Cold filtration w/premium strawberry...bitter aftertaste?

[mister69]

Is this common?

Any wpi that doesn't have it?

I have a bunch of recession WPI/WPC and mix up various flavors in 5lb jugs and don't get a bitter aftertaste. One thing I learned however is that the Vanilla Birthday cake is STRONG, at least for my taste, but when I use less flavoring the full flavor seems to come out better. I started using a combo of vanilla birthday cake and any other kind of vanilla (using about 1/2 the regular amount of each) to get a rich birthday cake taste.

Premium, with no extra sweeter.

I think natural premium use stevia...so thought it was that....

I had a friend have this issue with some premium strawberry cheesecake flavored wpi cold filtration. TP took care of it and replaced it. I can't imagine why this would have happened.

Whatever it is, it's the flavoring. Whey CF just by itself is very clean and I never detected a taste from just the plain whey.

Thanks sammich.

Guess its the strawberry premium flavoring.

DAMN! And I won the auction with the strawberry blend. I'll report back on the flavoring after I give it try.

The flavor I won was the strawberry coconut. I just had a shake with with it using 1 2/3 70cc scoops (roughly 50g of powder) using about 16oz. water and several ice cubes. I haven't had a strawberry flavored shake in a while and this was very good. The cocnut is not too strong and if there was any kind of bitter aftertaste from the strawberry this flavor masks the bitterness. It also mixed up very easily with no clumping (and I do not use a screen in my shaker bottles). I'd say this flavor is definitely worth the try if you are into fruit flavored shakes.
