Mountain Dew Voltage Review:
I know what you are thinking, why is Mountain Dew Voltage being reviewed on a site dedicated to Energy Drinks? Well some would argue that Mountain Dew is somewhat the original energy drink as it is one of the highest caffeinated and most popular mass produced carbonated beverages on the market. Another reason is that Mountain Dew Voltage ran a very interesting marketing promotion called DEWmocracy where the public got to vote for the new Dew (taste, name and color). Apparently over 250,000 people participated, making Mountain Dew Voltage an ideal candidate for a review. So enough fluff, let's see if the general public knows how to make a drink by reviewing the 20 Ounce Voltage.
Mountain Dew Voltage Review: Taste
So 250,000 people voted to make the color a light/nuclear blue so I was originally thinking a purely berry flavor. However, I was slightly mistaken as there are still elements of the original Citrus flavoring from Mountain Dew present. The citrus coupled with a Raspberry flavor made for a somewhat sweeter than average Dew followed up by a jolt of Ginseng. But overall the distinct berry flavor wins out and the sweet taste is reminiscent of a Jolly Rancher candy. I would have to say that 250,000 or so people made a pretty decent flavor, although it was a tad sweet for me. Taste Rating - 8.5
Mountain Dew Voltage Review: Kick
The energy ingredients seem to be almost identical to your normal everyday Dew. In a 20 ounce bottle you get about 90 milligrams of caffeine (more than Red Bull) as well as some Ginseng. So basically it is the original formula with a little added ginseng. Now it doesn't compare to a lot of today's energy drinks, but Voltage still packs 90 milligrams of caffeine, which is very similar to Red Bull (minus the taurine, b-vitamins)... so the kick is still noteworthy, especially when compared on price. Kick Rating - 7.0
Mountain Dew Voltage Review: Final Judgment
The promotion run by Dew seemed to be fairly popular and 250,000 people collectively made a pretty good new Dew. Again, not going to be my everyday drink, as I am used to a bit more caffeine, but for those that need a little pick me up, a refreshing drink, or already enjoy Dew, then I suggest you give it a try. I have seen the new flavor in stores for $1.29 so that's not a bad deal either. Final Judgment - 7.5

That's fucking bullshit. The flavor is a 10. It's got a rush of subtley sweet and intense sour at the same time. Oh!, and too sweet? REALLY! Look at the Nutrition Facts, it has the same amount of sugar as regulat dew. This is one of my favs and I really think you got it wrong here...
yea I agree, I buy Voltage instead of regular dew now. I like it a lot more, and it dosen't give me a stomache ache in the morning if I have it. I's much less acidic, which is good.
anonymous says i and others prefer this over regular mountain poo.
(but regular is also good)
I never liked regular dew and I love this stuff. esp. with a ton of VODKA added. - *

I think deep down you really enjoy Voltage. If not, oh well its your own taste and opinion. I got addicted to Voltage ever since I bought my first 20 oz bottle. Yea it maybe as "too sweet" as you say, but honestly I think Code Red, and LiveWire are even more sweeter.
Voltage maybe too sweet for you but the sour citrus flavor makes up for it.
Its like drinking Squirt with Raspberry Jolly Ranchers. I give Voltage a freaking 12!!!
I agree with the Author being that he reviews ENERGY drinks..though in the taste i do sense a slight sweet/sour combination and the sweet overpowers the sour so that it doesn't end up sour very interesting taste.
this stuff is great
I agree with you Anonymous, Voltage is one of the best i had in a long time & now i'm haveing problumes finding it in stores. I was under the inpresion that it was here to stay!
