I recently reviewed another flavor from Mountain Dew's Kickstart lineup. This blood orange flavor, labeled "Kickstart Recharge", has now been discontinued. As far as I can discern the "recharge" aspect is maybe because this one features several antioxidants, like vitamin C, E, B6, and Niacin, not listed on the other can. There's only an inkling of citrus scent that arises from the can. For a soda, and with only 5% actual juice, it's oddly very close to the taste of orange juice. With the additional vitamins, if you were unable to have actual orange juice for some reason this would be a pretty good match for your breakfast on the go and with some caffeine to give you a bit of morning pick up. The carbonation seems decent enough. The taste is quite orange and I'm not getting much of a sense of Mountain Dew's traditional flavor blended in. Overall I'm happily surprised with the taste of this drink.
