24 ounce can from Woodman's Oak Creek. Looks like pulpy orange juice. No head. Aroma of orange, bubblegum, vanilla. Taste is tart juicy orange, nothing else. Very tart, probably to mask any hint that this actually contains alcohol. Thin. Terrible beer, but a solid O.J.

Pours orange from the 24 ounce can.

Orange citrus and some alcohol in the smell.

Orange flavour, mostly sweet but with a slight tartness. Alcohol is noticeable just because how much this reminds me of juice and not a malt liquor flavoured with oranges; iow, it's not boozy.

This defies my definition of a malt liquor but to me, it's drinkable. Not even all that bad. How's that for a recommendation!
