They are clear that it's "From Mountain Dew", assuming that "Mountain Dew" is some remote island where all the xtreme sports stars are enslaved to make sodas. The can features a sweet light to dark green vertical fade...which is so xtreme. They also clarify that this product is not for children...and Mountain Dew is?
Active Ingredients *Per can, not per serving:
Maltodextrin, Ginseng, Taurine, B Vitamins, Guarana, and Caffeine. I would also like to add sugar, quite a lot of it, as an active ingredient.
Angie's Review: Reviews posted after May 2007 are written by a guest reviewer referred to from this point forward as "The Stig".
I've always thought of this as the mini wannaba Monster. I enjoy the flavor, but you really have to get it when it's nice and cold because it gets thick fast. The energy level is decent, but it could be better. I think you get a bit of a kick in the beginning, but it doesn't have much going for it besides a bunch of sugar.

5Jason's Review:
This soda has always been entirely too syrupy for me. It's like drinking tree sap. The taste is pretty good otherwise, liken to condensed Mountain Dew. I'd imagine it would be good served over pancakes, but it's not an enjoyable beverage for me. I also get very little out of it in the way of energy. I feel like the energy is mostly from the sugar, though it does host an impressive list of "energizing" ingredients in undisclosed amounts.
On a closing note, the logo and can are both pretty cool. I do feel "xtreme" when drinking it.
Edited 6-16-2008
Please note, this is the 2005 version of AMP, the 8.3oz which existed before Mountain Dew MDX came and went. I believe the new AMP, which is 16oz. is also a new formula.

AMP is the best energy drink around. green rocks.
joe on 2010-05-28 12:35:44 said:
amp tastes like s*@%. just like the rest of the super sugar filled energy drinks. plus all that corn syrup in them is nasty. hydrive is much better, and much healthier. amp and them are not good for you due to all the sugar and corn syrup they use. plus they are high in calories compared to hydrive which only has 30 per bottle, and no corn syrup since its water based u get no nasty after tastes..they taste similar to gatorade but better, Edited by Jason: Why didn't you just post this comment in the Hydrive review, where we essentially said the same thing?
oteo on 2010-05-06 14:39:04 said:
Ah, now this sucker brings back good memories. AMP was the first energy drink I ever tried back in its original can, I think I was 10 years old at the time. I give the taste a 8-9/10, and I usually drink a 16 oz AMP after I finish up a good long skate/BMX session.
john on 2009-12-29 10:30:17 said:
this energy drink doesn't taste that great at all, but it is supposed 2 have the most energy in it, but i would never drink it...
Rachell on 2009-12-11 13:19:33 said:
I love Amp energy drinks they dont really work for me unless i chug it but it tastes so much better then any other energy drink!
billo on 2009-11-20 12:52:15 said:
amp tastes way better than other energy drinks; no nasty chemical aftertaste... it just tastes like a delicious soda.
greg on 2009-11-06 09:57:57 said:
I like Amp Energy for it's sugar high. I got them 5 for 5$ at Shaws and if it wasn't on sale for that price I would have gone with a good ol' Rockstar.
LovENRG on 2009-09-29 09:17:55 said:
Could somebody please inform me of the actual taste of Amp? If anyone on this site reads this...great job guys, but please describe the taste for each drink in ur review. Also maybe a viewers pages voting between poor->average->good can give a better general idea of each drink! Good luck guys.
ShaggyisMatt on 2009-07-23 11:43:24 said:
It is like Mountain Dew in a taller can at twice the price. Same taste and same amount of energy. Waste of money when you could just buy a regular dew.
Yasmin on 2009-06-16 15:39:29 said:
Amp energy drink had no effect on me at all. It tasted good for one second, but the after taste was horrible!
John on 2009-05-07 13:59:44 said:
AMP is my favorite energy drink. If you like Mountain Dew, you will like AMP. It taste like Mountain Dew that has been kicked up a notch or two
Nova on 2009-04-27 12:48:44 said:
I've been drinking amp for like 2 years now and I can honestly say I love it. I love the taste but of course I'm a chronic Mountain Dew Drinker. This stuff wakes me up in the morning and will keep me sorta awake until lunch then I have a good old-fashioned Mountain Dew.
Midnite Sally on 2009-04-14 16:19:37 said:
For me, AMP is like a Mt. Dew upgrade. Personally, I prefer the original green to other flavors. The energy boost could be better. The price tends to be pretty good too. For the amount of beverage, combined with the taste, it's usually a better buy than the others. I'll actually skip buying an energy drink if they don't have AMP in the store.
Anne on 2009-03-24 12:28:22 said:
This was the first energy drink I tried that was actually tolerable. I had tried some type of blueberry Monster drink and a type of Full Throttle but HATED the tastes. Amp gives me enough energy and the taste is good for an energy drink; however, I am not too fond of the AFTER taste.
Mandy on 2009-02-12 12:36:04 said:
Amp is better tasting than all the other energy drinks i've tried.
brittani on 2009-01-08 19:01:54 said:
Amp energy drink is awesome..my boyfrind got me drinking it and now i can't stop. Not that i have an addiction to it. i don't. it just wakes me up and keeps going through the day.
Sammy on 2008-12-10 11:50:42 said:
Amp's a lot better than No Fear. I'd say it's right on par with Monster, except it's maybe a little sweeter. Keeps me going for post-work homework marathons, so I can honestly say it gets the job done...
mario on 2008-11-24 11:58:57 said:
I think maybe Jason and Angie need to try Amp again. The taste and kick alone are good enough to make this drink one of the best!
zizzerqb11 on 2008-08-18 23:47:10 said:
AMP is great!! I have one everyday before work.
Energy Drink lover on 2008-07-29 16:50:23 said:
Tastes identical to regular mountain dew. But gives you energy and has a host of other flavors to choose from.
Ugzz on 2008-05-23 11:54:34 said:
I also thoroughly enjoy Amp energy drink. The flavor is very good, however i am a huge mountain dew fan, and im sure that helps. The energy is nothing amazing but feels on par for my tastes. I would rate this above average maybe around a 7 or so. I agree that i would "LOVE" to see screaming energy review Amp Energy Overdrive. Code red has always been my favorite mountain dew, and the red amp overdrive is my favorite energy drink. Sadly its a little expensive for my blood.
Nick Jones on 2008-05-23 11:36:20 said:
I love Amp! This is my absolute favorite energy drink ever. The only kind of Amp'd that is bad is red. The energy boost is great, and there is little to no crash. Oh, and it tastes great!
amp drinker on 2008-05-21 14:55:14 said:
this is some crappy rating i drink this stuff like 3 - 4 times a week
Brian on 2008-05-19 13:19:41 said:
Amp overdrive is for the win! amp for life dude
asda on 2008-05-18 15:56:36 said:
hmm i agree too, amp is one of my favorites, and you should review the other amps too because there is 5 types i believe, amp, overdrive, traction, elevate, and the orange one i cant remember Edited by Jason: We have reviewed AMP Overdrive, we will be reviewing the others, and will perhaps do a new review of the original AMP in the 16oz. can.
Lots of Energy on 2008-05-06 09:00:21 said:
I would usually agree but I love amp and it has the best flavor I ever tasted in an energy drink and this is the best drink ever so get some and.... chug!!!! =P
z kellzz on 2008-05-06 08:56:11 said:
AMP is the best ever! it tastes like mountain dew and skittles
Jacob on 2008-05-01 10:33:34 said:
AMP energy drink is hands down the best tasting ever. I LOVE IT!!
neacara on 2008-04-22 13:51:22 said:
i think that amp energy drink is the best kind but it doesn't make me hyper enough.
PIRO on 2008-04-10 17:19:07 said:
AMP is the best drink out there, no doubt.
Andy on 2008-04-07 21:29:44 said:
AMP is in my opinion by far the best tasting drink out there. The first time I was a little hesitant. But it really is good. The energy is minimal for some people. Yet my friend gets hyper with half a can. Great drink.
dew man on 2008-04-04 18:29:45 said:
AWESOME i love amp it is one of the best energy drinks!!!!!!

mountain dew amp is the best drink of all time, i love it
sean on 2008-02-21 15:47:14 said:
I agree this is a bogus rating. I don't think amp really gives that much energy, but it's taste is second to none. I drink it just for the taste, not the energy.
Austin on 2008-02-19 18:22:26 said:
Sorry guys, ive agreed with you guys on most of these reviews but...Amp is probably my favorite energy drink...so far
djmante on 2008-02-13 18:50:59 said:
this is a bogus rating this one is one of my favorites also
Shane on 2008-02-07 20:36:48 said:
Of my favorite energy drinks, this one is way up there! Great mild flavor and a pretty good boost. Two thumbs up, or three if i had an extra thumb...

amp is great. if you like mountain dew you will like amp. it has awesome taste.
