It’s there, a little bit, if you think about it, but if you’re not paying attention and looking for it, I think it’ll slip on by without you noticing. So, if you’re not a fan of the big Aspartame aftertaste, you can still maybe manage this one. I think I only really started noticing it after I read that it was in there. I will admit that I even had a few sips before I looked at the ingredients list and was almost surprised to see Aspartame on there. Also, unlike Mountain Dew Zero Sugar and some of the other Zero flavors, there’s not that long-lasting, almost overpowering Aspartame flavor. The flavor doesn’t feel like raspberry, though I’m not entirely sure that I’m really getting pomegranate from it, either. This stuff feels much more straightforward like a soda drinks. I mentioned in many of the Kickstart reviews that the drink had a “roundness” to it, catching me on the sides of my tongue. Seems like that’d be a great way to help jerk you awake in the morning, since this is designed to be drank early in the morning. I will admit that I do kind of miss that. They don’t pack as much of an initial punch to the tongue. That’s one thing I’ve noticed with a lot of these juice-augmented Dews. Taking a sip, it still reminds me of a blue raspberry flavor, but again, like the smell not being too powerful, the taste isn’t either. It’s not an overpowering hit to the nose like some of these sodas can be. It does kinda remind me of blue raspberry flavors. And, to be honest, that’s more what I think this smells like. Blue is normally reserved for raspberry instead of pomegranate. So beware all you Andifoxes.Īs for the smell, it’s definitely a bright berry smell. I’d put it at maybe just a touch darker than Voltage in terms of color. That means, it’s on to the pour.Īs one would expect from Pomegranate Blue Burst, the soda is blue. What’s this soda actually like? Well, first, we need to get it out of the can.

It’s also got some added vitamins that, while I doubt a clinical trial would show that people’s mental acuity is greatly enhanced versus a placebo, I doubt they’re doing harm. But now we’re moving into the realm of speculation). So, if you’re trying to cut down on carbs, it might still be in your wheelhouse to have (though I have the feeling most people grabbing a Dew in the morning aren’t carb-cutting, as I would imagine that this drink will often be paired with little chocolate donuts more often than not. As I say, it doesn’t have much sugar (5g of carbs, including 4g of sugars in the whole can). So, that’s a brief rundown of what’s inside. So, it will definitely perk you up that way. It also claims to have as much caffeine as two cups of coffee. But zinc and vitamins A and C aren’t harmful for you, either (unless you’re taking, like, a ton of it. It’s stuff you put on a product to really hype it up when, in reality, it’s not doing much of anything. And while zinc has been shown to help when you’ve got a cold, I doubt that this drink has as much as a zinc supplement in it (though I’ve not exactly compared, mind you. Those are there to help with your immune system as well as your concentration. It also boasts having zinc as well as vitamins A and C. It only has 0g of “extra sugar.” This stuff has that grape juice, after all, but it also has aspartame in it. Note that it doesn’t say that it doesn’t have any sugar.
That comes from concentrated white grape juice as the second ingredient. So, what sets Rise Energy apart from regular Dew? Well, for starters, it’s got 5% juice, just like the Game Fuel and Kickstart Energy lines do. A niche market, I’m sure, but one that’s definitely out there. Pepsico is looking to create a drink for people like me. But I’ve been known to grab a can on mornings that I just can’t get going. I try and only keep it to Friday and Saturday. So, for caffeine, that pretty much just leaves me with soda. As for tea, I’m almost always fine with tea as I’m drinking it, but as soon as I stop, there’s this bitter, astringent taste that fills my mouth that I don’t like at all. Coffee, to me, tastes like if someone had taken some charcoal, crushed it up in a cup, and added water to it. It might shock some people to know that I don’t like coffee or tea. I admit I’m sometimes in that group (though I’m trying to cut back). So, Rise Energy looks to be Pepsico’s attempt to grab the morning-soda-drinker market. What’s that?” and Amazon was like, “It’s some new Dew flavors, yo.” and I was like, “Oh hell yeah, I’m interested in that!” The other day when I was on Amazon shopping for an HDMI cable, of all things, Amazon said, “Hey, would you be interested in this?” and I was like, “woah. Yes, that’s right, Pepsico has been at it again.
