Commercial Description:
A blond summer ale whose name refers to the use of elderflowers in its production - the flowers are always planted in little terracotta pots. Although, it could also refer to our infamous concert hall in Bruges: the terracotta roof tiles are always falling off that... The beer has a fruity blossomy fragrance and a slightly acidic cider-like component to the taste.

Hazy yellow coloured beer with almost no carbonation and a very small white head. Fruity bitter hoppy aroma, some sprankling medium to full palate. Finish is light bitter hoppy as well. Not bad but not overwhelming.

Bottled. Clear golden coloured, small dying head. Very spice nose, interesting. Very soapy flavour, lots of spices again, way off balance. Totally not my thing. And i’m a bit disappointed by those Smisje brews lately...

Bottle. Cloudy golden with some sediment and a small head. Potent tart fruity with hints of spices. Fruity flavours balanced by spices. Quite lively. Well-made and interesting as always from this brewery.

The color is hazy yellow with some clarity but cannot see through the beer. Aroma has a lot of the Regenboog yeast dominance (brine-y fruit is really the best way I can describe it). Taste is similar but the strong carbonation seems to subdue the yeast flavors a little bit. Its very refreshing with light lemon and a seltzer-strong carbonation. This beer goes in a very different direction than most of the Regenboog beers, just tries to be light and refreshing. With the yeasty part the brine goes away and it becomes a lemon-fruit-yeast bomb.
33cl bottle, no date, from Bier Temple, in a De Neve tumbler.
