Mountain Dew Voltage
Mountain Dew Voltage, part of the Dew Drinker Designed promotion, is “Dew charged with raspberry citrus flavor and ginseng.” I have to say that it brings me back to my college days and drinking jungle juice.
The raspberry citrus flavoring is very overpowering, or I should say the raspberry flavoring is overpowering. The citrus flavoring missed the boat or is completely overwhelmed by the raspberry; it also tastes flatter than normal Mountain Dew. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt and saying it must have been my bottle. Hopefully it was just the bottle I purchased; I love original Mountain Dew’s almost over-carbonated taste, and Mountain Dew Voltage left me wanting the original and not more Mountain Dew Voltage.
Another drawback to Mountain Dew Voltage is the lack of the Mountain Dew taste. Even Mountain Dew Code Red still has that very particular Mountain Dew tastes. This one just tastes like raspberry. I think Mountain Dew did really well creating the flavor profile of Code Red where you can close your eyes and know it’s a Mountain Dew drink. Here, there is no such connection.
This is one of three new Mountain Dews in part of this contest to find a new Dew. Hopefully the other two are better than this one! I will be planning on tasting the other two in the coming days and voting. You can vote at http://Dewmocracy.com!
