A copper colored beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet and very floral, combined with light notes of dust. The flavor is sweet and quite dry with notes of malt, caramel, and nuts, leading to an extremely dry bitter spicy end combined with some citrus notes from the hops.

Bottled. More of a head and more carbonation that their Best Bitter. More bittering i the taste, and the hop character is definitely there.
