A lighter style ale brewed using Maris Otter barley, named for the rare carnivorous wetland flower, the Great Sundew (Drosera anglica), which experienced a revival when this beer was first brewed.

The plant this beer is named after has a sticky gel-like substance on the tips of tentacles that cover the leaves, given them the Appearance of having morning dew on them all-day long. Unsuspecting insects become stuck to the gel and the plant then slowly devours them.
