Cask at GBBF 2011. It pours golden yellow/orange, with a thin white head. The nose is tangerine, zesty orange, mango, apricot, floral and herbal. The taste is orange pith, lemon, marmalade, resin, hay, grass and subtle heather, with a citrus fruit finish. Light body and low carbonation. Refreshing and drinkable.
