On tap at Cider Tap, pours a hazy dark orate with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of floral notes. Flavour is medium sweet, with shitloads of elderflower and medium residual sweetness. High drinkability with a very dominating flowery character.

Bottle sample at a wood-aged beers tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Clear very pale golden, white-wine-like color. Aroma of whiskey, green apples, alcohol, vanilla, wood and citric notes. Sweet flavor, slightly sourish, with green apples, sugar, wood, vanilla and a drier alcoholic finish. OK, too alcoholic for my liking.

Bottle. Aroma is nice woody with pronounced coconut. Apples rather in the background. Clear yellow colour. Taste is sweet with light background wood, pleasant refreshing touch of sourness. Coconut finish. Extremely well balanced, extremely tasty, extremely drinkable.
