Comments on the taste of the juice
Malaysian Strawberry Liquid is a fruity type juice with flavors of wild strawberry and fresh mango. When opening the bottle, a sweet fruity scent is felt even if the scents seem rather weak. In terms of taste, the aromatic power of fresh mango is present and tastefully faithful, moreover it is the only flavor that stands out. Indeed, the flavors of wild strawberries are much more difficult to perceive, certainly crushed by those of the mango, they bring a subtle “acidity” to the composition.
The freshness of the juice is present, it is of the “natural” type and seems to be caused by the aromas of the fresh mango, this touch of the recipe is fairly well balanced, the freshness is not too aggressive. The sweet freshness of Malaysian Strawberry makes it quite light, refreshing and not sickening.
