I'm actually a very light drinker and have been looking for bitters mainly to liven up the flavor of plain seltzer water. I've tried about 10 different varieties/brands of bitters before this one and the only one that stood out so far was Angostura bitters (even better with lime).
The great things about this brand, unlike other bitters, is that the main flavor really comes through strong. Many other bitters taste strongly of the other spices, herbs, and other flavorings that are in it. That is sometimes advantageous for mixed drinks but doesn't work well with seltzer. Scrappy's does have some background notes but they are actually in the background.
The grapefruit bitters is another level. It tastes nothing like any grapefruit flavored water you've ever had and that's a good thing. Such clean flavoring. Warning though.... you won't be able to drink canned grapefruit seltzer after having it. It makes the store-bought grapefruit seltzer taste unsophisticated and almost artificial. It's single-handedly responsible for increasing my water intake.
Lime is also fantastic. I now much prefer it to the Simply Lime dehydrated lime packets I was using before.
I'm not a huge lemon flavored seltzer fan, which is probably why I didn't love the Black Lemon flavor. The flavor is very lemon forward and is probably closest to and actual fresh squeezed fruit than the others.
Orange was not very good at first but grew on me. It's more of a candied/marmalade flavor. I'll definitely try the Seville Orange soon as it is supposed to be more tart.
I will update as I try new flavors.
TLDR:
---Ratings for Seltzer flavoring---
Grapefruit: 10/10 !
Lime: 8.5/10
Orange: 6/10
Black Lemon: 5.5/10
