XQS Slim – Berrynana Twist Strong 8mg

Strawberry and creamy banana share the pouch in XQS Berrynana Twist 8mg, a Strong slim that tastes closer to a smoothie than to fresh fruit. XQS names exactly two flavours on this one, strawberry and banana, with no mint or cooling agent in the mix. Every can contains 20 pouches.

Berries first, banana behind

The berry note opens the pouch and gives it a light, jammy brightness. Banana follows more slowly and rounds off the edges, adding the soft, creamy body where the twist comes in. Without anything icy in the recipe, the finish stays mellow, which makes it an easy flavour to keep in for a while. XQS writes the name as BerryNana Twist, which neatly sums up the recipe.

XQS Berrynana Twist against its banana and strawberry siblings

Two other cans in the range share one half of this blend. XQS Dark Banana Strong 8mg keeps the banana but swaps the berries for cocoa, so it reads richer and more dessert-like. XQS Strawberry Kiwi Strong 8mg keeps the strawberry and adds tangy kiwi instead of creamy fruit. All three sit at 8mg and 16mg per gram, so you are choosing purely on taste. If you are unsure which half you prefer, trying Berrynana first tells you whether banana or strawberry is the draw.

When a sweet 8mg pouch fits

A dessert-leaning flavour like this suits a slow afternoon or the stretch after dinner, when something sweet feels right. At the brand’s Strong level it is firm enough for regular users, without the jump to Ultra. XQS Berrynana Twist 8mg rates 4 of 6 on that scale and uses the standard 0.5g slim pouch, 10g to a can.
