In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of KICKSTART ULTRA ORIGINAL DEW

KICKSTART ULTRA ORIGINAL DEW
The lime green color of Mountain Dew, with a lime-like fruity scent.

When you take a sip, it has a very light Mountain Dew flavor. Since it's sugar-free, it lacks the heavy sweetness and goes down smoothly.

Compared to the original Mountain Dew, it lacks the fruity lime flavor and has a lighter taste. The taste of artificial sweeteners is strong, so there is no umami or richness.

This has the typical sugar-free taste, and its light sweetness and refreshing lightness might divide opinions.

Although it’s Mountain Dew flavored, both the taste and scent feel lacking, so many people likely wouldn’t buy a second one. The reason it was discontinued is kind of understandable now.

There are no solids or sediment. A very clean lime green (*´艸`*).
KICKSTART ULTRA ORIGINAL DEW
The sugar-containing KICKSTART ORIGINAL DEW had quite a few solid particles floating, so I was wondering if the KICKSTART ULTRA ORIGINAL DEW I reviewed this time would have any solid particles as well.

Energy Components of KICKSTART ULTRA ORIGINAL DEW

KICKSTART ULTRA ORIGINAL DEW
Contains 90mg of caffeine. Includes coconut water, orange juice, and fruit juice. I couldn’t really taste the coconut, but it might have been added to provide some thickness or weight, similar to a sugared version.

Design of KICKSTART ULTRA ORIGINAL DEW

KICKSTART ULTRA ORIGINAL DEW
True to its sugar-free nature, it combines silver as the main color with Mountain Dew’s lime green. I didn’t notice the “ULTRA” label until I reviewed it (Σ(´∀`;)).

The tab is the same lime green as the original Dew.

This set, which was released in February 2018 with two original Dew variants, saw only the sugar-free Ultra version discontinued in 2020. Considering the flavor satisfaction, it seems like it was inevitable?
