The fresh fruitiness of apples combines with the heavy citrus zest of elderflowers to give a unique aroma and warm caramel colour. We spike our base farmhouse cider with real elderflowers; their pungent astringency bestows a rich, complex flavour laced with fruit notes. Classic pear esters underpin subtle floral sweetness.

I don't know what elderflower is, but it's good.

Keg at Inverurie Brew Festival. It pours clear clear pale apple green with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, huge elderflower, floral, juicy, icing sugar and gooseberry crumble. The taste is crispy, snappy, juicy, tangy, crunchy green apple, sweet - sour, plenty of elderflower, floral, candy and next to o buzz with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Simple and chuggable.

Aus der Flasche im 2023-06 getrunken. Dieses goldene Cider mit Holunder kommt mit einer feinen Süße daher, die die Apfelsäure sehr gut ausbalanciert. Neben dem Apfelaroma paßt die Holunderblüte sehr gut. Im Vergleich zum Real Elderflower hat diese Version aus der Flasche eine schöne erfrischende Kohlensäure, wo der Real Elderflower etwas tot im Glas liegt.

Can from Appalachian. Goblet @home. Soapy, leggy, but quickly fading head. Clear, shiny, rich, gold body. Stuffy, almost skunky, purple drank & odd wildflower scent. Taste is fortune cookie sweetness, a little random ugly, syrupy fruit melody, gum, concord grape. Desperately needs some bitterness. Super syrupy, very light acidity(but it is there). Low abv, low overall carbonation. No thanks.
