Cask at GBBF 2006. An orange beer with a beige head. The aroma is sweet hoppy giving it light notes of grass and flowers, combined with light notes of metal. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, grass, and flowers, leading to a dry bitter end. The body is on the thin side, and I find it a bit boring.
