Haribo Primavera is a marshmallowy strawberry treat.
Primavera is somewhat like a marshmallow Peep - you know, those little yellow chicks? - with a harder exterior and different flavor. We have a somewhat dense marshmallow with a somewhat thick crust/skin, covered in adorable pink sugar.
Primavera is an easy to eat Haribo, and melts away in your mouth quickly. The taste is alright, but I would be lying if I claimed it resembles actual strawberries. It strikes me as somewhat artificial, as opposed to other Haribo varieties that use real fruit juice as flavoring.
In fact, it's a little boring. This isn't a variety that someone could enjoy an entire bag of - after a handful, you decide to end the ordeal and move on to something better.
I give it a 2.5 out of 5
I enjoy your Haribo critiques very much. But do the varieties also have distinct odor as well as taste, visual, and textural attributes? I've been taste-testing and comparing some new ales lately, and I've found that the odor (or bouquet) is a worthy distinction to note. Ale also typically leaves an aftertaste that is different from the first sensation of flavor. The additional complexity of an enjoyable bouquet or distinct aftertaste often distinguishes the merely good from the exceptional. Don't know if that's true for Haribo. Just sayin'.
