Review of Grapefruit Blend Flavor-FLV:

**Grapefruit Blend (Flavorah) 1.5% (3-2-23)**  --  A little sweeter, and smoother than I had expected, and a hint of lime, were the immediate take-aways on this flavor.  At first I thought maybe Flavorah had tempered in a little "pink" to try and tone down what can sometimes be an "aggressive" yellow grapefruit, but the more I tested, I didn't truly get much pink.  It smelled just spot on in the bottle, almost like you'd just cut into a fresh grapefruit, and tasting it, it was a little sweeter and mellow-er.  Now, even with that slight change from smelling to tasting, it still portrayed a very natural, somewhat juicy yellow grapefruit, JUST without some of the punch.  It had plenty of the main juicy body, with all of the little dividers, and you could almost smell the zest, citrus oil that is released when you peel one.  Whether or not the slight tempering (or taming) some of what could have been more aggressive notes is to your needs will depend.  I've never seen or tried (if it/they exist), but it made me wonder what canned (in light syrup) grapefruit sections would taste like.  At 1.5% it was good, but MIGHT be able to be pushed a little higher, maybe 2.0% without hitting the ceiling.  It was just above mid level sweet, and did finish with a rather complex citrus sparkle which was primarily a light lime note.  Not a lot, but just a little bit.  All in, a pretty impressive, natural tasting yellow grapefruit, slightly mellowed/tempered into a nice sweet non-aggressive package, with just a hint of lime on the finish.  It felt very good @ **8.85/10**.
