Unlike ordinary sugary lemon drops, these lemon drops pack a powerful dose of real lemon taste in a small candy. They drops are not shaped like tiny lemons, they are circular. They also lack the sugar coating most ordinary lemon drops have. But they offer a truer lemon taste. Just don't try to eat them fast. Each drop are meant to be enjoyed until it completely dissolves.

These lemon drops are very lemony tasting but a little too much on the lemon peel side of the flavor spectrum which causes a bitter taste. There is an initial burst of lemon juice that gives way to the lemon peel flavor. Then the bitter peel flavor takes over & beats up your taste buds. Some may like this but I find it a little unpleasant.

I love lemon in just about every form; the more tart, the better, but won't buy this flavor again. I enjoy lemon in candy, scents, cookies, savory dishes, etc. Yummy Earth makes very good candy using simple ingredients like fruit juice & cane sugar; no High Fructose Corn Syrup in these. My personal favorite is the cherry flavor which has plenty of tart but no bitter.

My favorite lemon drop. Very tart and flavorful. My last 4 bags lasted me quite a few months so I would say the value is there. If you're a fan of lemon hard candy then you can't go wrong here.

These candies are more bitter than sweet, they taste more like lemon peel than lemon.
