Another in my mini bottle tasting series:
Tang on the nose--the powdered kind that went to space with our astronauts. OK, Tang and floral orange soda. Childhood sensory memories. First sip. Hey, someone didn't put enough Tang powder in the water! But then I always liked my Tang 2:1, supercharged, so you drank and chewed the undissolved crystals. My dirty little secret.
Point being, it's thin orange water. Sweet, "juicy," hint of alcohol, there and then GONE. Imagine one of those orange ice pops in the clear cellophane sleeves, cut off the top and push up from the bottom. Now imagine it without enough citric acid, so it's just floral orange. Bingo.
But then... not really.
Who or what is this for? Gulping out of an ice filled cup, maybe with sparking water or soda (unnecessary but...), on a boat in the middle of a lake on a hot sunny day. That's likely WHERE the idea for Orange Beam originated. Easier than hauling coolers full of beer. Less pee in the water. Win-win.
But then again... not really.
Go ahead, try it. You know you want to--there's that Tang memory to revisit.
