Pours with barely any head and yellow lager body. Aroma is soft lager with berry hints. Flavour is definitely elderflower but not overpowering, well balanced.

Bottle shared at level 42 Canary wharf tasting. 11/07/2016. A bright yello straw coloured pour with a thin white head. Aroma is little floral elderflower, straw, hint of nuts. Flavour is composed of light grains, some fruity English yeast esters. Palate is easy going moderate, carbonation decent enough. Easy going.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Fergus. Pours clear yellow-gold with a faint, white foam head. The nose has some pale grains, hints of green pepper, hay. Light sweet flavour with dry doughy pale bread, lemon rind, faint spicy elderflower, more hay. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with further faintly spicy green pepper, sweet pale bread, very slig bitter hay. Quite basic but the elderflower makes it a little more interesting.
