A copper colored beer with an OK beige head. The aroma is quite strong with notes of straw, hops, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet and very malty to start off with, but soon the aroma hops hits You with notes of grass, and citrus, on a back drop of caramel, which again leads on to a dry hoppy bitter end still with the citrusy notes lingering around.
