Award winning new recipe. A light golden colour with a high proportion of wheat and corn giving it a clean fresh taste on top of which there is masses of hop, fruit and citrus flavours with elderflower on the nose.

Bottle online from Beers Of Europe. Pours a clear light golden colour with a 2 finger fluffy white head. Aromas of citrus, floral and some doughy white bread. Taste has elderflower, citrusy lemon, lots more doughy white bread and also peppery spice on the finish. A subtle amount of lemon pith also on the hoppy finish. Medium body with fairly low carbonation and slightly oily mouthfeel. Nice crisp refreshing and flavoursome beer. Good one.

Rocky white head stayed on a highly carbonated clear golden coloured body. Big fruity aroma. Medium bodied, smooth & lively in the back. Citrus, zesty, floral & berry tastes with a long tangy bitter finish. That's a decent ale.
