Cask conditioned. Hazy golden amber, whispy white head. Nice hoppy aroma, good malt. Flavor was fairly bitter, a touch of malt. Decent body, but could probably use some more life. Not bad though.

Pours light gold/amber with a quickly disipating white head. Light flowery aroma with toasted grain aroma. Some hop bitterness. Herbal notes. Earthy malts. Dry roasty finish. Tastey.

On cask @ the TO beer festival. Appears cloudy, like a hefeweizen but orangey. Great floral/pine taste and resiny mouthfeel. Too bad it was a festival one off.

Sampled at the Toronto Festival Of Beer 2004. Hazy golden colour with no head. Appetizing floral aroma, very nice. Very still body, even for a cask ale, and the body seemed a little weak at first, but it really filled out as the beer warmed. Very refreshing flavour - the elderflowers and Golding hops seem to be a perfect match. As with the Dogsbody, Perry proves that lower alcohol doesn’t have to mean lower flavour.

elderberries added for taste. English hops. Good water. Light on hops and very light mouthfeel. Very low alcohol.

Slightly hazy orange amber body. Smallish white head. Interesting aroma, bit of floral hops and a subtle... something. Presumably the elderflowers. Flavour starts out very subtle and leaves a long mild bitterness that sticks with you for a bit with the ocassional mouth puckering hoppy kick. Intriguing. Palate is light, and my sample was on the still side. Seems to fit the beer nicely as a thirst quencher but some more carbonation would be nice, even for a cask.
