I picked up some lemon meringue flavor,as i love the real pie,but is it just me or does just not taste like what it's supposed to.I get a hint of lemon,but instead of anything close to meringue,i am getting a really strong nutty taste.I mixed it first at 5% and after steeping it a bit over a week,i noticed the nutty taste,but everything else was really weak,so i bumped it to 10% and same thing just more of the lemon came through,but over all still very nutty tasting.Any suggestions on how to get it to what it's supposed to taste like?

I've tried some and found the "crust" flavor was far too strong for the lemon also. I mixed some equally with Hangsen Lemon flavoring and a very small touch of Sour flavoring. It improved it, but still not as good as a real piece of pie... mmm, lemon meringue pie.....
Been a while since I tasted it, but I found this too. Almost no lemon.
Sorry, I didn't see Capella's in the title... FA's Lemon Sicily is is best and leanest lemon I've found. Maybe a little to bump up the lemon. FA has a meringue too, but it's more of the cookie than what's on a pie... I'm not sure how to get that pie meringue (though I'd <3 to know!).
The Capella's seems to have the crust down pat, and enough sweetness for the meringue just needs the lemon boost. Is the FA Lemon Sicily a nice sour, tart lemon? Not heavy sweetness?
To me, it's a very bright flavored lemon. Not really tart, but not at all overly sweet for me. I like it.
I agree.. It's not really sweet or sour, but it's not the "Rind-y' bitter lemon you get in alot of juices. It's a very clean neutral lemon...
Guess tastes vary as much as with pre-mixed juices....
I like the tart "Rind-y' bitter lemon I get with Hansen my self.
Hadn't tried Hansen. I could probably live with a little zest flavor. Just not a fan of the pithy lemon flavor. And yeah hard to believe but no two people will ever agree exactly when it comes to taste... In a way it makes things more fun I suppose.
That one sounds good.I didn't know fa had a meringue flavor,but then again i have just started looking into getting some of their flavors,so i will add all those to the list.If yours is anything close to the taste of the pie,i will be a happy person haha.I was definitely a bit dissapointed in the capella one,as lemon meringue pie is my favorite type of pie.
