It's a pale orange - really watered down orange drink. Like, REALLY watered down drink. It looked a lot more orange while it was still in the jar, but this is why we pour it, I guess. The aroma is also orange drink, but with teeth in it, even though the are excessively dulled.First sip is sweet, orange and a little burning. The alcohol isn't the add-on alcohol that you get in the Seagram's sodas, which makes sense, as this alcohol isn't added - it's the point of the beverage.
Second and third sips reveal the character of the beverage to be very mild for one of these moonshines. Unlike a good whisky, my experience with moonshine has been that the better moonshines have something that covers up the nail polish remover taste that it usually has. I am told that proper mountain moonshine has a corn taste to it, but I haven't had access to this restricted, mythical beast.
Bottom Line: Delightfully approachable and eminently drinkable.
4.0/5
