**Glazed Doughnut (FLAVRZ) 5% / 8% (4-22-23)** -- How many doughnuts have I tested over the years ?? Too many LOL. Seldom to they work out, so we'll see what happens with THIS one. Smelling it in the bottle, I THOUGHT I might have gotten a whiff of Play Doh", BUT, when testing it, this was NOT the case. This WAS like NO doughnut I've tried thus far. It had a VERY unique approach, and it almost tasted like a slightly fried, white cake-y doughnut. At the lower 5% weight, I THOUGHT I could tell where FLAVRZ was going with this one, but it was kind of murky, and not as "full throttled", but stepping it up to 8%, proved that the slightly fried, very slightly doughy, white cake-y method WAS what they were after. The glazed aspect came through loud and clear at both testing weights, but the main body seemed to work better at 8%. Now, this approach may or may not appeal to you, but it's an interestingly different approach to a doughnut, at least as in comparison to those I've tested thus far. At the higher weight, there were no off-notes, no flavor bending, and the light, white cakey-ness came through in spades. No darker, deep fried, greasy, or cinnamon-y notes here, but a fairly mid weight doughnut that was centered around a white cake element. I think the closest comparison I could find would be a [Little Debbie Powdered Donut](https://www.target.com/p/little-debbie-mini-powdered-donuts-10oz/-/A-14774310), BUT, with most (not all) of the powdered sugar removed, and a glazed topping in. Hard to rate donuts for EVERY user, as everyone seems to have a different want/need. I think with the lightly fried, white cake-d main notes, and no yeasty-ness, it will appeal to many who were/are turned off by higher levels of yeast, and or greasy fried notes. With that said, I think that **8.0/10** fits the bill here.
