Upon closer inspection or grinding, hints of orange sherbet, cream, and a subtle diesel undertone emerge. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, presenting a sweet, creamy taste with powdered sugar and vanilla icing notes, complemented by tangy orange candy and berry nuances, and finishing with a subtle fuel and baked dough character.
