Recently I tried the two new flavors of Mountain Dew themed on the World of Warcraft. Now, unlike some other people who write and post online, I’m not a pro and I didn’t get any Dew comped to me. Instead I had to trudge out and buy it myself. I got the Alliance Dew (the blue one, it’s Dew with Wild Fruit flavor) at 7-11 and the red Horde (Dew with Cherry Citrus flavor) at Walgreens. Not sure why each store only had one, but I’m OK with it since they are only a block or so apart from where I work.
Once I saw that brilliant blue color, I decided to try the Alliance Dew first. I cracked into this wild fruit dew and was impressed. It had a mild fruit flavor that overlaid the normal Dew taste. I found this to be a refreshing drink – not too heavy or sugary. The only drawback is the deep blue color – it can dye your insides. You can get the drift of where this is going – and how it comes out in the end.
The Horde Mountain Dew is red, a deeper red that Code Red Mountain Dew. I tried this flavor a day later so I had a fresh take on it compared to the Alliance blend. The Horde Dew is Cherry Citrus flavored and I found that mixture to be very enjoyable. It hit the tongue well and was more refreshing than Code Red. Though I like Code Red at times, it can be too sugary and sweet for my taste. I wouldn’t mind if the Pepsi people decided to replace Code Red with this flavor blend once the GameFuel flavors are off the shelves.
Overall, I was pleased with the taste of these two special Mountain Dew blends. I am planning to buy them again over the summer for as long as they are available to spice up work and summertime activities. Still, neither one of them is as good as Baja Blast Mountain Dew.
