Inawera Shisha Lime [Flavor Review]
submitted over 8 years ago by twisted_dick

Setup: Goon 24 with 10-wrap SS316l 22ga dual coil and cellucotton wicks.

Testing: Inawera Shisha Lime @ 1% 70/30 6mg

Flavor Description: If you wanted to only have one lime flavor I feel that I could recommend this one to you. I get natural lime, creamy sherbet lime, and lime syrup from this. I don't know how they did it but i could see this working in all sorts of recipes. IMO this is better than FA Florida Key Lime, perhaps stronger flavor. Very round, full flavor from this. I really like it. Not as candy as Shisha Lemon either, definitely much more natural, but not quite like biting into a lime, more like drinking a virgin margarita, with the same creamy ice type feel i get from Shisha Lemon, but much more forgiving.

Off-flavors: None.

Throat Hit: not noticeable to me.

Uses and Pairings: I could definitely see this in a lot of bakeries, you could add some cream fresh and make it an excellent lemon sherbet, or maybe add some booze for a nice grown up beverage. I may experiment with making a key lime pie with this, but supposedly key lime is noticeably different than regular lime, and I don't have the tasting range to tell the difference, so other people might think it's not right. This isn't a sickeningly sweet syrup flavor, but i could see this working as the main lime in a cherry-lime slush. I definitely recommend you pick up this flavor though, it's not a must have but i do think it's very good.

Second Opinions: couldn't really find any good reviews, but it has 4.5 stars on ELR, so i guess i'm not off in saying it's great.

I love the Lime Shisha - it's the crowning flavor in my lime sorbet. I tried subbing it out with various different limes when I was low on the shisha - the whole thing just fell on it's ass :(

Have you had a chance to try Inaweras Lime Concentrate to make any comparisons? Sounds really good regardless as I feel my paypal account dwindling...hahahhahha. Thanks for the review.

I have not tried inawera like by itself, but I have used it in mixes, and I would say that my guess would be that this is more amenable to bakeries and creams.

Do you think these shisha citrus flavors would have a place in a Mamba candy type flavor?

Probably.
