Now we arrive to the review of Dew number two – Distortion (rhyming not intentional).  This Dew flavor is more simple to explain and recognize, even without checking the label for the key ingredient.

I almost passed over this one because it looks like a normal Mountain Dew. And quite honestly, I didn’t have high expectations when I noticed what the dominating flavor would be.  You wouldn’t think a lime flavor would go well with Dew.  To my surprise, I found this actually has a pleasant taste.

The flavor reminded me of Stewart’s Key Lime soda, or even a Brazilian lemonade (minus the alcohol).  It was almost difficult to think of what food would go best with this, but I decided upon seafood.  To test this, I requested to have fish on a subsequent night.  And after having my wife roll her eyes at me – confirmation that I am a nerd – I found my Dew instincts were correct.

So, to continue with my new rating system introduced last week, I give give this Dew a 1, out of 4, 12-packs.  Enjoy!

While at the grocery store last week, I was excited to see that, yet again, we are blessed with the appearance of three new Mountain Dew flavors.  As the biggest Mountain Dew fan I know, I feel it is my responsibility to give reviews of these new flavors, to let others know the worth of their consumption.

The first of these new flavors to be critiqued will be Mountain Dew Typhoon, “Punch of Tropical Dew”.  As the name suggests, this Mountain Dew flavor is chock-full of…you guessed it, typhoon!  What does a typhoon taste like you ask?  Well, to me, it seems to be a special blend of passion fruit, guava, a little pineapple, a hint of red 40 and yellow 5 (it would not taste like Mountain Dew without yellow 5).

And, may I suggest that this beverage goes very well with foods barbecued.  Sitting in the backyard, grillin’ up some burgers or chicken with a Mountain Dew Typhoon in hand, you will not be disappointed with the tropical goodness this drink will offer.

So, my way of concluding whether or not this really is a great flavor is by asking: “Would I buy a 12-pack of this stuff?  And if so, how many 12-packs will I stock up on?”  And my answer is: Yes, I would buy a 12-pack of this; and I would probably stock up on two 12-packs.  Let this start my new rating system giving this flavor a 2, out of 4, 12-packs.
