Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - cloudy yellow with a snow white neatly proportioned head. Nose - light elderflower and citrus zest. Taste - lemon, light elderflower and generally dank. Palate - light bodied, very refreshing. Overall - good. I'm getting as much citrus as elderflower, interestingly.
