  What's going on, everybody? We are back for a beer review.
• 0:15
  It's been a little bit. Last time we had one, it was a
• 0:17
  local beer, Angling Light Lager. I was on my way home from a
• 0:23
  wrestling show PPW the other night and I stopped at this gas
• 0:25
  station in Slatington, PA, which it's kind of far away from the
• 0:29
  venue. Like it's almost like 2 miles
• 0:32
  out of the. I thought like the venue was
• 0:33
  right outside of Slatington. It's not there's like a Turkey
• 0:37
  hill or something or I don't know, a Sunoco.
• 0:40
  And I went in there, got some drinks and I seen the booze 1
• 0:44
  and I seen hardbound Dews once. We did a variety pack up here
• 0:47
  before and I said to you guys in there, I was like man, like my
• 0:51
  favorite Mountain Dew is Code Red.
• 0:52
  If they did a code red version of this, I would love it.
• 0:55
  Well, guess what everybody, we got a, we got a tall boy can
• 0:59
  hard Mountain Dew Code Red 0 sugar because that's what I'm
• 1:04
  worried about when I'm boozing it up.
• 1:06
  We're going to crack it open, pour it in, talk a little bit
• 1:09
  about it. It's very so code red to me
• 1:15
  doesn't smell or really taste like cherry.
• 1:18
  It just tastes like code red to me.
• 1:20
  Immediately smell though it smells very grenadine cherry or
• 1:25
  often knows all right so I do have my obey they live glass.
• 1:31
  I just watched it again last night going to bed but I'm going
• 1:35
  to last last couple man cans we had on this were all those 4
• 1:40
  locos and we were not able to finish one of them because I did
• 1:44
  not like them and hopefully this is not the case.
• 1:48
  I would like to drink this the rest of the day, but we're going
• 1:51
  to go all the way up. It is very red and vibrant.
• 1:56
  Look at that bad boy. It pours like a soda.
• 2:00
  It really does no head on that at all.
• 2:02
  Just a little fizzy bubble and then it immediately subsides.
• 2:05
  But Co red hard Mountain Dew is part of the alcoholic Mountain
• 2:09
  Dew beverage line introduced originally in 2022 with flavours
• 2:14
  original like original live wire Baja Blast.
• 2:17
  And this version joins the lineup as cherries with the
• 2:22
  cherry citrus at a 5% ABV flavored malt beverage.
• 2:27
  So yeah, let's take a quick sip. All right, I'll get back to you
• 2:36
  on that on the on the review there, but released quietly in
• 2:38
  early 2025 after previews the industry in 2022.
• 2:42
  Code Red Hard, Hard. Code Red initially appeared in
• 2:46
  24 oz Tall Boy cans, and it is expected to replace hard
• 2:50
  watermelon flavor in the variety packs.
• 2:53
  I'm going to be honest, I think that's a bad move.
• 2:55
  I think that's a bad move. I thought watermelon was one of
• 2:57
  the better flavors in that pack. I would get rid of the What was
• 3:01
  the one that like the orange, The orange sickle one?
• 3:04
  Yeah. I would keep Baja.
• 3:05
  I would keep Code Red. I would keep original and
• 3:08
  watermelon even though watermelon is not like a
• 3:10
  traditional. I liked the watermelon 1, I
• 3:14
  don't. I think the orange 1 was lacking
• 3:17
  and I didn't like the. Original.
• 3:21
  Yeah. You like Baja blasts?
• 3:22
  Yeah, it was launched at an offbeat marketing campaign
• 3:26
  called Rd. Code Red Save the Redheads,
• 3:29
  promoting a dating service subscription and giveaways to
• 3:32
  redhead individuals to to for fun and awareness.
• 3:35
  The campaign ran in March 2007 to April 2000.
• 3:38
  April 10th, 2025. Very mixed reviews on this.
• 3:43
  The the reviews on on tapped are barely anything.
• 3:46
  They're not a lot of people getting this because I think the
• 3:48
  only way you can get it is these big tall boy cans.
• 3:51
  I don't think this is super sought after when it comes to
• 3:54
  the actual flavors, but I'll tell you what I'm going to try
• 3:58
  it one more time here. Do you want to come over and
• 3:59
  take a sip off camera? It's it's very cherry.
• 4:09
  It's very, very cherry to me. I don't I don't hate it.
• 4:15
  I think it's tasty. I can enjoy it but it doesn't
• 4:18
  give me Code Red vibe. It doesn't taste to me like a
• 4:21
  Code Red Mountain Dew. No, but it also isn't.
• 4:24
  It's also like, I would like to say on the side of like.
• 4:32
  Is that a motorcycle? I don't.
• 4:34
  Know it's whoever's vehicle that is.
• 4:36
  Sounds like shit. It's not like it where a drive
• 4:39
  by just happened. 4 locos and stuff like that.
• 4:42
  That maltiness, it doesn't have that multi taste.
• 4:45
  Yeah, and it's not over sweet. I would say it tastes more like
• 4:47
  a soda, but no, not quite coded. Yeah, it's not overbearingly
• 4:51
  sweet. It's not like, oh, this is
• 4:53
  gross, because sometimes the hard sodas mixed into a malt
• 4:57
  beverage does not translate very well.
• 5:02
  I have no problem drinking the hard Mountain Dews as a drink.
• 5:05
  I can drink an entire can of this.
• 5:07
  I have no problem drinking the full the full drink, I think
• 5:11
  because there's no carbonation or no like soda ish vibe because
• 5:16
  it's made like a beer. I think that's what maybe makes
• 5:18
  it taste a little different than Code Red Mountain Dew.
• 5:21
  But I don't get a huge cherry taste of code Red Mountain Dew
• 5:24
  or maybe just because I haven't had Code red in a long time.
• 5:27
  But I like I said, it doesn't hit the code red vibe for me as
• 5:32
  one of my favorite Mountain Dew flavors.
• 5:33
  But I like this flavor. I think it's good.
• 5:35
  I think code Red cherry code red with the cherry is really good.
• 5:40
  It's very, very, very cherry. But yeah, this is something I
• 5:43
  would have again, I'm going to give this a three out of five.
• 5:48
  I probably wouldn't go out of my way to look for another one.
• 5:50
  But if it was available and I wanted to have like a hard soda
• 5:53
  while I'm watching A wrestling pay-per-view and not have that
• 5:56
  beer feeling, maybe sure, I'd go with this.
• 5:58
  Again, not bad at all. I'll kind of show off the can.
• 6:02
  So it's it looks like a Bigfoot or an ape looking character
• 6:06
  holding up some cherries trying to see on the screen.
• 6:10
  But it's like I said, it's supposedly this is going to be
• 6:13
  joining the variety pack soon, so maybe that'll be a thing.
• 6:17
  But yeah, it's not terrible. I don't.
• 6:18
  I don't hate it. Cheers to you guys.
• 6:21
  We'll see you guys soon for another beer review.
• 6:23
  If there's something you want me to try variety pack wise or
• 6:25
  anything out there. I know depending on craft beers,
• 6:28
  depending on what state you're in or what it may be, and there
• 6:30
  may be different varieties. If there's any spirits you want
• 6:33
  me to try, depending if it's going to cost me $300 a bottle,
• 6:36
  give me some feedback and some reviews tomorrow down below and
• 6:39
  we'll try some stuff out. If it helps you guys out
• 6:42
  watching this, I'm from the Northeast Pennsylvania area near
• 6:45
  Pottsville. So distribution might be a
• 6:48
  little tricky. But we are, like I said, I there
• 6:51
  was a while there where I am struggling, you know,
• 6:53
  financially I can't go out and spend as much as I want to.
• 6:55
  So making content, especially review content is a little
• 6:58
  difficult when you're on a budget, but we try to move
• 7:01
  things around so I can keep content coming.
• 7:04
  Live streams are coming back soon to the channel.
• 7:06
  So we're going to be doing that. But maybe maybe one night we'll
• 7:08
  just like I do a banging beers live stream or we're going to do
• 7:11
  live streams from the platforms where maybe we don't have a set
• 7:14
  topic, but we just kind of turn the camera on, chill and just
• 7:18
  talk whatever it may be, it have a beer and just have a
• 7:21
  conversation. So that's something to look
• 7:22
  forward to in the future. Maybe myself and Lily bust out
• 7:26
  some of these TikTok card games, have a beer, turn the webcam on,
• 7:30
  sit at the table and just and have a little conversation and
• 7:33
  have a beer or two. And that could be like a banging
• 7:35
  beers live stream podcast. So we'll have some of those in
• 7:38
  the future as well as some other ones, but we'll see you guys in
• 7:41
  the next one. We're out of here.
• 7:43
  Cheers. Drink responsibly and don't,
• 7:45
  don't, don't hard Mountain Dew and drive or anything.
• 7:48
  Just take it easy, have your beer and sit your fucking ass
• 7:51
  down. Stop.
• 7:52
  Don't be out there driving around and acting like
• 7:55
  psychopaths. Enjoy yourself.
• 7:57
  Have a good night. Bye.
