Review of Alpine Strawberry Flavor-FLV:

Been mixing for nearly 11 years now. I’m a strawberry fanatic and I’ve mixed every strawberry flavoring I’ve ever heard of including this one. I wanted to share my thoughts on this one. Way back when FLV first introduced it, I ordered one of these. 15ml, and paid more for it than I usually pay for 120ml of anything else. Even then, I had been mixing long enough to know not to have predispositions or expectations for any flavor, regardless of price. You win some, you lose some. This one is an absolute win. Allow me to help you manage your expectations a little here. Have you ever eaten wild strawberries? No? Move along then. Yes? Keep reading. Ever eaten wild Carpathian Strawberries? Most will say no. That’s okay. Carpathians are a little darker, earthy and less sweet than wild strawberries we are accustomed to. If you’re searching for that perfect, half-apple sized, sweet strawberry, found in a pickup truck bed full of hay, at the end of a gravel road near the highway, while traveling through farmland in the summertime, this ain’t it. If you’re searching for that strawberry to star in your stage production of “It’s a Wonderful Strawberry Shortcake”, this ain’t it. What it IS however, is that nudge that even the best strawberry flavorings need to attain that more natural taste. If you’re looking to grab that essence of real strawberries cut up in that Route 44 Sonic Strawberry Milkshake, add about .25-.5% to a mix. Honestly, I add two tiny drops per 60ml bottle and it’s perfect. Some here haven’t like it. That’s okay. We’re all different. But don’t let that shy you away from this hidden gem. The price of it does a good enough job without all that. Thanks for reading! BCF and William are the best as always!
