A can of ZIXS Melon Rush 12mg

Melon, and plenty of it

Melon is one of those flavours that doesn't get enough cans, so it's a treat to find a proper one. ZIXS Melon Rush is a sweet melon snus from the brand's 12mg Standard Line, made by Microzero AB in Gothenburg, Sweden. The maker is a family business with its own factory and its own flavour lab, which is probably why the melon tastes like melon and not like a vague idea of fruit. Every pouch carries 12mg, which lands it in the medium band on our scale. Fresh, sweet and summery. The sort of can that makes a grey Tuesday feel a bit more like July.

What it tastes like

Tastes like the first slice of melon from a cold fruit salad, the one everybody reaches for. The sweetness is light rather than syrupy, and it has that watery freshness that melon brings to the table. There's no mint in the can, so it's the fruit doing all the refreshing on its own. It stays bright from the first pouch to the last without turning sticky. Melon that tastes of melon is a simple ask, and this answers it. A sunny, easygoing flavour.

How strong it is

Each pouch carries 12mg of nicotine, which is medium on our scale, the band that runs from 8mg to 16mg. It's the strength the whole ZIXS 12mg Standard Line shares, so Melon Rush sits level with Cola Buzz, Strawberry Lime and Blue Chili. The pouches are all white and contain no tobacco, made in the maker's Gothenburg factory. If you already use snus most days, 12mg is a very livable number. The flavour is light but the strength is solidly medium, which is a nice pairing. Summer flavour, everyday strength.

Who it is for

Melon Rush suits anyone who likes fresh, light fruit flavours and uses snus regularly enough to be comfortable in the medium band. It's a lovely daytime can, the sort you reach for when the afternoon needs brightening. If you've been a fan of melon sweets since childhood, consider this your can.

For something sharper at the same 12mg, Strawberry Lime is next door in the line, and Blue Chili brings blueberry with a chilli warmth. Cola Buzz covers the sweet shop end. If melon's your fruit, though, there's no decision to make. Start with this one.
