Bottle from Sainsburys. Golden coloured with a decent, frothy off-white head. Aroma of floral hops, hay and a hint of citrus. Flavour was slightly sweetish, with decent malts, elderflowers, and citrus hops with a touch of prickliness. Very drinkable.

Nov 2, 2008 Bottled, 500ml from Sainsbury’s, Banbury. Gold with white head. Initially quite a heavy wet card note, but on dispertion of the CO2 there came a mild fruity, herby flavour. Dryish with hoppy sweet notes, flowery and scented. Quite reasonable.

Oct 7, 2008 Slightly hazy beer with a good thickish white head, refreshing and zesty. Has a nice light fruity bite. I can just pick up on the elderflowers. This was bought in Sainsburys in Ponteland on the way to Newcastle.

Pours a great, lightly dark golden with a medium, staying, frothy, white head. Aroma is not impressive, some maltiness and a feeling of "fart" - probably a mix of herbs (elderflowers) and hops. Super dry mouthfeel, okay carbonation. Flavour is dry, herbal, pine, edlderflowers and a good dry, hoppy finish. Sad about the aroma, otherwise a very solid beer.
