I read a thread somewhere on this forum about the change in taste of their recent ry4 compared to an older bottle. He/she claimed that the new ry4 tasted nothing like the original and it made me question my bottle that I received just a couple of days ago. This is my first time ordering juices from FS USA and I have no idea what it's supposed to taste/look like. When I first got the bottle (with extra flavoring), it was a light brownish color and now it's extremely brown, almost black. As for the flavor, I get a syrup taste with a hint of tobacco. I was actually a little disappointed when I first got it because the flavor just didn't match up to all the hype. So now, after reading that thread, I'm thinking.. maybe my bottle isn't what it should be or I need to let it steep more. I think it's only been about 4 days so maybe I should let it steep more. Would removing the lid make a difference or is it just a matter of time or both?
