Ysgawen/Elderflower Ale is a refreshing pale ale brewed from Welsh mountain water and natural ingredients. Cascade hops are used for aroma, with the added indulgence of elder-flowers, creating a superb floral bouquet and a delectable sweet citrus finish.

Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours golden yellow with a small foamy almost white head and good lacing. The aroma is basically citrus and elderflower. In the mouth it is quite sharp with a creamy texture, Flavour has floral hops, citrus, lemon and elderflower with some underlying malty hints as well. A little lime comes through later on as well and the finish is slightly bitter. This is reasonable but more a drink for a sunny summer afternoon rather than a wet February evening !

Clear pale gold with a bubbly white head and a floral aroma, presumably elderflower. Light bodied, fresh and fruity with a dry bittersweet finish.

Old rating from 01-08-15 - 500ml bottle, a birthday gift from a fellow beer lover, pours a clear golden colour with a white head. Aromas of Elderflower & hops. Tastes of Elderflower, citrus fruit with a slight bitterness in the finish. Feels of medium carbonation. Overall a nice summery drink.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Golden colour, bubbly white foam head and aroma of elderflower, flowery hops. Taste is pale malt, floral fruity, elderflower, currant, with some citric hop bitterness. Medium bodied, light carbonation, drying bitter lingering elderflower finish. Quite OK.
