Of all the three Mountain Dews, I liked Supernova the best. It seemed to be the most different tasting flavor while still keeping the Mountain Dew flavor profile and mouth feel. To me, it tasted like a generic "berry" flavored Mountain Dew as opposed to the Strawberry Melon it is supposed to be, but the berry flavor was just different and sweet enough to make it drinkable and make me wanting more. To me, it almost tasted like chewing Sweet Berry flavored Stride gum and drinking Mountain Dew.
The Voltage almost tasted like the Original Pitch Black only with a lighter and more crisp taste. There was a little tart to it, but when it was cold, the tart wasn't as prominent (at least not to me). While it was okay, I felt like I have drank this Mountain Dew flavor before and it wasn't different enough to make me want it as a full time choice in Mountain Dew flavors.
Revolution was good and quasi unique. To me, it almost tasted like Baja Blast (good thing since that is
my favorite Mountain Dew flavor if not my favorite Pepsi Product overall) but with some tartness. Actually the aftertaste is almost like the hard Sweettarts candy. Again, with the similarity to Baja Blast, I felt like I have had this Mountain Dew before. But it is cool what Pepsi is doing with the Mountain Dew brand after X years of only offering one flavor.
My choices are:
1. SuperNova - very unique and unlike any other Mountain Dew flavor I have tasted; plus, I want more!
2. Revolution - almost unique and almost matches my favorite Mountain Dew flavor Baja Blast; but, I just as easily get Baja Blast from Taco Bell or eat a pack of Sweettarts
3. Voltage - while the Original Pitch Black was good, this flavor is a nice follow up to it. But I have had that flavor before and wants something not so similar
