The name on the can is Juice Life, an orange creamsicle fruited kettle sour. This batch is a 4.5% abv.
Orange soda color, nearly clear. There's brief head that completely disappears quickly. No lacing.
Strong, sweet orange nose. With the lighter vanilla, it definitely smells like a creamsicle. No notable sourness nor malt smells.
Spritzy carbonation but with a richer mouthfeel than expected. It's very sweet on the tongue. Even with some sourness in the background, this is closer to an Orange Soda than a wild ale kettle sour--too much so. It's really undrinkable for me. I'll end up pouring this down drain. I keep taking smaller sips to see if I can find anything redeemable. Sorry, it's a clear pass.
