Pepsi-Cola

Very sweet. Surprisingly bitter start with mostly classic Mountain Dew citrus predominant. Subsequent sips reveals the peach in the middle to usually long end. The flavors never quite combine and seem to be in opposition with each other most of the time. That said, it's not particularly bad either? Ok. Purchased at Tim …

Very sweet. Sharp pineapple start is quickly followed by a blue fruit middle before returning to a classic MTN Dew extended finish. Ok. Purchased at Tim and Tom's Speedy Market.

Very sweet. Fairly good artificial mango flavor explodes from the bottle when opened and is absolutely the most prominent flavor throughout. The very full fruit nearly eclipses the bright hint of lemon that arrives just before the start of the overly long classic Mountain Dew finish. Reasonably good for a short lived …

I was pretty disappointed that I wasn't able to acquire any of the 2022 version of this one. I haven't been paying as much attention to the industry the past few months and I was pretty surprised to see an entire end cap of bright yellow cases at one of the local grocery stores the other week so did not want to miss …

Very sweet. Artificial candied pineapple nearly from start to extremely long finish. Fairly mild acid. Ends with a touch more than a hint of the classic Mountain Dew finish. Ok. Purchased from Holiday Station #3841

Currently in limited release to Circle K and affiliated stores in North America. Very sweet. Possibly the best color for a soda I've ever seen. It's this really lovely jewel-toned blue shading just a bit into purple. Really gorgeous. Strong berry start establishes itself well, blooms nicely in the middle, and catches a …

Note: Before trying either of the Nitro Pepsi flavors it is worth reading through some notes on my other blog. Very sweet. Fantastic foam, not quite as great fluid. Classic sharp cola with a much softer bubble make for a decent soda, though for some reason the plain cola flavor comes across as a LOT more sweet than the …

Note: Before trying either of the Nitro Pepsi flavors it is worth reading through some notes on my other blog. Very sweet. Cola start has a just enough vanilla to be noticeable but isn't overpowered. The foam is absolutely the best part, consume as much of that as possible. It is delightfully creamy and has a lovely …

Very sweet. Starts with sharp lemon and pretty quickly gains nice raspberry. The sweetener blend appears fairly quickly afterward, seeping in slowly at first and eventually resolving to an ever present candy presence in the mouth. The main flavors fade fairly quickly in the finish, but the sweetener blend lingers. The …

Very sweet. More fruit than cola from start to finish. The mango sits somewhere in the uncanny valley: Nearly authentic, but artificial enough to be occasionally jarring. The cola is present if you search for it carefully, but overall is more like a lost opportunity for a much more interesting soda. Ok. Purchased from …

Very sweet. Fascinating nose. A waft smells like typical Mountain Dew while a sniff smells like gingerbread. The flavor has a similar dichotomy with a clear, and fairly decent, gingerbread cookie flavor followed with the classic Mountain Dew finish. Altogether somewhat unexpected, certainly an odd combination, and not …

Very sweet. Coconut aroma erupts from the bottle and permeates the entire experience, strongly reminding me of sunscreen in the 1980's. Somewhat sharp pineapple with an underlying bitterness starts firm but mellows quickly to a nearly buttery middle before transforming again to a more typical Mountain Dew finish, …

Very sweet. I've been waiting awhile to rate this one for various reasons but I think the very short version is: Tastes like Pepsi. Maybe a touch less bitter. Ok. Originally posted to Twitter.

Very sweet. Slight heat. Potpourri cinnamon blends well with kola tang. Balanced. Extended finish not entirely unwelcome. Ok. Originally posted to Twitter.

Very sweet. Really not sure what to say about this one. Definitely fruity. Definitely different. Good cola base. Ok Originally posted to Twitter.

Very sweet. Grapefruit essence does better than expected. Cola ends up being nice background note. Ok. Originally posted to Twitter.

Very sweet. Distinct cranberry tang over light non-specific citrus. Nice candy middle. Extended antiseptic finish. Ok. Originally posted to Twitter.

Quite sweet. Mellow kola interlaced with somnolent cinnamon. Herbal tones in the finish. Recommended. Originally posted to Twitter.

Very sweet. Some fire. String aromatic ginger on sweet cola base. Slightly too sweet. Ok. Originally posted to Twitter.

Very sweet. Strong citrus start. Slight industrial cleanser middle. Sticky finish. OK. Originally posted to Twitter.

Low to med sweet. Strong citrus flavor start, odd chemical middle, finishes ok. Clean. Pass. Originally posted to Twitter.
