This fresh, light, award-winning beer delights with its grassy, crisp taste and zippy floral aroma. Flavours of white grape and melon develop to reveal a subtle bitterness... a taste that is quintessentially English. Perfect with chicken and pasta - and exquisite with fresh Dorset fly-fished trout.

500ml bottle. Pours golden with a small head. Aroma is floral and elderflower. Floral to start then sweet with a medium bitter finish. Not a bad drink.

500 ml bottle, from Voldby Købmandsgård, Denmark. ABV is 4.6%. Golden colour, big to moderate white head. Nice aroma of floral and fruity hops, "dusty" malts in the background. The flavour is fruity, on a background of fairly sweet pale malts, ending in a very moderate bitterness. Like other Badger bottled beers: refreshing and drinkable, but does not blow your socks off.

Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks tomer. Clear golden. Aroma of earthy hops, flowers, bread and some citrus. Sweetish malty flavor with some fruits at first. Continues with very floral hoppy bitterness. Medium-bodied.

At a tasting, clear light gold colour, almost no head, aromas of tropical fruits and rose petals with hints of tea, same attributes continue in the mouth with the tea becoming stronger, long and very pleasant sweet and sour finish. Suprising beer which does not feel very "english" with the hops being bolder than usually expected, but not over the top. Very good.

Has a nice spicy aroma with some alcohol hints, very hoppy and such. Looks okay but lacks head. Flavour is a good offering with notes of spice, hints of citrus, very sweet and fruity but with a slightly dry finish. Nothing bad, but nothing special.
