A hazy orange beer with a thick off-white head. The aroma is powerful, sweet, spicy, fruity (especially peaches) and alcoholic. The flavor is very sweet and very both fruity and spicy, the fruits are mostly peaches, while the spices are primarily cinnamon, coriander, and cloves. The alcohol makes the body thick, and prickles the tongue.
