What Our Editors Thought
Orange Creamsicle nose, alluring without overdoing it. The sip is round: tongue-coating oily orange grounded by faint, earthy vanilla—almost sub-threshold, there for softness. Bright carbonation and crisp orange make a quick exit.
What Our Panel Thought
Ah, for the glory days of Orange Julius: orange Creamsicle aroma with citrus-oil edge, softened by light vanilla. On the sip, the orange is fairly assertive, finishing with a wash of clean, dry, cream soda. Nice carbonic bite. Vanilla and orange never quite sync.
What the Brewers Say
Brewed with orange zest and a little vanilla, with flavors evoking a crisp orange cream soda.
