I just tried this for the first time because I wanted to enter the promotion to have my name on Dale Jr.’s car in the Talladega race (just enter the code on the bottom of the can at ampenergy.com) and I have to say, pleasantly surprised! I’d definitely go back for more!

AMP tastes like MountainDew because… well… It basicly IS MountainDew. It has roughly double the caffine (not impressive) and the other ingridents, as mentioned, are in such tiiiny amounts that the effect is nil.

For example, AMP advertises it’s Taurine as an energy component. Great! It does however, only have 10mg. A Monster has 1000mg – 100x more.

I would have given AMP a much lower score just because it’s simply MountainDew marketed as an energy drink.

The orange flavour was rather disappointing for me. I had tried the grape flavour while it was still in testing phases; I’ve never liked grape flavoured drinks but it’s not bad. The mixed berry is great for flavour. However I agree that there’s not really much of a kick from these flavours.

I tried the AMP slurpee. It’s good. I still want to try the real thing.

I think Amp is one of the better tasting energy drinks; simply because it tastes similar to Mountain Dew. I just wish it had more energy qualities to it, might as well buy the Mountain Dew MDX. One that that Amp has that no other drink out that has is Dale Earnhardt Jr. Amp will sell well as long as they sponsor him.

overdrive is definitely not the same as game fuel, game fuel was cherry with citrus and other stuff, it’s closer to code red (which is the best mountain dew anyways)

honestly i’m far beyond the “regular” energy drinks like monster and amp giving me any kind of reaction at all. i feel no buzz and all that, so it comes down to the flavor when i’m not drinking SPIKE.
i like the original AMP and Overdrive. the others i’m not too fond of. when it comes to taste though, i like the sobe adrenaline rush more than any of them.

“(some having L-Theanine for relaxation”
cause i know that’s what i drink energy drinks for..to relax. who decided that was a good idea?

Amp is definitely not my favorite, but my girlfriend (who still doesn’t approve of my 2 cans a day energy drink habit) is hooked on blue Amp. She’s new enough to caffeine that she’s absolutely wired off of one can. My review? Good flavor, poor buzz.
