I've noticed a lot of European orange-sodas emulating that Orange Crush formula as of late. A local orange-flavored soda calles "Schartner Bombe" seems to have removed a good part of the acidic and tangy bouquet in favor of an ever sweeter/more sugary taste. And local variants of Fanta seemed to have been subjected to a similar change in the formula.
Maybe for the better, makes me drink less of that stuff. Anyway, you're making me curious about heirloom navel oranges. I guess without all the excess sugar drowning out some of the subtleties, this might actually be a flavor profile that is somewhat to my liking.
