Huge, fine-yellowish head over deep orange beer, hazy. Dry, spicy, white candi sugar. Bit flowery, and alcohol lurking. Very dry, spicy taste, bit of liquorice. Vague celeri, or other vegetable - even cilandro. Again, suspicion of white candi sugar. Warming up, almonds, and, strangely enough, some hops coming up. Alcoholwarming, meidum bodied, slick, quite carbonated. Good beer, but nothing original to it.
