This extract has a very natural flavor. It enhanced the lemon zest and lemon juice in my recipe rather than adding an artificial flavor. I will use it again when I need an extra touch of lemon.

I don't use this extract for its conventional purpose of baking; i use it as a medium to apply different edible paints to cakes and cake decor. It evaporates fast and doesnt leave any color or real smell behind. It's serving its purpose so far.

Shank's 8 fl. oz. Pure Lemon Extract is a fantastic addition to any kitchen! Its vibrant, tart, and slightly floral flavor enhances cakes, cookies, lemon meringue pies, and even stir-fries or beverages like smoothies and teas

The Shanks' Lemon Extract is lovely! I've had other brands of lemon extract that have come across as really fake but the Shank's brand is absolutely delicious and perfect for both simple syrups and also baked goods. It adds a bright lemony flavor to anything. The entire Shank's line is lovely. Highly recommend them!

This is the only extract we use for all of our lemon baked items. This extract flavors our lemon loaf and lemon layer cake perfectly and the flavor in the cake tastes delicious. This is the only brand we use.

This Lemon extract is a great bulk option and adds a great lemon flavor to whatever you are using it for. I love the price on this item also. Most people use lemon extract for baking. We use it for making smoothies and it tastes really good. For a 24 oz smoothie we only need half a teaspoon to add a good flavor.

Here at Delicious Delights Cafe we pride ourselves in providing high quality baked goods to our customers. Now that we discovered Shanks extracts we use them exclusively. I love the clean crisp flavors and the fact that they are clear in color. This lemon extract taste like sunshine. Every time I make lemon cupcakes they sell out.

Like all Shanks extracts, this is a very subtle lemon. They do a great job of not giving you that synthetic aftertaste, but not a BANG in your face lemon flavor. Pairs very well with fresh lemon zest and juice.

I agree with some of the reviewers that this lemon extract is a little on the mild side and I need to use about 1/3 more to get the flavor I want. Even so, the flavor is a very bright and natural lemon flavor. Since the price is low enough I will probably reorder this item when necessary.

This extract has a very smooth taste. It is not too strong and overbearing like other lemon extract brands. With that being said, you may need to use a little more than with other brands due to its mild flavor. However, once you find your desired amount it makes your desserts quite delicious without the harsh alcohol aftertaste.

Good product.. smells and tastes great. Clear extract won't change the color of your buttercream etc.. I like these because of the size and price. You cant get 8 oz containers at the supermarket and I bake every week. Would buy again.

I'm very disappointed in this lemon extract, it's not strong at all. I can barely smell the lemon flavor even straight from the bottle, and adding several teaspoons to my batch of cookies was unnoticeable. I had to resort to lemon oil which is so much more potent. At least it doesn't taste bad, it just...doesn't really taste like much.

We appreciate your feedback! We’re sorry this is defective. A Customer Solutions Representative will be contacting you soon.

I HAVE FOUND THAT Shank's 8 oz. Pure Lemon Extract IS OF THE BEST QUALITY AND THE BEST PRICE VALUE IN COMPARISON TO OTHERS I HAVE TRIED. MY CANDIES AND BAKE GOODS WERE BOLDLY TASTEFUL USING JUST SMALL AMOUNTS. BOTTLES CAME SAFELY PACKED, EVEN CAME WITH GRIPPER TAPE AROUND THE CAPS/NO LEAKAGE OR BREAKAGE.
