**Hobgoblin (Gremberry Farms) (One Shot) 13% (1-1-25)** -- Having just worked on a Community Project for a Dreamsicle I did want to get into this one. With orange creams, you really need both, and this one had one in spades, but not so much of the other. The orange/citrus notes were sharp, zingy, and punchy, but the cream seems to have fallen by the wayside. The orange was maybe one of the BEST I have tried with both orange, and blood orange profiles. Zingy, and I could almost taste the actual citrus oil and zest. Very natural, and authentic, with plenty of citrus zing. The cream as mentioned, was there, but truly overshadowed by the orange notes. I could taste it, and it did bring SOME creamy-ness to the mix, but only as a carrier, not a main note. I could have easily fixed this right up with some TPA Vanilla Swirl, and maybe a dash of FA Vienna Cream. As it stood, at 13% it was solidly strong, and no off-notes, with my only complaint being the lacking cream/creamery to smooth out some of the citrus, and push some vanilla into the mix. To my tastes, it tasted like it was about 65% of the way to finished. If it were just an orange, I'd rate it much higher, as again, the orange/blood orange combo was NEXT level. But, as a Orange Cream, going to knock it down a few and leave it at a **6.7/10**. I could see using this all day long in an Orange Cream / Creamsicle, but, would need some creamy help.
