Oragne golden color, slight but steady head. Flowery honeyaroma and flavor. Perfumed sweet, but still some hops present. A bit of a woman's beer. Sweeter than average, a bit of flowers, a bit of honey. Well balanced. I like this beer, but "the nectar of the gods" as the label says......No!

(Bottle 50 cl) I believe Elysium was the drink of the Gods in both Greek and Roman mythology. Well, this lacks a bit to achieve just that... Amber in colour with a very fine head. The elderflower is mainly present in the palate, but this beer seems oddly inharmonious in some strange way. Go for the Badgers Golden Champion if you like elderflower. 010104

Golden to orange color, nice perlage. Simple aroma: sweet, a bit malty, oranges, rubber. Simple taste, with a residual sweetness and a light pleasant fruitness. Nice bitterness, and in the finish finally we find the elderflowers. Easy and interesting drink before a dinner.

Bottled. Pale golden. Rich aroma of fruit and elderberries. Sweet, clean and one-dimensional with low bitterness.

A light amber or orange beer with a fine head. The aroma is flowery and fresh (probably from the elderflower. The flavor is dominated by the elderflower - very interesting - it sticks to your lips. But in the mouth the flavor dies away pretty fast and is only followed by a slight bitterness - a little more lingering would make it better.

Sweet smell, definetly elderflower. Dark amber, ok creamy head. The taste is a bit weird, it tastes as if a vicious old lady dropped her favorite liquor into my beer. Dusty when exhaling througn nose. Interesting, but I am not relly happpy with it, maybe when the weather is a bit warmer?
