[500ml bottle, gift from wife] Colour veering towards mid-brown - darker than one would expect for the style of ale. Good and lasting creamy head. Sweet, fresh, delicious aroma. Taste initially sweet and malty, and very smooth. The middle of the bottle went very sour for a few mouthfuls - quite a strange interlude - before the sweetness returned towards the end of the bottle - it was only at this point that the elderflower suddenly came through. Left a pleasantly light, fresh, hoppy aftertaste. This went down very easily, and would make a nice summer ale. A good effort from Charley boy (or at least from Wychwood Brewery, who have contract-brewed this beer for him) but it was somehow a little too light. If you’re looking for a similar organic ale with just a little more kick than this, try Shepherd Neame’s Whitstable Bay. However, I will definitely look forward to other beers from our monarch-in-waiting!

[i] Bottle from Sainsbury’s Kidlington 13-11-07 [/i] Poured golden in colour with white head. Some fruit, hops and a bit of malt on the nose but I didn’t get much elderflower. Tasted fine, bit florally but again not really noticing the elderflower, some bitterness and a bit of crisp lemon there.

500ml bottle from Waitrose. Copper colour with thin white head. Slightly sulphur and spicey hop aromas. OK in mouth with more spicey hop on the end. Almost like ginger. Fine , just a little bit dead and metalllic
