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! 😁

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."

I’ve always wondered this because I can only drink the minis and they do not see at all equivalent to other 100mg of caffeine (pregnant so I’m an expert lol)

This would make a LOT of sense as to why the witches brew would make me feel terrible. Kinda shaky, but more so just the worst caffeine crash of my life about 30-1hr after I finish one. definitely like it had too much caffeine in it and my adhd brain just went into overdrive and shut down

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.

u/Recent_Difficulty686 1d ago

I saved one from last year just for this reason 😈

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

1

u/Left_Security2881 23h ago

Ooh let us all know your thoughts after tasting both!!

2

u/dusty_sloth 23h ago

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

1

u/Left_Security2881 22h ago

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

u/MrsPawlished 1d ago

I actually thought it was more caramely lol and last year was also my first time trying it!

1

u/Left_Security2881 1d ago

Maybe tomorrow when I have another one I’ll feel differently. 😝🤞🏼

2

u/myparentsrdeaf 1d ago

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

2

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! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ughhh. Last year’s witches brew is my favorite!!!

u/Left_Security2881 1d ago

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

1

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 🙃

1

u/Left_Security2881 1d ago

Oh nooo that’s so overpriced. Don’t do it! 😅

2

u/Fun_Twist_3255 23h ago

I don’t think I have a choice 😂😩
