Pours hazy orange-amber with thin white head. Aroma is sweet, fruity orange; yeasty. Flavor is citrusy, fruity, with a pronounced cloves sort of spice. Doughy, banana/bubblegum notes. Relatively thinnish mouthfeel. Unique and pretty nice.

Source: On tap at Medici in Normal, IL.
Appearance: Poured a cloudy gold color with a thin white head.
Aroma: The aroma was very spicey, with notes of orange peel and yeast. Very pleasant aroma.
Flavor: The flavor was candi sugar and fruit. A very spicey finish.
Palate: Medium/full body with softish carbonation and a silky mouthfeel.
Overall: Glad to try one of the GI high gravity beers. I have a BCS waiting in my fridge. Gives me a lot of hope for it.

12 oz bottle poured into a tulip glass. Color is clear light amber, with 1 inch frothy head. Aroma is orange peel, spices, and yeasty funk. Taste is some candi sugar and tart fruit, then a hint of sour and some barnyard funk. Mouthfeel is smooth and moderately carbonated. Interesting, not wild about it at first, but it kinda grew on me.
