Thanks, Dman, for yet another thorough rundown of some pretty good looking concentrates. ![]()
Youāre welcome @whthek, and thank you.
Fruit Loops (Duomei) 1.0%/1.4% (6-9-23) ā ANY of you Loopers out there who have tried most of the offerings know how most of them fall short. Iām ALWAYS up to see whoās going to try and get it right NEXT. Itās not often upon the FIRST taste, that I can exactly nail down the ONE thing that would make a flavor perfect, but I DID, with this one. This one smelled REALLY good out of the bottle, and when finger testing, AND that continued when testing it. It was probably the most spot on Fruit Loops flavor from any manufacturer, EXCEPT, for one thing. The grain. It was VERY light in the mix, and because the REST of the flavor profile(s) were SO good, the missing grain WAS noticeable. Now, was that a flavor killer ?? Hellz to the No, this was a GREAT loops flavor regardless. It really perfectly captured the dominant lemon, with a lighter orange, and SOME grainy-ness, and the associated ācerealā notes. The sweetness, while almost bordering on high, did perfectly mimic the cereal, and the āsugar lipsā effect, and I would rate it a few ticks above mid-level sweet. For a test, I did boost it up to 1.4%, and it actually got even better (I didnāt think that would be possible), but the cereal grains still stayed very low in the mix. As I continued through 3 testers LOOKING for any weaknesses, off-notes, or mark downs, I could not find a single complaint or issue. The lemon while higher in the mix, was VERY nicely done, without approaching āLemon Pledgeā, or becoming fatiguing. The only thing stopping it from being a āRelease the Krakenā 10/10, was the very light cereal grains. Thsi OBVIOUSLY could very easily be fixed, with little to no effort by pairing with CAPās Silverline Fruit Circles, which had outstanding cereal grains. Now, the hard part. For a flavor that soo many have tried to capture, with soo few successes, how to rate this one, WITH the light grains. I toiled over this for quite a while before the third tester ran dry, and I finally settled on a 9.1/10. If you love the loops, and have some Silverline Fruit Circles, just buy the BIG BOTTLE now, and consider your Loopity Looper Loops DONE.
I donāt know how he did it, but @lukeloop figured it out. Somehow, and on multiple sites, I omitted the Duomei Fruit Loops review.
Luke, sharp eyes mate. I exceeded the max character limit above in the OG review, but have posted the flavor review, and linked to it in the OG post. Thank you mate.
Well LOOP is in my name so there is always that.![]()
