It has like a sweet n sour smell, like a bread & butter pickly smell. Maybe a relishy smell? It has a snap, but its a chewy pickle. Not a crunch, its a chew. Feint but powerful tang? You barely get it but it's a good kick. Also tastes kinda sweet? Kinda juicy. No garlic. I miss the garlic. Even though its sweet it's got a good sour, it's got a good tang, it's got a good snap. It has great pickle flavor, but also not super satisfying on its own. maybe 2-3 could satisfy a craving. Although I have ate an entire jar in one sitting before so maybe not.
