Unlike the returning Horde Red which was a repeat of 2007's original Game Fuel, Mountain Dew Game Fuel Alliance Blue is a new flavor for the summer of 2009. Surprisingly not very berry-tasting, the muted flavor profile was actually a notable element that we liked. Unfortunately, it was hampered by an unpleasant syrupy aftertaste.

It's great to see the return of Mountain Dew Game Fuel, now expanded to 2 flavors. Horde Red is a flashback to 2007's original flavor, which did have a distinct cherry-ish taste, but was also quite syrupy. The real advantage of this drink is the 6.0 mg/oz of caffeine, far greater than you'd find in original Dew. If you want a buzz, this is your beverage!

We really liked Amp Energy with Green Tea. If you are a tea fan, then this is a drink to check out, combining the unique taste elements with the features of an energy drink. The sweetness of the general Amp Energy flavor counteracted the sometimes bitter experience you get from a tea, but the overall flavor profile blended with with a citrus hint. Thumbs up!

Amp Energy Tradin' Paint is an interesting mixture of orange, lime, and berry flavors that seamlessly blend together, only slightly hinting at a primary berry-tasting base despite its yellow color. It's refreshing and does provide a kick of caffeine. Fan of NASCAR or not, it's a worthy limited-edition to join the Amp Energy lineup. You may want to "trade paint" if you get the chance!

Mountain Dew Throwback produces a very flavorful citrus experience with a clean, fresh taste. That taste may be different from what you are used to with high fructose corn syrup-sweetened Dew, but it's still a solid eye-opener. It's not often you can find a sugar-sweetened citrus soft drink, so savor this Throwback entry while it's available for a limited time. If you don't, you'll regret it!
