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 thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - green stalky plus lemon/lime zest. A bit floral. Taste - more lemon and lime zest with a light malty backdrop. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - nice balanced session ale.

500 ml bottle. Clear pale golden body with a medium sized white head. Rather weak in aroma with some citric fruit and a floral touch. Flavor is light, soft, pale malt, slightly citric fruity, hint of flowers and light bitterness. Medium body and short in aftertaste. Drinkable, no faults but rather palin and one-dimensional. One of these beers that make me bored before finishing the bottle and decides to open something else meanwhile and then finishing it later just to have it done whiteout pouring an expensive bottle down the drain. Still nothing really wrong with it.

Thanks to Sean! Dunkelgolden im Glas, feinporiger Schaum. Typischer Ale-Geruch, sehr Kohlensäure-haltig im Glas. Die schöne, Ale-typische Note ist insgesamt etwas wässrig. Der Hauptteil ist lecker-typisch, trocken-herb, leicht erdig und ganz leicht süßlich. Im Nachgeschmack ist das Bier eicht herb, etwas wässrig. 10/12/10/10

500ml bottle: BBD 28 Sep 15. Shared between two of us on 26th Oct 14. Clear, bright golden body with a thin head of white foam. The nose had a floral hop front with mild malt notes. The taste was also hop floral, with some light maltiness. Not a great beer in my eyes.
