Receptacle color produced a small shift in perceived carbonation, while neither receptacle color nor weight materially changed liking or basic-taste ratings across beverages.
What this does not establish
The measured difference was small, repeated ratings were laboratory sensory judgments, and flavored non-alcoholic beer does not generalize to package choice, retail purchase or all beverages.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
A visible color cue altered carbonation perception but not liking; added weight showed no general main effect, qualifying broad multisensory-premium claims.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, context changes and realized behavioral or commercial outcomes.
