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.

Unclear, golden yellow colored, medium white frothy head, fizzy. Aroma is of strong chamomile, some rose, coriander, witty yeast. Taste is medium to light sweet malt, wheat, again strong chamomile, less rose, coriander, spicy yeasty, light bitterness. Medium to light bodied, lively carbonation, bit watery. Clean and refreshing. Interesting but nothing mind blowing. (bottle, Pivoteka, Zagreb)

Clear blond to yellow beer, small creamy white irregular head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: sweetish, bit floral, some citrus, spicy and herbal. MF: soft carbon, medium to light body. Taste: urinal cakes, very floral, sweetish and sugary, some Turkish delight, more sugary. Aftertaste: slightly bitter, very floral, rose water, sugary, too sweet, don't really like it.

Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles' place. Thanks troubles. Hazy yellow. Floral, fruity, wheat, yeast, rather dry, slightly tart, weird spiciness, light to medium-bodied. So-so.

330ml bottle bought at Tuckers Maltings. Hazy pale golden, filmy layer, spotty lacing. Perfumed fruity nose. Spiced fruity flavours, hints of clove and coriander. Wheaty backbone. Short spiced ending. Strange brew. (Shared with Finn and djoeye, Tromsø 18.05.2017).
