging, with a design that feels like a dated approach to being chic or European. All in all, this is a product that we feel as though has its best chance if being sold at a deep discount. Otherwise, we do not see a place in the market for this product. Reviewed on: 5/22/2012

Sugar Free

Product Type:Functional: Energy Drink: Diet; Container: 8.4 oz Can
BevNET Review: Editor’s Note: Using a blend of aspartame and ace-k for its sweetener blend, Blu Sugar Free energy drink is a straight up clone of the “classic” energy drink formulation (at least from a flavor perspective). Otherwise, our issues with this drink are the same as those we had for their flagship flavor: it lacks original flavor and the design feels dated. Reviewed on: 5/22/2012
