Pours amber with a small head.Lots of spices in the aroma. I’d take a guess at some combination of cinnamon, cardamon, nutmeg and coriander. Very potent. Also a lime-like citrus note in there. Peppery.Light flavours, but with the same spicy dominating in the aroma. Once you get over the initial assault of spices it’s quite enjoyable.Carbonation seems full on, while the body feels a little watery.Not as traditional as I was expecting, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
