Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - golden and clear. Snow white proportionate head. Nose - lemon and caramel. Taste - more caramel, then light grassy note and lemon again. Palate - creamy body, a bit sweet in the middle and then the bitterness kicks in at the very end. Overall - decent.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - golden amber with a big fluffy white head. Nose - citrus, light caramel and something green though not sure you could tell it was elderflower. Taste - candied lemon and definitely elderflower this time. Again, light caramel, or possibly even toffee as a backdrop. Palate -light bodied, creamy texture, bittersweet middle to finish. Overall - good, though I'd remove the caramel note if possible.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Pours clear dark gold at first, then I popped the yeast in from the bottle for a trad hefe vibe. persistent white head. Aromas of banana, toffee, light coconut, lemon. Taste combines these with a light spice note. Not too boozy. Pretty drinkable in fact.

Bottle from Cork & Cask. Hazy deep golden body with a thin head that fades. No visible carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of banana bread, rust and caramel. Flavour of banana, fig roll and brown sugar. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Big flavour and easy to drink for the ABV. Very nice.
