Draft. A hazy yellow beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, straw, and elderflowers. The flavor is sweet with an acidic edge and notes of lemons, brett, and elderflowers, leading to a tart finish.

On keg at Brewdog Lothian Rd, Edinburgh. Appearance - murky yellow with hints of brown. Thin head. Nose - elderflower and sour lemon in the same note. Taste - salty asparagus, almost samphire. Intentional or not? Palate - long and lean and tangy throughout. Overall - challenging, original and very good.

Bottle at cgarvieuk's. Pours unclear yellow. Aroma is Brett stables, elderflower, leather. Body is medium, quite sour and tart, some leather and lemon peel and elderflower indeed. Fizzy carbonation, lots of candy and yoghurt. Not greatly balanced, but quite good.

Pre-Borefts Tasting at the Kim Jung Un Buurtcentrum in Zaandam. Thank you for sharing! 375 ml. bottle. Hazy citrus, creamy small white head. Smell is weird chemical elderflower, glue, green bell pepper funky elderflower,… High carbonation.
