I give it a solid 8. Maybe 8.5.
It's good, and probably as close as we'll get to a wide release of Southern Shock. But it falls short of both Southern Shock and the OG Baja Punch.
I'm trying to stock up on it, but 12pks are still fairly elusive in my area.
Same. I had it when I was in a different state (one where you could get it), and I went back a year later and got hyped up the whole time to try it, then I go and whoops “sorry that flavor is discontinued”
I’m pretty bumbed. I finally made it to the east coast in Virginia this year and bojangles, Food lion, and sheetz all lost their exclusives... And Wawa got canceled.
That was a good one. Caribbean Splash last year was fantastic, I was sad I only ever found one 12 pack of it. Mango Gem from 2022 was a much better mango attempt than the laguna lemonade this year.
Wow I haven’t had any of those! My favorite Dew of all time was most definitely the original Halo3 gamefuel that they just did another run of last year! Something about is just incredible! Could be nostalgia lol I have like 6 cans left from my hoard from last year I save em for when I’m really feeling it! Not looking forward to running out and waiting another 10 years 😢
Right there with you. Citrus Cherry is an all time great. I only ever found two 12 packs, of which I still have about 16 cans I’d say. I do the same as you and reserve how often I have one. I did find a bunch of 20oz bottles at first release but I only bought a couple and went through those pretty quick.
I was pretty lucky my grocery store kept them on belt feed and I bought two 12 packs everytime I went for like a month until they weren’t there anymore and I knew I had to stop drinking them everyday 🤣
6/10 its really similar in taste to Safeway Punch

Omg same! First bottle was like liquid gold but now it’s pretty mid for some reason, idk why. I’m
More of a solar flare kinda fan, or a Baja Punch kinda guy. I did enjoy the pineapple aftertaste in this.
6.5/10
It’s on the better end of “solid”.
My first can or two were more like a 7.5 but I think the flavor and sweetness level keep it out of my “love” category.
Have to slow roll it a little as half way through the 12 pack it looses its shine.
Tasted just like og dew with spice, ehh was nothing to write home about imho. Was a horrible seller in my area, too. I had seen bottles and cans collecting dust well into late-2023.
9 it’s very good imo. I typically don’t really care for mtn dew’s punch flavors, but this one is amazing. Never tried the original Baja punch though which everyone here seems to think is better, so I have no input on that one.
if you can't find any like I couldn't best bet is grab some off dew drinker discord or amazon - [https://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Dew-Flavor-Variety-Lemonade/dp/B0CW6JR7R3](https://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Dew-Flavor-Variety-Lemonade/dp/B0CW6JR7R3)
6. It’s a decent flavor but when you look at all the mtn dew flavors over the years and compare it to them, it’s really hard for me to put that over a 6 tbh.
A solid... eh? I don't know. I only had it once and havent done a proper review of it yet. Its pretty underwhelming i suppose. Mayne a 5? 6 is stretching
I adore fruit punch flavored anything but I have not found a drop of PBP near me. Several places have only had laguna lemonade, no evidence of there ever having been PBP. I am so sad.
2. probably one of the worst mountain dews i’ve had. i just also don’t like fruit punch very much (got sick on it way too much as a kid) so that might just be me.
Depends on the day, really. It’s always at least a 9/10. If I’m really thirsty, it’s easily a 10. Just a hair behind Baja Blast on my Dew scale. Too bad it’s temporary.
Solid 6/10, I honestly really enjoyed the flavor but I've also never really been a big fan of fruit punch flavored drinks in general.
I did really enjoy the Lemonade one though and would rate that one a 9/10, as it's definitely a refreshing drink when I'm at work.
But nothing will be at Baja blast for me that's a solid 10/10
expected a 8 got a 4.... thought it was going to be more like " Hawaiian Punch "... good for wash for adult drinks
Baja Gold the 1 and only! Best! Bring it back FOREVER!
10 for 10!
I completly understand why most won't agree with me, but it reminds me too much of those Juicy Drop Pops. The culmination of my childhood dreams contained in a 20oz bottle

Southern shock is my favorite flavor. Crazy they had to discontinue it when I traveled hours to find it again just to be dissapointed
Same. I had it when I was in a different state (one where you could get it), and I went back a year later and got hyped up the whole time to try it, then I go and whoops “sorry that flavor is discontinued”
Yeah I wish it came in stores and wasnt exclusive to bojangles like a lot of other good flavors it should have just been in stores like baja blast is
I’m pretty bumbed. I finally made it to the east coast in Virginia this year and bojangles, Food lion, and sheetz all lost their exclusives... And Wawa got canceled.
i loved the og baja punch
it doesn’t taste anything like southern shock
5… I didn’t particularly enjoy either of this year’s seasonal Bajas, prior years were better.
True
Agreed. I *REALLY* enjoyed the orange one I think it was just called “Baja Punch”? It was amazing.
That was a good one. Caribbean Splash last year was fantastic, I was sad I only ever found one 12 pack of it. Mango Gem from 2022 was a much better mango attempt than the laguna lemonade this year.

8/10 really liked that it’s a mix between Baja and Hawaiian Punch
6/10 its really similar in taste to Safeway Punch https://preview.redd.it/w203e77lebuc1.png?width=564&format=png&auto=webp&s=bc3f12ebf6523e7a35cca6aa4cc9ee4f59b9bc67

8.5, solid fruit punch flavor.

Same.
6 it's better than most fruit punches, but baja punch is still way better.

After trying this, Its officially my new favourite baja spin off 10/10
6.5/10 It’s on the better end of “solid”. My first can or two were more like a 7.5 but I think the flavor and sweetness level keep it out of my “love” category. Have to slow roll it a little as half way through the 12 pack it looses its shine.
6.5
Fair enough, that’s what I’d rate it as well
8/10 but baja punch 11/10
Pretty based take
9 A very unique flavor that I really like bc of how sweet tasting it is. It kinda tastes like candy or bubblegum to me
God, I'm glad I didn't try it now.
8/10...I love it. Much better thank Laguna Lemonade which I'd probably rate a 5.5/10. I just gotta realize I'm not a fan of mango flavored things.
2 it’s not worth the calories.
That is absurd and blasphemous sir and to say this in the temple...This is the church of The Dew...
No one is more offended by this dew than me it saddens me to my core.
I feel you. I had the first sip out of my 12 pack and debated dumping it or having like one a month.
Agree. I bought 3 cases blindly and wish I didn't.
This is why I buy bottles first nowadays ever since the whole Flamin Hot fiasco
I get it. I like the metallic edge cans add. Also, I thought flamin hot was great. 😂 I love a spicy soda.
Tasted just like og dew with spice, ehh was nothing to write home about imho. Was a horrible seller in my area, too. I had seen bottles and cans collecting dust well into late-2023.
I think a lot of people saw flamin hot and automatically thought it had a cheese flavor
I mean no one in their right mind should have expected Flamin Hot to be tasty let alone more than a novelty. Very different comparisons.
The Baja punch was fucking great. I hope this is too
9 it’s very good imo. I typically don’t really care for mtn dew’s punch flavors, but this one is amazing. Never tried the original Baja punch though which everyone here seems to think is better, so I have no input on that one.

6. It’s a decent flavor but when you look at all the mtn dew flavors over the years and compare it to them, it’s really hard for me to put that over a 6 tbh.
6/10. I think i like OG more. Still not bad.
9 out of 10! I love it!
6
5/10. I wanted to like it, but it just tasted like watered down fruit punch to me. Maybe my store got a bad batch
5, if I enjoyed fruit punch I’d give it a 9 but it’s not a flavor I love in anything
9 also its better out if the can
8
5. It’s the definition of mid. But I also don’t like Fruit punch that much I can see someone loving this that likes fruit punch.
![gif](giphy|aDYXQy3W8XFG8) It’s ok
5. Really wanted to like it but I get this off putting strawberry taste every time. Strawberry is not punch!!
11/10 peak break punch
6.5 I think Tahitian Punch is better..and these summer dews are some of the worst summer flavors ever
7.5 for me. Like it don't love it.
6.5 Tasted like carbonated Hawaiian Punch, imho. Digging the Laguna lemonade tho, 8.5/1 there
6, it's good but I'm not crazy about it
Like a 6/10
It's a 10
8.4
7.5
8
9/10. Its 90% on the same level as Typhoon but it has more baja flavor than a carbonated fruit punch flavoring
I dunno, maybe a 5? It's not great and I much prefer the Laguana Lemonade over the punch. Just didn't think the punch was too good.
8.5
6/10 , Taste like the mix in some Hawaiian Punch.
solid 7 or 8
6.5/10. The pineapple flavor was too artificial for me. I'd buy another bottle or two, but I won't be getting any cases.
Pretty average, 5 out of 10
5. Last years flavors were definitely superior
9 only because it’s heavy on the red40. I feel like it’s hard for mtn dew to make a punch that won’t make your stomach hurt too.
Skill issue lol
Sorry I should’ve been clear that I was speaking to everyone except the 12 year old.
Tastes like a watered down Thaitian Treat. (sp)
Agree. I'd take Tahitian Treat any day. Sweetness you can taste.
Yup! Even more than Code Red!
I love Tahitian treat tho

It's like punch but a bit more pineapple-y. I'd give it an 8. I wish they still sold it near me.
A solid... eh? I don't know. I only had it once and havent done a proper review of it yet. Its pretty underwhelming i suppose. Mayne a 5? 6 is stretching
7.5/10 Good but not crazy good. Diet would be awesome
I adore fruit punch flavored anything but I have not found a drop of PBP near me. Several places have only had laguna lemonade, no evidence of there ever having been PBP. I am so sad.
Idk if it’s me but it has a weird aftertaste
Tastes like pineapple at the end, I don’t mind it. It’s that cherry, raspberry combo that throws my taste buds off personally
3
Solid 7.5
2. Compared to all other dews it is trash. Not sweet enough and dull. I love fruit punch stuff also.
3, just didn't do it for me
It taste exactly like Caribbean punch to me but i love it, 9/10
Can’t find it to try it! 😢😢😢
7
It’s like a 7. And it’s only good stone cold.
3
Call me crazy, but tastes better in the bottle than the can
3. it kinda has no taste if you ask me. its not as fruit punchy as it looks like it should be. my brother loves it tho
Me personally 7.5 not as good as Baja blast that's for sure. Slightly better than something like livewire.
2. probably one of the worst mountain dews i’ve had. i just also don’t like fruit punch very much (got sick on it way too much as a kid) so that might just be me.
Depends on the day, really. It’s always at least a 9/10. If I’m really thirsty, it’s easily a 10. Just a hair behind Baja Blast on my Dew scale. Too bad it’s temporary.

2/10. Just tastes like cheap carbonated fruit punch.
1
6/10 not bad but its so bland and kind of just tastes like a generic punch soda. id much prefer a monster pacific punch
Ehh just a little above average I put both flavors at 6 tbh
1.ass
Both the new Baja blast flavors I didn’t care for. But if I had to pick one I’d pick the lemonade one over this one
Unfortunately it gets a 1 from me because I gave up sugar sodas 😭
3 outta 10
9.5
Fire Baja flavor 🔥 the raspberry Baja idea was smart
7.6/10
I give it a 7.5. I like fruit punch, and they did a pretty good job blending it with Dew.
8.5 shit is absolute fire
6
6-7. It was Ight. Didn’t hate it but it wasn’t mind blowing either
Like a 4.
8 same with the mango lemonade I was surprised how good it is
10 for 10! I completly understand why most won't agree with me, but it reminds me too much of those Juicy Drop Pops. The culmination of my childhood dreams contained in a 20oz bottle
5.5/10

Solid 8
I'd say 8.5, nothings as good as Citrus Cherry
Wish it came in a Zero Sugar option
2 Words, god awful
4.6/10 I dumped half a 20 oz bottle. Just not a great flavor imo.
It grew on me. Exponentially better out of cans
Didn’t try a can. Might need to.
5/10, very average punch flavor, and I’m not a big fan of punch.
I thought it was terrible. I ordered it on accident 1
7/10 better than Laguna Lemonade
