16 oz can into a tulip glass.
Pours a hazy lemonade color with a finger of white head. No retention or lacing as expected for the style. Not a good color, especially for a beer called "Orange Creamsicle".
The aroma is...barely existent. Smells like an orange cough drop wafting from 8 feet away. Maybe some tannic acid? It's not a terrible smell, it's just so faint it might as well be an orange fart in the wind.
The flavor is...shockingly on point. It tastes more like orange sherbet but tomatoes tomatos. Unfortunately that's it. It's not very tart. It's kinda like an orange cream soda. Definitely interesting, but not really anything special. Even for such an open style, this one just doesn't feel right.
The feel is medium-light bodied with pretty good carbonation. About right for the style.
Overall, definitely not a fan of this one. I can't really call it "bad", I just have a hard time calling it "beer". It really drinks more like a soda or seltzer or something. Definitely pass if you're expecting a decent berliner.

Pours from 16 ounce can a slightly cloudy, pale yellow with no head to speak of. Seems to fit the style.
The aroma is one note - orange. Ok, so that is probably true to the style if it is "pre-flavored".
The taste opens quite sour with a wallop of orange. Thats it, though. There is no trace of the "cream" part that the name implies and no sign of even the mildest of malts usually found in the style. As it warms, the sour actually fades away and the beer ends up tasting like very dilute orange juice. No bitterness.
The beer is well carbonated and light as it should be.
Overall, this hits some of the style markers. But the overall impression is not very impressive! The beer ends up being quite lackluster and I would say insipid on the taste. Good marks for hitting some of the style characteristics, bit misses on some as well. Not a good effort in my opinion. Just call it orange...there is nothing reminiscent of an orange "Creamsicle" here.
