Had this once before on a quick stop for tasters in April and really liked this one, giving it a 4.25. At the time wrote, “Orange creamscicle in the mouth. Like perfect. That or that old orange Airhead candy that I remember. So smooth.” Hoping the actual review comes out to something similar.
Poured a deep golden yellow, orange, cloudy color with 2-to-3 fingers of frothy, white head, which thinned out quickly. Excellent even, circular webby lacing. Decent retention. (Sight - 4.00)
Smelled orange creamscicle, orange blossom, floral notes, pulpy orange juice and Airhead orange candy. (Smell - 4.00)
Taste was even better than the nose, just so good on the lips. Straight orange creamscicle. Also orange blossom, orange Air Heads or orange Starburst and pulpy orange juice. Best part was the first taste. (Taste - 4.25)
Light body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long, citrusy, juicy finish. (Feel - 3.75)
Really liked this overall, but not as good as the taster I had last April. Great for this hot summer day. (Overall - 4.00)
