What is Sonnema Oranje Boven?

An orange bottle for orange occasions

Sonnema Oranje Boven is the special orange edition of Sonnema Berenburg, made for celebrating in style at every festive occasion. The bottle contains the familiar Berenburg: enjoyably distinctive, with a bold kick and 30% alcohol, just like the regular bottle with the blue label.

So the difference is in the packaging, not the taste. That makes it ideal for a party with lots of guests: the liter bottle stands out among the bottles, and you can pour the same Sonnema and cola and headbutts as always. Sonnema itself recommends mixing it, with Sonnema & cola as the favorite.
