This is a mere shadow of what a real juice should be. It tastes like water with a wedge of orange squeezed into it, rather than actual fruit juice. Fine strands are visible in the pale orange liquid, but they don't seem to add to the flavour. The only taste that stands out is a relatively high acidity, which is the only redeeming feature of this juice.

If you like your OJ to be more solid than liquid, this is your drink. There's plenty of chunky, chewy pulp in this light orange fluid. "Natural flavouring" is listed as an ingredient, although with no further elaboration, it is hard to tell what that is exactly. It has a light sweetness and a low acidity.
