There’s supposedly an Energy version of it going around out there, too. It reminds me of why this is one of my top flavors of Dew. Well done, Mountain Dew flavor-makers, another home run in this case for me. ![]() So, yes, while I do think it’s been slightly tweaked from the last time I had it, I don’t dislike the changes that were made. There’s more for your tongue to taste than just Sweet and Grape. This has that grape as the main flavor, but there’s back-up notes of citrus to help give it more of a blended flavor. As I said, most artificial grape I find to simply be too overpowering. Though, I do feel that, like the smell, the citrus notes have been turned up just a bit in the mix. It’s still that artificial grape that I have come to love from Pitch Black. It’s definitely that same dark purple color with the fizz being more blue on the very top. Though, part of me wishes I had an old Pitch Black to try side-by-side with this one, or even a Malaysian one. Maybe a bit more of the citrus notes coming through, though I still feel like I’m getting artificial grape in there. Well, it still smells like the Pitch Black that I remember, at least for the most part. I don’t entirely know what that means, but let’s get to it. This version seems like it’s a dark citrus punch. ![]() Not that it lacked flavor by any means, but if other artificial grape was, “ GRAPE!!!” then Pitch Black was just, “Grape!” It was the right amount to me. I have talked about Dew flavors being a kick in the tongue, but most artificial grape I found was like a freight train to the tongue. I generally found it to always be too sweet and too powerful. To be very honest, I’m generally not a big fan of artificial grape flavor. Well, now that it’s cold, let’s see what we’ve got.Īs I mentioned above, Pitch Black was Mountain Dew’s grape flavor. It was just released this week and you know as soon as I saw some, I was going to get it. But, PepsiCo has thrown us a lifeline and, at least for a limited time, we can once more find Pitch Black on store shelves. But that’s expensive and the soda just wasn’t as fizzy as I liked. At best, you can get imported ones from Malaysia, which I’ve done. The only problem is that it’s been years since you could get Pitch Black here in the States. ![]() However, among the other flavors that vie for my top spots is Pitch Black, Mountain Dew’s grape flavor. Longtime readers with a really good memory might remember that my favorite flavor of Dew is Code Red. And this is one that I’ve been waiting to write for a long, long time. But on January 1, fans will be able to pick up Mountain Dew Pitch Black in regular, zero-sugar, and energy varieties in bottles and cans for the first time in several years.Welcome back, everyone. The flavor was made permanent in 2016, and after a three-year run became a soda fountain exclusive, which means you can only get the drink at select convenience stores here in the U.S. While the flavor is set to make its return on 1/1/23, it technically never entirely went away. The black grape-flavored soda was a hit and has seen numerous re-releases and variations since, including a zero-sugar variety, Mtn Dew Energy, and a freeze release. Pitch Black first arrived for the 2004 Halloween season and was Mountain Dew’s first foray into Halloween releases, which would become a staple of the season with the introduction of VooDew in 2019. The news came via a short video highlighting how much fans clamored for the flavor’s return. Mountain Dew announced on Tuesday the return of its original Halloween soft drink, Pitch Black. ![]()
