Hand-pulled half-pint on 6th Dec 13 in The Crown Inn, Oakengates. Golden brew with lemon notes all over the place, couldn’t pick up any Elderberry esters or flavours like the brewery claim is around this brew. Too many citrus flavours for me. Medium bodied, but I don’t like citrus, golden brews and this is certainly one of those, really pleased I only had a half. Scored objectively (mostly).

Bottle from Deli in Llangollen. Pale gold with a moderate white head and a light sparkle. Unmistakable fresh elderflower aroma and flavour. Some lemon, white pepper and lemongrass comes through behind, leading to a middling bitterness in the lightly dry finish. It could be criticised by some for the beer playing second fiddle to the elderflower, but I like elderflower so that is fine by me! A lovely light summer refresher.

50cl bottle. Pours dark chestnut with a red hue. The nose has dark chocolate and biscuits, some marmalade strangely. The taste has more of the same, special emphasis on the dark chocolate but there’s still some biscuit and there’s also a persistent liquorice note. The palate has a slightly rugged but good balance - medium to full bodied then growing through the big crunchy texture and finishing fairly elegantly, actually. Overall, good beer.

50cl bottle from Vinomondo. I enjoyed this but the thing that kind of lurked in the back of my head was that I’d rather be drinking a Williams Birds n Bees. Anyway, it’s blonde with a distinct elderflower note on the nose which hides a little of the sweet malt. However, this doesn’t come through quite enough on the taste and I generally feel this needs more hoppy bitterness to be a true summer ale. Good though.

50cl bottle @ Watson’s Bistro, Conwy. Pours golden with some head - I was expecting this to be more malty. It’s really in the pale ale to golden ale part of the spectrum though I suppose Bitter is a broad and all-encompassing category. It delivers some grapefruit and pale malt on both nose and taste. It’s a golden ale by numbers in fact.

50cl bottle @ Watson’s Bistro, Conwy. Pours amber with a reasonable head. The nose is all malt and honey. The taste is biscuits and toffee but still fresh. The palate is light to medium in body and texture and fresh enough on the finish. Overall, a well made bitter.
