Aroma: Lemony, grassy and floral.
Appearance: Clear straw coloured body with virtually no head. No lacing. Lots of carbonation.
Taste: Sharp elderflower, floral hops and a bittersweet finish. Lovely.
Palate: Thin to medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Lively carbonation.
Overall: This reminds me of a cross between Cairngormβs Trade Winds and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Pretty good.

Bottle, 4.3%. Bottle now says hops are Nelson Sauv. and Amarillo. Gold with a bit of a chill haze, small white head. Aroma of light honey, elderflowers, gooseberries. Taste is sweet with honey and rather more elderflowers than suggested by the aroma. Crisp citrus finish has a little pepper too. Solid warm weather refreshment.

50cl bottle, BBE 01/2013. Poured clear golden with a frothy, white head. Citrusy hops and malt aroma. Flavor is fruity at first, elderflowers cleary detectable, then it turns more sweet, honey perhaps? Semisweet finish. Sweetness was a letdown, otherwise quite a drinkable beer.

50 cl bottle of 4,3% version, BBE 01/2013
Aroma has honey, toffee and fruity hops. Flavour has toffee and goldings-like hops. Rather nice golden ale where part of the hoppiness is replaced with toffee. The sweetness of the honey in the finish disturbs me a bit. I have had also the 5% version, this is almost as good.

50cl bottle. Pours golden with gentle bubbles and a good head. The nose has hay, honey and a fresh gooseberries. The taste has honey, sweet malt and a massive elderflower from middle to end. The palate has a medium structure, a decent texture and a clean zingy finish. Overall, a nice refreshing ale - I like it.
