16 oz. can, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with lots of adjuncts, especially cinnamon, orange peel and anise. Flavour is along the same lines, with cinnamon, orange peel, and anise. Little bit of lime on the back end. Lots of adjuncts here. Fun stuff but not exactly elegant.
