Real Flavors Pomegranate SC
PerennialPhilosopher
Setup: Goon LP, Dual parallel 25g SS316L @ 0.10ohms, 80w power with 100w preheat, 410 degree F temp limit, full cotton wicks
Testing: RF (SC) Pomegranate @1.4% Solo 50/50 VG/PG, steeped three days.
Flavor Description: This tastes like a sweetened pomegranate. at times it almost feels like the seeds are there somewhere, like a hint of earthiness that is so subtle its almost not worth mentioning. this is a very juicy flavor that almost sticks to my palate and lingers there. the tartness of a real pomegranate isn't very present here, its like putting sugar in a pomegranate puree. no notable texture except juicy.
Off-flavors: none, unless you count the LACK of tartness or added sweetness
Throat Hit: nothing noticable, very smooth
Notes/Suggested Pairings: first of all i think this would be amazing with some LA Lemonade! or in any kind of fruity drink really... I think the percentage of use will be from 1% as a support for other berries (especially Blueberry or Blackberry) to 2% as a main flavor or lead note. i could see this used in candy mixes, bakeries, drinks, berry blends, etc.
Second Opinions: i imagine other people got this during the sale so leave your opinions in the comments please! the Real Flavors site describes this as follows: "This seasonal fruit is an autumn/winter favorite. Mildly sweet and highly tart, pomegranates make a delicious snack and can be added to savory or dessert-style foods. Drinks like them too! Leave behind the chore of peeling those juicy red seeds out…that’s what we’re here for." seems like a description of pomegranates themselves rather than the concentrate. couldn't find any other opinions on this one.
Edit: changed bitter to tart for accuracy
Edit2: I just wanted to clarify that this is really tasty and juicy. I would recommend trying this!
