**Strawberry Ripe (FLAVRZ) 8% (7-20-23)** -- Trying to get the average user to define what type" of Strawberry one is, can be hard, and often times it's just as hard for reviewers. Having just tested FLAVRZ's Sweet SB, I was able to directly compare this one to it. This one tasted much less like a "Ripe" Strawberry, and much MORE like a Red, Juicy SB. Now are hairs being split here ?? Perhaps. In comparison, this one tasted FAR more juicy, red, and sweet than the aforementioned. It tasted like a 75% natural / 25% artificial split. I don't know how to exactly explain "ripe-ness" but I didn't get a lot of it here. BUT, the juicy red-ness was there in great quantity. Although it was sweet, it wasn't candied, or jammed. Fairly fresh, and was very tasty. Not much tart in this one, which MAY be why it didn't lean towards the ripe, but that's a matter of tastes. Fresh, juicy, and red were the take-aways with this one. It was good at 8%, but felt like it could use a little more. No off-notes, no soaps, no florals, and no real take-offs BUT for the lacking "ripe". At times I almost thought it was a pairing of sliced strawberries, and strawberries in a light syrup. Very tasty, just not a lot of tarty punch. Clean and accurate, and I'll rate it up a bit, with only the lacking ripe notes as take-offs. It felt great at a **8.75/10**."
