500ml bottle, brought by my wife at Ransom's Garden Centre in Jersey. Pours golden with a foamy head. Aromas & tastes of flora, pear, caramel, earth & biscuit. Moderate body. Light bitter finish. Better than expected, reasonably enjoyable.

18/2/2021. Bottle from Cottage Delight. Pours clear deep golden with a small frothy/creamy white head. Very nice looking beer. Positives kind of stop there though. Aroma is sweet, malty, earthy, chalky, light caramel, bit of biscuit, but above all reminded me of the smell of water poured from a vase after removing flowers that were well past their prime. Quite sweet, with a slightly rough earthy bitterness and just a hint of sour. Moderate body, average to soft carbonation. Not good really. Should have stuck with admiring its looks.

500ml bottle from Melbicks Garden Centre, Coleshill. Eye - clear dark gold, small white head with decent retention. Aroma - biscuit malts and smoke. Not picking up much floral aroma. Taste - again this is malty and smoky, semi-sweet. Moderate bitterness. Palate - light to moderate, slightly oily but dry. Overall - the beer doesn't really match with the description of it being aromatic and floral. It makes you wonder whether they stick any old label on the bottles regardless of what was brewed, and then let their marketing man/woman work wonders with garden centre chains. Anyway the beer itself is very one-dimensional.
