Can from on WinCo. Looks like Mountain Dew, taste more like 7 Up. Bright green, flat pour. Lemon lime aroma, sweetish taste with done corn syrup notes. Sticky, cloying.

Looks like dew, tastes like dew, sugary like dew...
This is my favorite brew of this line. Really great taste! The only thing that kills it is the high sugar content so you cannot have too many of them. Other than that, they killed this hard Mountain Dew product!

At first glance, it looks beautiful on the shelf. Tastes and feels like a hard version of Mountain Dew. Does feel a little flat but definitely still drinkable.
Definitely recommend to anyone who likes sweeter, lighter beers.
If you see it on the shelf, try it out as it is very enjoyable!

I actually love this drink. It has a pleasant lime smell and tastes like Mountain Dew! It doesn't have an after taste and really will quench a thirst. I'll buy it again, it's much better than Mike's. Mike's can be a bit bitter. A solid 5, as I found it very enjoyable.

12oz bottle poured into Duvel tulip. No discernable date, but 0118FL stamped on glass of neck. Grabbed it as part of a $10 six pack mixer from the grocery store.
Appearance - Possibly the most non-existent head of any beer I've ever seen in hundreds of beer reviews. Even a vigorous high pour only produces a thin-film white head that rapidly extinguishes in moments. Opaque lime green (light green-yellow) body. But it's a citrus brew and this is the most citrus looking beer I've ever seen. So here goes. 4
Smell - Gotta say it smells just like a well-limed light beer, just like someone squeezed a whole bunch of fresh lime juice into it, with maybe a hint of lemon to round it out. Somewhat soft and sweet and rounded. 4
Taste - Wow. Tastes like a lemon-limeade. Cane sugar sweetness. Tastes more like a soft drink than a beer, by miles. In fact, this could confuse people in a taste test with Mountain Dew. 4
Mouthfeel - Some effervescent carbonation. Smooth and mellow. A whole lot like a soft drink. Again, Mountain Dew.
Overall - Have you ever wanted to get drunk off Mountain Dew? Shouldn't be called "Not your father's..." but more like "Not your beer drinker's...", because this doesn't taste anything like a beer. This looks, smells, and tastes like Mountain Dew. 4
