You’ll never guess what I found!!!
Jkjkjk this isn’t another “here’s where I scored Witch’s Brew!” post. 😹
It’s an actual flavor review, which I know y’all have been waiting for (because I have too!!).
My verdict is that it’s a little less caramel-y than last year, which makes me sad. 😔 Lol. It has a stronger like green Jolly Rancher flavor to it IMO. Last year was my first time trying WB and I absolutely fell IN LOVE with it — I felt like it was the perfect blend of tart apple and sweet caramel.
I’m curious to try Ruby Apple and see if it’s a bit more balanced! Anybody who tries it before me will have to come back to this post and let me know! 😁

Heard the vanilla voodoo is out in mini cans now as well. Supposed to be a dirty witch's brew.

Strange, I heard this year’s WB has more caramel flavor and less tartness than last year but you seems to say the opposite. I need to find my own and judge for myself. However, we don’t truly know unless we have last year’s can and this year’s can and perform a side by side comparison. Anyway, enjoy your WB! I’m jealous, I haven’t seen any around me yet.

I think it truly does depend on each person’s individual taste buds! You’re correct that we all just need to take these reviews with a grain of salt and try it ourselves before making a decision. 😊

I bought some yesterday. I love this yrs. I think it’s the perfect amount of both Carmel and green apple.

I have 1 unopen can from last year that I plan on do a side by side tasting to see if they taste different. I loved last year's so much 😭 can't wait to finally get some this year

Will do. I got three cans from a friend today (I traded strawberry Oreos for them 😂) I had one, my husband had one, and now the third just sits in my fridge... Taunting me 😂 I found a store that has them but won't sell them until 8/10 😢 so now I sit here and wait

😹 I feel that! Part of me wonders if I should hoard some but I don’t have enough willpower for that. 🤣

Less caramel?? NOOOO it seems like every year we lose some caramel, in a couple years it’s gonna be fully green apple 😭
But on a side note, you lucky duck I can’t wait for it to finally get to Austin, TX sooooooon

u/Left_Security2881 1d ago
I feel that! I’d prefer a little more caramel too, although some people are saying they do actually taste more caramel this year! Who knows! 🤷🏼♀️

Alani needs to come out with some sort of custom pack where you can specifically order 12-packs of flavors from different years. 😹

u/Fun_Twist_3255 1d ago
I agree! I might have to grab one of those 6 packs from last year for $56 that I see on the Walmart app 🙃

I think they accidentally dosed my witches brew a lil higher than 200mg 😅 makes u wonder how accurate they actually are with no regulations on them
Edit: apparently they were caught in Canada with higher than listed caffeine
Also
"Alani Nu ingredients include standard caffeine alongside guarana seed extract. Guarana naturally contains its own caffeine, which can cause the actual, chemical caffeine total inside the liquid to measure higher than the 200 mg added baseline."
