"A melting doughnut with an acidity that illuminates the sweetness of a green apple compote". Actually, it's the apple filling that struck me most about the flavour choice, as I've never tasted a doughnut like this before.
In terms of smell, the sour smell of green apple is immediately identifiable, as well as a fried dough that could indeed be called a doughnut. Neither of the scents is too intrusive, but you can sense that apple is going to be the main thread in the product.
I followed the 15% ratio with the first blend, but unfortunately on tasting it produced a rather weak flavour. Changing the numbers, upping the flavour to 20%, the finished liquid was satisfactory, as was confirmed by the subsequent tasting. So you can safely start with the 20% mix.
The green apple flavour is refreshing and lively, typically tart and sharp. It is nicely enhanced and refined to deliver the most authentic experience possible. I think this is very well done by the producer. I wouldn't call it a "compote" as it is fresh, lively and has just the right amount of acidity. The doughnut is most noticeable on the exhale, taking a bit of a back seat to ground the flavour as this is what gives the dessert vapour experience. It draws out a dusting of powdered sugar and fried goodness that lends a slight sweetness to the dough. That said, after steaming, there's more of a sour taste left in your mouth, making it hard to decide if it's an apple filled doughnut or apple chunks with doughnut crumbs, or an apple cake.
Overall: The fruit is delicious, the acidity of the green apple is nicely brought out, the dough brings the flavour of the doughnut, powdery, like it's been sprinkled with brown sugar. However, if I want to picture the finished cake itself in my mind, I don't really know where to put the ingredients that go with it, what this creation might look like in reality.
