Avery's Orange Dry Soda comes in an old-fashioned 12 fl oz (355 mL) glass bottle with a simple blue & white label that reads, "Always Ask for Avery's. Trade Mark. Gold Coin Beverages. Established 1904." The cap says, "Naturally Flavored Orange Dry Soda."

The milky white liquid with sediment gives a hiss upon opening and a light sizzle to the pour. As a thin layer of bubbles separate, the scent is of wood rosin. Carbonation is light in the mouth, revealing a moderate mouthfeel and consistency. The taste is a dry, tangy orange soda with the orange element being light. Acids are lively and balance the sugars, followed by a wood rosin derivative. This textured and tangy beverage has a slick feel, great for those who like the old-style take on orange soda that includes stabilizers.
