Flavor Properties

Super sweet very artificial candy banana, not very creamy but it does have a smoothness to it.

Relatable Flavors

I've heard this compared to Banana runts I think that is extremely accurate, I would also throw in banana flavored Laffy Taffy.

Position In The Recipe

As a base note in a candy recipes, or it can be used as an accent to sweet another banana flavorings.

Pairings

Other banana flavoring, strawberries, candies, creams, and a few bakeries like cookie.

Recipe

Obviously not my recipe but a great application using this flavoring.

Notes

Rumor is Laura Ann's flavorings is not going to be cooperating with FDA Master list, not sure if this means the colorless concentrates will still be available, so if you enjoy this flavor you may want to pick up a large amount before the regs drop.

Here is a Wikipedia on runts candy, and Isoamyl acetate. I believe is the main ingredient in most banana flavorings along with link to make it easy to find.

Please if your opinion differs, or you have another review for this post it in the comments. Will help the master list with multiple reviews in one spot.

Rich, the gremlin, has said they will continue to carry colorless LA flavorings.

Happy to pass along the info. I cant find the post but it was on ECR and about the companies who use flavor manufactures who do not plan to submit ingredient lists to the FDA.

LA Banana Cream does taste like banana Laffy Taffy; TFA Banana Cream is the more Runty of the two. FA Banana combines very well with LA Banana Cream to result in a more realistic banana cream flavor.

~~I'm very disappointed in you. First you won't taste jizz, now you're not even using your own recipes with your flavor reviews. Just think of the picture you could have found for this one. Banana. Cream. What a wasted opportunity. Tsk Tsk Tsk.~~ Excellent review, appreciate all your efforts, you da man

Not picking the lowest-hanging fruit. That's highly admirable. Rescinded part of my comment accordingly.

I took TFA Banana Ripe out. I did't feel like it was adding anything.

Sounds a lot like TFA Banana Ripe. Shits potent and the smell never leaves the plastic bottle.

My best banana recipe so far has 5% LA Banana Cream with 0.4% TFA Banana Ripe, that combo works perfect for me.

I've tried a few times with this flavor but it always has a burn plastic taste to it.

It tastes absolutely foul and completely turns me off from using it.

I never experienced that what percentage are you using it

The nana cream clones usually use it at 7% i believe.

That's the only time I've used it.

Thanks people stop posting off flavors they were getting from stuff after I made fun of how much cardboard people seem to eat but it is valuable information

I've used it at 7% before and I didn't taste burnt plastic at all, however the banana flavor was a bit overpowering which was annoying.

I was using it at max VG and wasn't using LA Banana cream clear (mine had the yellow food dye in it). Maybe you got a flavoring that was either new or had sat on the shelf for far too long perhaps not steeped or fully steeped?

What off flavors do you get with it?

You're the only other person I know of that I've heard of that gets a weird flavor with it.

I get a weird plastic sort of taste. I have tried it between 2 and 8 percent and it did not ever taste good.
