Combination of caffeine and taurine I suspect. The taurine is even more bitter than the caffeine.
Red Bull was invented by a guy who did business in Vietnam. Inspired by Krating Daeng, a Thai energy drink used by Thai truckers and kick boxers, he came up with Red Bull as a way to deal with the jet lag. But the first versions tasted horrible, way worse than what it is now. It took another 2 years to come up with Red Bull's awful flavor so it could at least be sold.
And yeah, although Northerners tastes way better, it is a much different product, one I simply didn't tolerate well. For months, I thought the Elyxr tastes god awful. But over time, i just got used to it. Wouldn't say I exactly savor the taste now, but it is so familiar, I hardly notice.
