Ultra: nine flavours at 56mg
Ultra is the line the brand describes as its top one, and it's the only Iceberg line we stock. Every can is 56mg a pouch, the extreme band on our scale, with 20 white pouches of 0.8g inside. The word ULTRA sits at the top of each lid and the flavour name sits beneath the ICEBERG wordmark, which is why our shelf puts the two together. Three of those names tell you nothing about the taste, so take them first. Ultra Arasaka is a sweet apricot flavour. Ultra Black is sweet mixed fruit with a chewing gum character, and the brand describes the blend as running from pineapple and orange to apricot and apple. Ultra Emerald is green apple with a citrus edge, sweet and sour at once, and lime is the citrus the brand names.
The rest say what they are. Ultra Grape is a sweet, soft grape. Ultra Sour Berries is mixed berries, sweet and sour together, and the brand lists strawberry, raspberry, cherry and currant in the blend. Ultra Strawberry Banana Gum pairs sweet strawberry with soft banana and gives the two a bubblegum character. Side by side, those three run from the softest fruit on the shelf to the sourest, with the gum sitting between them. Ultra Energy is a sweet, tangy energy drink flavour, and the word on the lid describes the taste and nothing more.
Two cans bring mint. Ultra Sweet Mint is the one pure mint in the line, a cool, classic mint with a touch of sweetness. Ultra Watermelon Mint Gum is juicy watermelon with a cool chewing gum mint, so it sits halfway between the fruit cans and the mint. That makes nine flavours and one strength, which keeps the decision simple. If an extreme can is already your usual and you only try one, make it Ultra Emerald, the can that has the sweet and the sour in the same pouch.
