Since I reviewed Mtn Dew Game Fuel Blue, I feel it is only right to review the newest Mtn Dew flavour, diet Mtn Dew Ultra Violet. diet Mtn Dew Ultra Violet is the only Mtn Dew variant that is exclusively diet, which I personally find is surprising. Perhaps Pepsi finally realized that the diet soda market is rather bare. Like in my Game Fuel Blue review, I'm going to modify my reviewing style slightly because Ultra Violet isn't an energy drink.FIRST IMPRESSION: The bottle of diet Mtn Dew Ultra Violet is a mixed bag. Though I like the shiny wrapper, there is too much text. Does Pepsi honestly think that the logo needs both "diet" and "zero calorie?" Apparently so. The back ground is also distracting. The pattern goes every-which way, making an already hard to read bottle harder to read. I'm expecting something along the lines of a grape/berry blend, given its colour, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was completely off and is something like lime and watermelon.
TASTE: I opened the bottle and took a sip. The flavour starts out a sweet green/red grape mix that quickly fades into more of a blue raspberry taste. Along with the blue raspberry, there are some rather mild hints of grapefruit and blueberry. The sweetest part is the transition between the initial flavour and the latter flavour, which while stand able, is the worst part of the flavour as it tastes artificial. There is very little sugar free after taste, which is a great surprise. Overall, Pepsi did a great job creating a sugar free drink that doesn't taste like it's sugar free.
Nutrition: Each bottle contains: 0 calories, 0 grams of sugar, 25mg of sodium, caffeine, natural and artificial flavours, and BVO. These ingredients make Ultra Violet good for those who are watching their weight. Though water is still the healthiest drink out there, for a soda, diet Ultra Violet isn't the worst.
FINAL WORD: Overall, I feel that diet Mtn Dew Ultra Violet is a good+ drink. Though the bottle design could use some work, the fact that it tastes good and is sugar free make up for it. Now, I highly doubt that Ultra Violet will win any overall soda awards, but in the sugar free category, I could see it being a top contestant. Whether your a heath nut or a soda junkie, buy diet Mtn Dew Ultra Violet...3.6/5

FYI Something very interesting that i have noticed about this particular beverage, is that it changes color. This is ONLY noticable if you pour it into a glass/cup.
I purchased a 12 pack of these and since i enjoy my soda cold i filled a glass with ice, and filled the rest of the glass with the dew. To my suprise the fizzy bubbles changed to a green and then to a blue color.
I don't know if this is an intended effect or just a fun side effect, but it ups my enjoyment of the beverage.
