Tasty, if you like Yellow Chartreuse. Good balance of the Chartreuse and OJ with neither being too strong. A little sweet, but not too much.

I made this by accident with Angostura Aromatic Bitters instead of orange and weirdly I liked it better then with Orange bitters.

What am I drinking?! No no no.

Too strong for my wife, so I dilute with double the orange juice
