New Red Bull Sea Blue Sugarfree: Our Honest Review

Red Bull doesn’t know how to slow down. It’s almost like the Red Bull flavor scientists are hooked up to a never-ending supply of their flagship product. At the same time Red Bull was releasing the new super-tart Pink Edition, they quietly released a sugarless variant of a fan-favorite flavor. Yes, Red Bull Sea Blue Edition is now available as a sugarfree Red Bull flavor. 

What does Red Bull Sea Blue Edition taste like?

I haven’t picked up a regular Red Bull Sea Blue Edition since it launched in 2023 as that year’s Summer Edition. That said, we know Red Bull Sea Blue Edition is “Juneberry” flavored per the description on the can. I put “Juneberry” in quotes because this fruit has so many names depending on your region/culture. Juneberry is also known as sarvisberry, saskatoon (the namesake for the Canadian city), chuckley pear, and the most interesting one: sugarplum.

This is a sugarplum-flavored Red Bull?

That’s right, this is a sugarplum-flavored Red Bull that didn’t start as a Winter Edition. That seems like a real missed opportunity. Sugarplum is definitely more seasonally appropriate than, say, Iced Vanilla Berry. Sure, sugarplum as we know it in the holiday carol context actually refers to a particular hard candy instead of this or any other fruit, but the public doesn’t know that! I only learned that in the process of writing this article; Red Bull totally could have gotten away with a Sugarplum (Juneberry) Winter Edition.

But, we’re here to talk about Red Bull Sea Blue Sugarfree Edition. Let’s get into it and find out how it stacks up to the full sugar version.

New Sugarfree Red Bull!

Pros: This sugarfree Red Bull flavor is so different from the other berry-based Red Bulls I’ve tried recently. Red Bull Sea Blue Sugarfree Edition is deeply sweet, juicy, and the exact opposite of the tart punch in the face that I received from the full-sugar Pink Edition. I’m not super familiar with the authentic juneberry/sugarplum/etc. flavor, but I know I like this energy drink. Red Bull’s sugarfree variants are reliably solid, and this new Red Bull flavor is no exception.

Cons: The more I drank from the can, the less I enjoyed this flavor. I did get myself the larger 12oz can rather than the classic 8.4oz size, so maybe I did this to myself. I still recommend picking this new Red Bull flavor up—but maybe not the largest version.

Where can I find this new Red Bull flavor for myself?

As of now, this should be available anywhere you can find a good Red Bull selection. That said, it’ll be easiest to find at Walmart. If you didn’t already know, Walmart reliably stocks new Red Bull variants a full month before any other store; there’s simply no better place to find a wide range of Red Bull flavors.
