Manufacturer's Brand Overview: [Edit]
Turn up your energy with AMP. Only AMP has MDX5™, taurine, ginseng, B-vitamins, guarana and maltodextrin, a complex carb. All in a great-tasting citrus fusion. AMP is a new energy drink from Mountain Dew. Made with regular Mountain Dew's base flavor formula, AMP combines Taurine, B vitamins, Ginseng and Guarana with simple and complex carbohydrates such as maltodextrin — all in a great-tasting fusion of citrus flavors.

Elevate
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 16 oz

BevNET Review:
Elevate is a "mixed berry" line extension to the AMP Energy Drink line. The flavor tastes like a caffeine spiked fruit punch, which more or less seems to be what Pepsi was going for with the drink. It's fairly enjoyable, although the finish is too syrupy for our liking. In addition, we're not fans of the packaging, which has a cluttered look to it and strays a bit too far from the familiar Mountain Dew / AMP Energy green scheme. Overall, a mediocre line extension.

Relaunch
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 16 oz

BevNET Review:
AMP Relaunch is an orange citrus flavored energy drink that's very similar in flavor to Mountain Dew LiveWire from its CSD lineup. Otherwise, there's nothing really new and exciting about this flavor -- just another line extension to AMP. The execution is very similar to other AMP flavors, complete with high fructose corn syrup leaving a coating in your mouth. We find the front panel of this can to be jumbled and confusing, with the eye jumping between the words "Relaunch" and "Revive." Overall, an OK choice for people who really love AMP, but otherwise, we don't feel like they've differentiate this product enough.

Traction
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 16 oz

BevNET Review:
We're really not a fan of this drink's flavor or packaging. First, there's the grape flavor, which tastes very unnatural and is syrupy in finish. Second, there's the packaging, which feels generic and is generally unattractive due to its text heavy appearance. Really, the product lacks personality, which, to compare it with Monster Energy, a competitor, this product feels too corporate and lacks personality. Overall, we're definitely not fans of this product.

AMP Energy Drink
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 8.4 fl oz can

BevNET Review:
AMP Energy Drink is Pepsi's first real entry into the energy drink market -- and it is betting on the established Mountain Dew brand name to bring it a good market share. AMP is based on the original flavor of Mountain Dew, so it's a taste that most people will be familiar with. It has been enhanced with a variety of ingredients typically found in energy drinks (taurine, ginseng, guarana, etc.), so the flavor has a bit more bite than regular Dew. Overall, it tastes good -- if you like Mountain Dew. Compared to Red Bull and the Red Bull knockoffs of the world, its a flavorful product. Not too original, but at least we can stand the taste.
