Cask @ Waterhouse, Manchester. Golden with a small creamy head. The elderflower is potent, and more than evident in its taste, creating a very floral character for the ale.

Blumig herber Antrunk, bittere Beinoten. Die Blumigkeit bleibt bestehen, witzig, frisch, spritzig. Nicht ganz mein Fall. 9/10/9/9//9

Gravicask at the Angel mini beer festival, Kelvedon. Clear pale gold beer, light semi dry palate, crispy. Sweet elderflower, very floral. Nicely balanced and nicely joined up to some orangey citrus hop. Clean and refreshing and something a little different. Nice!
