FA Liquid Amber [Flavor Review]
submitted about 9 years ago by wh1skeyk1ngDiketones, Schmiketones

Setup: Plume Veil RDA; dual parallel @ .40Ω; cotton wicks; 50W

Testing: FA Liquid Amber @ 2%; Aged: 17 days

Flavor description: Tart, fermented, slightly bitter white or green fruit, like a dry white wine. Very slight sweetness along with a decent sour note. Also gives a bit of a warming sensation on the tongue.

Off-flavors: The sour tartness might be off-putting, but I feel it is part of what the concentrate is.

Throat hit: 6/10

Uses: Fermented accent to fruits @0.5-2%. Could also be used to add a sour note or tartness to a bakery/dessert recipe containing fruits.

Pairings: Mainly fruits. Also cinnamon, caramel, or maybe brown sugar.

Notes: I have to say this isn't really comparable to FA Brandy as I've seen others state. FA Liquid Amber is much more potent, sour, bitter, and gives a heavy fermented accent to a recipe, especially with fruits. FA Brandy seems to be much sweeter and more creamy with a slight white/green fruit back note.

Would you look at that. The lone FA review, I'll be damned. Is he on his DIY cruise right now or what? I've been wanting to talk to him.

In my experience this works very well with Fuji Apple FA for an Apple Cider donut recipe I've been working on. Don't match the % with Fuji Apple though try about 1/2-2/3.
