A new soda has hit the market, and Sierra Mist Natural Lemon-Lime Soda is its name. Produced by Pepsi, Sierra Mist Natural has seen more than one incarnation. From 2000 to 2010 Sierra Mist was sweetened with High Fructose Corn Syrup, until the recipe and the name was reformulated. In 2010 Pepsi decided to use a more natural form of sugar and switched to sucrose instead of HFCS. Pepsi also paired down the total number of ingredients and added the world "natural" to the products name. Now Sierra Mist Natural is made with carbonated water, citric acid, natural flavor, potassium citrate, and the aforementioned sweetener. This drink looks good to me so far.

So with a cold bottle and an open mind I dive into Sierra Mist Natural Lemon Lime Soda. The label informs me that it is caffeine free. So I open the top and pour a tall glass. It smells like any lemon lime-cola one may encounter, and is crystal clear. A generous gulp is eagerly drank. This tastes promising! Equal amounts of carbonation and lemon-lime flavor are present and neither are overpowering. Overall my impression is positive, and I think I would purchase another bottle.

Final review: Buy A Bottle! Choosing a soda with no artificial ingredients is a solid decision in my opinion, choosing Sierra Mist is equally as solid considering its taste and value.
