Bloom Sparkling Energy Gets a Pear Scare... But Without Oligonol

Bloom Nutrition just added Bloom Sparkling Energy Pear Scare to its lineup, a limited-edition flavor built around a spiced pear profile for the fall season. The can carries the same zero-sugar, 10-calorie profile that's defined the line since launch, along with the 180mg caffeine dose that's made Bloom's Sparkling Energy one of the more talked-about better-for-you Ennies in the category.

Bloom Sparkling Energy is the brand's crossover from greens and supplements into ready-to-drink energy, built on natural caffeine, L-theanine, and gut-focused ingredients like prebiotic fiber and apple cider vinegar. We've covered the full formula in Bevlab's Bloom Sparkling Energy product breakdown, and Pear Scare largely follows the same blueprint, with a couple of label differences worth flagging below -- no Oligonol on this one!

Pear Scare: A Seasonal Spiced-Pear Twist

Packaging imagery shows Pear Scare leaning into a fall-forward look, pictured alongside Crisp Apple in some product photography, which suggests Bloom is treating the two as a companion pairing for the season. The can keeps the same slim 12 fl oz (355mL) format used across the rest of the Sparkling Energy lineup.

The name plays on the season, and the flavor direction points toward a sweet pear base with warming spice notes, in line with the kind of fruit-and-spice pairing that shows up across the beverage category this time of year. We don't have independent tasting notes to confirm the exact flavor balance, so treat the spice angle as a directional read rather than a confirmed profile.

Quick Formula Check

Pear Scare's ingredient label lines up closely with the core Sparkling Energy formula covered in our full product breakdown, with one fiber-source swap and one notable omission worth flagging.

• Natural caffeine (from green coffee bean extract) (180mg) - the same dose used across Bloom's Sparkling Energy lineup. It's a mid-range dose that sits at the lower end of the range most research ties to real cognitive and mood benefits, enough for a genuine lift without going overboard.
• Taurine - listed on the label, though the exact amount isn't disclosed. Taurine is a staple amino acid in the energy drink category tied to muscle function and cardiovascular support.
• L-theanine - also listed without a disclosed dose. Paired with caffeine, theanine tends to smooth out the jittery edge and support steadier focus.
• Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) root extract - included as in the core formula, without a listed dose. Ginseng's best evidence centers on working memory and mental fatigue when standardized extracts hit meaningful doses.
• Apple cider vinegar - a Bloom brand signature ingredient carried over from the core formula, functioning here more as a positioning ingredient than a heavily dosed functional one.
• PreticX (xylooligosaccharides / XOS) - the prebiotic fiber source on the Pear Scare label. This is a different fiber ingredient than the SunFiber used in some other Bloom Sparkling Energy flavors, though it serves the same basic role of feeding gut bacteria.
• Vitamins - the label lists niacin (8mg, 50% DV), vitamin B6 (1.7mg, 100% DV), and vitamin B12 (2.4mcg, 100% DV), the same standard B-vitamin support seen across the line.

• Other ingredients - carbonated water, citric acid, natural flavors, sucralose, and sodium benzoate round out the label, handling carbonation, tartness, sweetness, and shelf stability.

One thing worth flagging for anyone who's read our full Bloom Sparkling Energy breakdown: Oligonol, the patented lychee and green tea polyphenol featured in that formula, doesn't appear on the Pear Scare ingredient label. If that ingredient is part of why you reach for Bloom's Sparkling Energy, Pear Scare isn't the flavor carrying it.

How Pear Scare Fits the Lineup

Pear Scare joins Bloom's Sparkling Energy line as a seasonal addition alongside the brand's permanent flavor roster. The imagery pairing it with Crisp Apple points to the two being framed as a fall set, though the core caffeine and functional-ingredient positioning stays consistent across every can in the lineup.
