Arctic Grapefruit, a 6mg Velo with a sharp citrus streak
Half a grapefruit with sugar on top, the way it used to arrive at a seaside B&B, is roughly where this can begins. Arctic Grapefruit comes from Velo's Signature range, the Swedish side of the brand, and it carried the name Frosty Grapefruit before Velo renamed its flavours. Velo is BAT's nicotine pouch brand, born in Sweden. The can pairs grapefruit with a touch of peppermint, and that pairing is what gives it its own place on the shelf. No messing about, it is citrus first and last.
Sweet, sour, a bittersweet twist, then a breath of peppermint
The maker sums the flavour up as sweet, sour and bitter notes from grapefruit with a touch of peppermint, and that is the order it arrives in. The sweetness comes first, then the sourness of the pink flesh, then that grown up bittersweet edge from the pith. Behind it, the peppermint adds a light, fresh lift, more a breeze than a chill. The citrus holds its shape through the load and the finish is clean and zesty, like the first sip of a grapefruit soda in a beer garden. Proper refreshing.
6mg a pouch, one rung above Velo's lightest
Each pouch carries 6mg of nicotine, which puts it in our light band, 1mg to 8mg. Velo's shelf runs in three lines, Lower Strength from 4mg to 8mg, Regular Strength at 10mg and 10.9mg, and Full Strength from 14mg to 17mg, and this can sits near the bottom of the first. Below it is Purple Grape at 4mg. Alongside it at 6mg are Green Spearmint, Ruby Berry, Tropical Mango and Wintery Watermelon, and just above, the 8mg cans begin. Slim pouches, 20 to a can. In snus terms, light on the number and lively on the flavour.

Citrus lovers, and the Velo cans next door
This one suits anyone who likes their fruit sharp rather than sugary, and anyone who wants a light snus with a flavour that wakes up the gum. It works for people who reach for grapefruit juice over orange, and for mint regulars curious about a fruit that keeps a little peppermint in the mix. Ready for a citrus can with more behind it? Velo Lime Flame 8mg brings zesty lime with a warming feel. Want a rounder fruit at the same number? Velo Tropical Mango 6mg. Give it a go.
