A slightly hazy golden yellow beer with a white head. Aroma of lemon and elderflower lemonade. Taste of lemon, some elderflower, zest, no beer flavour, easy to drink.

Wheat beer flavoured with leftover lemons and elderblossoms (making me wonder where these leftovers originally came from), from the Albert Heijn supermarket in Lokeren. Thick and foamy, egg-white, membrane-lacing, dense, stable head over a near clear pale straw-yellow robe with greenish tinge. Aroma initially rather lightstruck (stale armpit sweat), fading more slowly than usual (alas), but not getting too much in the way of impressions of dry lemon zest, matcha tea, rucola, that cheesy and floral hint of elderblossom but faintly so, wet sand, white bread, withering leek and an annoying background hint of yellow lemonade. Thinly but consistently sweet onset, a bit sugary even (Radler vaguely springs to mind, but fortunately not that sweet by any means), fruity notes of red apple, ripe pear and indeed sourish lemon (though very softly); prickly carbonation, slick mouthfeel with slick, soapy, bit sourish wheat dominating, very smooth and a bit thin, with a green fruitiness continuing as well as that sugary touch, the latter becoming a bit lemonade-like again in the end. Cheesy, blossomy elderflower appears retronasally while hops remain all but absent, furthering this wheat slickness, sugary aspect and lemon zestiness to a rather unsatisfying finish. The Ghentian 'Roomer' elderblossom liqueur springs to mind, but remotely so and in a much thinner way. Clearly adapted for the masses - and though these Lowlander beers may seem interesting for their sometimes unusual application of botanicals, I still do not get them, none of them has managed to convince me so far. Oh well, who knows, maybe this concoction functions better when drunk ice cold on a benign spring day than on a freezing cold January night...
Countdown to 2500!!! T-1! Hmm, definitely will have to pick something better for the 2500

0.33 l bottle from 'AH XL' (Enschede), best before August 2025. A little hazy, golden yellow with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, gently fruity aroma of lemon, grains and traces of elderflower. Slightly sweet, a little sourish, gently fruity taste of lemon, grains and a touch of elderflower, followed by a short, gently bitter, minimally tart finish. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pleasant, fairly refreshing stuff, quite good for what it is and especially for such a low abv.

Bottle. Almost clear light golden. Indeed some sweet lemon, wheat, soft yeast, coriander, a hint of elderflower or maybe that's just because they're on the label. Medium sweet, light sour. Refreshing, a bit like a radler.

Pours a light hazy pale yellow colour and a dense white head that doesn't last long. Aroma's of lemon, lemon pie, slightly floral. Retronasal it's sourish, lemon, light sweet, elderflower. Flavour is light sweet and light sour. Light bodied. Light bitterness in the finish. Quite nice on this hot Summer night.

33cl Fles. Mistig bleekgele kleur, witte kraag. Citroensap, licht zuur, licht moutig, hint van vlierbloesem, OK voor een radler maar toch echt te waterig voor een degelijk bier.

Fles gedeeld door Roelzie Het is een troebel bleekgeel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van limoen en citrus. De smaak is fris zuur en limoen achtig.
