Since 2019, it’s been a refreshing bit of good clean fun to talk with your soda drinkin’ buddies and speculate about what the unique flavor or flavor(s) might be. ![]() Mtn Dew VooDew III (2021 edition) has hit store shelves and is a brand-new mystery flavor that will no doubt keep the public guessing on the taste profile until the big reveal around Halloween. Still, despite all that consumerist bile, Mtn Dew hasn’t ruined everything quite yet, and as August turns to September, we can take in another chapter of one their finest new traditions. Jesus, I might even have to go sit down at an Applebee’s to get a new Dew flavor, which is a new brand of punishment I didn’t think they were capable of. Seven new flavors out of ten are released either to pathetically limited online sale, or prohibitively specific exclusives to stores or restaurants. There’s less concern with providing product to consumers than to make a WILD AND CRAZY FLAVOR OMG and let the reactionary normie internet community do the rest of the work for dirt cheap publicity. eBay was promptly flooded with new product listings of single cans sodas going for over double their face value, and 6 packs reaching into the three figures. Within minutes of coming online for sale, the website slowed to a crawl and the limited release product was sold out. This very week Mtn Dew released another one of their circus flavors, Flamin’ Hot, to online sale exclusively on their own internet store. All that said, far too much of what Mtn Dew has been up to caters only to the scalpers, or to the mind-bogglingly lucky. DewSA came back for the Olympics, and a couple of wide release flavors have turned heads with some fresh ideas. Sure, the mainstay sodas are still great, and the new flavors that they keep grinding out are impressive. Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you for the next Dew Review.Let’s not beat around the bush: 2021 has been a bad year for Mtn Dew. Worth going to B-dubs for? I guess that depends on how much you like wings (and you know I love wings). Maybe a touch of lime is helping with that earthiness as well. So, yeah, kind of a blue raspberry thing going on, that then turns more into the blackberry that I was expecting. Subsequent sips don’t have quite as drastic a change in flavor associated with them, but it’s still there. There’s a bit more tart-ness and I’ve found that blackberries have just a bit more earthiness to them in terms of flavor. The flavor almost entirely switches from being blue raspberry to being that blackberry. That’s when the blackberry really comes in. However, it takes an interesting turn after a second or so. That’s the dominant sort of flavor, with maybe a touch of citrus. Taking a sip, I still get mostly the blue raspberry flavor right up front. No, the fruits aren’t the same (especially since blue raspberries don’t actually exist in nature), but they’re not the world’s farthest apart, either. Considering that the flavor is Blackberry Citrus, I’m not too shocked to say that it smells like blue raspberry. Definitely not like when you pour from a just-opened can, but it’s not flat, either.Īs for scent, that’s “Blue raspberry” if I ever smelled it. ![]() I’m happy to say that the delivery cup didn’t have any ice in it, so it’s not going to be watered down. But, I am going to transfer this over to my traditional glass for the pour. ![]() Since the drink came in a take-out cup, there’s no can or bottle to look at. ![]() I’ve got some B-Dubs on order and it’s showing up any minute. I’ve been meaning to give their Dew, called Legendary, a try for a while, but I’ve just never managed to get out there. But there’s plenty of other restaurants that are also blessed with their own flavor. Sure, a lot of people know about Baja Blast being at Taco Bell. There are a lot of Mountain Dew flavors out there that are specific to particular locations.
