Cask conditioned: An orange beer with no head. It has a slight aroma of fruit. The flavor is a pretty dry hoppy aroma - with a very well rounded sweetness. Really a great beer with a fantastic hoppy flavor.

From cask&#64;Charlies. Pours clear and golden with a lacing white head. Light fruity aroma. Flavour is mild malty with a mild fruity and light soapy note. Lingering mild into the finish.
