I’ve ordered this a couple times before because as we all know the NEW FLAVORS ARE TERRIBLE. In the past I actually received the OG flavor and was happy with the taste but sad it cost so much. This time I hit the re order button and I got a case of the NEW FLAVOR and I’m peeved. It’s super easy to tell the difference between the new and the OG. The new flavors all have 270 calories and the OG only has 250. On that note I have found a 2nd NEW flavor, seemingly grape, which is even WORSE than the 1st NEW flavor, if that’s even possible. I’m just hoping to g and s they aren’t going to stick with that NASTY GRAPE so they can swindle the 1st NEW flavor as “OG flavor”. I’m absolutely livid at this moment and terrified what the future may bring.

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.

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!

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.

We’re never getting the old Rockstar back, and being indignant is not going to change that. I’m glad that Pepsi continues to make this available. It’s not exactly the same as the old formula, but it is very close. I drank the original for years, and while I did notice a difference in flavor, it is not overbearing and nothing like the new “original” formula, which is honestly terrible. This has the same sour bite that I loved about the old Rockstar, and I have grown used to the slight difference in flavor. It’s good enough for me!

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.

As someone who worked 16 hours a day and lived on Rockstar, these are not the true OG recipe … the place I worked only had Rockstar in the vending machine when they first came out and they were ice cold and so good after a hard days work. I got used to the taste. The newer version is flatter, very sweet, misses the taurine or tang or something… it’s like a Coke vs a Pepsi or Sprite vs 7-Up (Pepsi is always sweeter for me). So when I saw the “OG” were back I was excited. But they do not bring back memories or nostalgia from the original so I do not think they are the same. I gave it a 4 because for the taste and the price versus say Redbull, you can’t beat Rockstar. I miss the version 1’s.

The sugar free OG still is the best option even if it’s not exactly the same. I wish they didn’t have the annual gap in inventory though. It’s correctly priced, correctly dosed (caffeine), and still delivers the same effects as the early rockstars. Best tasting easily even if the recipe has changed.

My favorite. They just don’t keep it in stock often enough and there’s never much of a discount. But it’s very similar to the original before Pepsi bought the company. Love it!!!

I would only give 5 stars if the product WAS AVAILABLE. It came back…for awhile but it seems those corporate executives who bought out the company don’t get it. Make this Product. People will buy it. It’s always sold out locally here in Sacramento.
There were 2 flavors of Rockstar… Original and Sugar Free. This: “Throwback Edition, aka Sugar Free OG Flavor”, has been more or less the exact same same as the Original Sugar Free. The replacement tastes like a Monster, which tastes like vomit.
No thank you. Why do you corporates have to ruin everything? You had a good business model. Legal Addiction with tolerable taste. Now I have to find something I can stomach. The new version isn’t that.
Bring this product Back!

UPDATE: Welp. Review moved from 5 stars to 1. They’ve changed the formula again, and the “OG” formula now tastes just like the rotten stuff at the gas stations. Dear PepsiCo: We want the OG *DRINK,* not the *CAN.* The new “OG” formula tastes horrible, and is NOT what it is advertised as being. Save your money. Try Nerd Focus or something else. This is horrific.
This stuff right here is rocket fuel for those of us who don’t want to drink melted gummy bears out of a can. It’s not too sweet, it’s delicious, low-calorie, and does what it says on the tin. Sadly, PepsiCo decided that that their new flavor is somehow superior, despite being so sweet it makes my family and I sick when we drink it.
This is the product that PepsiCo customer service linked us to when we called in to complain and to beg for the old flavor to come back, and after an email a few days ago, they said they’re working to get us some more.
Fingers crossed that this isn’t the end of the line! It’s just a pity that we’re getting wrecked on the price when we CAN get it. It’s nearly double the price I was able to find at my local grocery or convenience stores, but if that’s what I’ve got to pay to get the only flavor I can tolerate, so be it!

This is definitely one of my favorite classic energy drinks. It tastes pretty on point for what I remember, which, if you haven’t had it it’s kind of like a cough syrup which I know some people would think that that’s disgusting but for some reason, it’s a really great. I do like two that they’ve held pretty strong with the pricing and keeping it low.
