A blend of 7 grains, 3 hop strains and a late infusion of elderflower: This aromatic IPA was named by Scott's daughter. It pours a deep gold with aroma's of elderflower and citrus hops, followed by sweet caramel. On the tongue the biscuity malts are perfectly balanced with the bitterness of the hops, with a lingering floral elderflower aftertaste.

Bottled 500ml. -from 8 a Huit Val Thorens. Pale golden coloured, small white head, big bubbles of carbonation, whiff of elder in the nose. Malty, light fruity hoppy, notes of elderflower and vegetables with notes of caramel in the finish. Nothing special here.

BOTTLE 50 CL. Clear golden-amber, off-white smallish head. Light and delicate hoppy and malty aroma: some quince, jammy fruit. The taste is even more restrained, moderate malty and fruity sweetness with notes of peach ham. Light bitter finish. Not bad, but sometimes you feel like drinking a (maltier) lager.

Dorada miel. Escasa espuma. Lupulada en el aroma, anticipando lo que viene en el sabor. Naranja, uva. Final al fondo del paladar desmerece el conjunto. En cualquier caso, otra buena ale de la casa.

Amber colored , white lasting head. Mix of malt aromas, caramel and biscuit the strongest, lemony. Taste is sweet malt, caramel, biscuit, herbal hoppiness, lemon zest and some fruit. Medium bodied. I think I like this one much more than I should but for some reason it speaks to me!
