After the Mountain Dew, the flavor profile opens up a little and subdued mix of mango and pineapple flavors appear. The taste starts off like your average Mountain Dew - high carbonation with a distinct citrus blend. The mango is definitely the dominant note in the aroma, but the pineapple is also present, providing a sweet base for the nose, while the orange gives it all a nice citrusy twist. What surprises me about this drink is that all three of the flavors on the label are present in the aroma. After all, there are only 60 calories in the can and 14 grams of sugar. There are no trace coconut notes from the added coconut water.īe aware that there is an artificial sweetener flavor present all throughout and well into the aftertaste. The sweetness does build up over time and when you stop drinking, your mouth becomes dry and sticky. The kiwi doesn't come until the finish, but it lingers well into the aftertaste, which is on the sweeter side thanks to the overall sweet soda-like character of Mountain Dew. It starts off with a light and creamy strawberry note mixed with a bit of regular Mountain Dew, which gives the flavor a citrus boost. The taste is very similar but more watery than expected. The Strawberry Kiwi flavor comes with a pink/orange color and a very Mountain Dew sweet soda-like aroma with subtle hints of strawberries, kiwis and your standard Mountain Dew citrus twist. I recently started seeing the regular Mountain Dew Kickstart energy drinks for sale here, so it is only a matter of time before the slightly more "healthier" version comes over. These are not currently sold in Canada, but I think they might make their way across the border soon. I got a couple of each of the flavors for $1 from a WalMart near Buffalo. Because of the coconut water, the new Kickstart drinks had their name expanded by the addition of the words "Hydrating Boost".since you know, coconut water is supposed to hydrating. I guess the coconut craze is still going on. Mountain Dew just recently added a couple of new products to their Kickstart line-up which feature coconut water as one of the main ingredients.
