This is the Mountain Dew Energized Passionfruit Frenzy, formulated without any actual passionfruit juice.

The beverage presented an opaque yellow-orange hue, slightly paler and less orange than Passiona, with a sharp, overtly tropical aroma that leaned heavily towards cough syrup. Carbonation was assertive and immediately apparent on pouring.

When consumed chilled, the flavour read broadly as tropical punch. The passionfruit note itself was faint, identifiable more by suggestion than by clear fruit character. Through the mid-palate, sweetness dominated, driven largely by artificial sweeteners that became increasingly saccharine toward the finish. The aftertaste was lingering and medicinal, reinforcing the cough syrup association detected on the nose. The combination of artificial flavouring and pronounced sweetener character detracted from drinkability.

Overall, this was a highly sweet, artificially driven tropical soft drink that lacked authentic passionfruit expression and proved difficult to finish.

This Mountain Dew Energized Passionfruit Frenzy contained 1.25 L. It was produced in Australia and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2026.
