Handpull at The Beer Emporium Bristol. Clear deep pink colour lasting pink head. Some strawberry flavour. A little apple flavour behind it. Too sweet. Yep too sweet.

Aus der Flasche im 2023-06 getrunken. Dieses goldene Cider mit Holunder kommt mit einer feinen Süße daher, die die Apfelsäure sehr gut ausbalanciert. Neben dem Apfelaroma paßt die Holunderblüte sehr gut. Im Vergleich zum Real Elderflower hat diese Version aus der Flasche eine schöne erfrischende Kohlensäure, wo der Real Elderflower etwas tot im Glas liegt.
