Comments on the packaging
Alfaliquid is to date the first brand of e-liquids in France. The reason ? A proposal going both towards first-time vapers with the traditional range, the oldest in France, and towards confirmed vapers with the Dark Story range. Not to mention a welcome attention for beginners allergic to PG with a Silverway range built around vegetol instead of the incriminating product as well as a range dedicated to tobacco with Alfasiempre. In all, nearly 138 references, from the simplest to the most complex.
Well, there's no need to say, it poses.
We therefore find ourselves on the Dark Story range with an e-liquid responding to the sweet name of Crispy Brew, a crisp infusion in French in the text, but it's less rock. As traditionally for the brand, there is no gray area concerning the informative mentions. It's all good, clear, orderly, consistent. A story that works flawlessly. Alfa is broken in, you can tell.

Comments on the packaging
So we have a colored glass bottle of black, the red thread of the range, on which is glued a good quality label.
In addition to the mentions of which we have already spoken, the label shows us a charming parrot (or a macaw or a mynah or a pigeon, well any bird ...) in the foreground, perched on the name of the liquid with a drop in the background of milk. It's pretty, fresh, in my opinion it evokes more exoticism than a crispy breakfast, but the great interest of this illustration is to differentiate this liquid from others in the range and it succeeds without problem.
Alfaliquid does not show a frenzied aestheticism with this product but in any case, it is far from being unpleasant to look at and it fits easily both in the DNA of the range and in the price section.

Comments on the taste of the juice
Crispy Brew is very pleasant to vape and will easily convince aficionados of “cereal breakfast” recipes.
Indeed, the cereal is queen here. A cereal marked wheat / oats, nicely covered with a nice milky vanilla thickness which brings all the greedy aspect to the assembly. This could undoubtedly be a bit heavy, but a lemon twist gives the dish a bit of pep, enough to invigorate the whole without overly acidifying it.
The icing on the cake, from time to time, a scent of caramel comes to titillate the nostrils, so rare that we appreciate the surprise while regretting its rarity.
The recipe is balanced, each aroma remains distinct, a sign of their quality and a precise blend. The hit is average, the vapor corresponds to the displayed PG / VG ratio and the length in the mouth favors lemony reminiscences. A good e-liquid of the kind whose only flaw is to arrive in this market segment perhaps a little late. But its qualities being real, they will undoubtedly compensate for this setback.

Comments and recommendations for an optimal tasting
Crispy Brew is not rocket fuel! To vape at reasonable powers therefore because, by scrolling through the watts, the lemon takes a little too much confidence and camouflages its recipe colleagues. A warm temperature will allow all these beautiful people to live together serenely without stepping on each other. The PG / VG ratio makes it compatible with any type of atomizer or clearomizer and incompatible with a competitive activity in the generation of cumulonimbus.

My mood ticket on this juice
A real good e-liquid, without misleading claims or approximations.
The taste is interesting and simple, even if the recipe, perfectly balanced, had to be complex to elaborate. An ideal candidate for your cloudy mornings that puts a smile on your face and wakes you up without rushing.
Still a good Dark Story in a range that starts to count a lot.
