The winning brew of The Great British Homebrew Challenge. Pouring hazy gold, the beer has an aroma of rose, lemon, chamomile and coriander. The taste is tart and slightly fruity, with a silky mouthful that culminates in a kiss of hops.

Draft @ Billie's 2021, shared with Brewver BE crew.
Dorée, fin blanc.
Arôme met de suite en avant ce bouquet de pétales de roses - le tout avec une pointe de grains en rétro.

Palais est assez faiblard au niveau de l'effervescence, côté froment avec un caractère pétale de rose assez dominant - douceur latente reste tout au long.

Bottle at a tasting. Very nice balance of character, I get the chamomile as strongest, roses and lemon as light and coriander as background. Flowery spicy base beer character, everything marries together really well. Easy drinking, packing lots of flavours. Excellent.
