Amber color, frothy head. Hoppy, flowery aroma, hoppy, grassy flavor. Just a hint of butterscotch. Rather thin. Fine English ale. 32 runs from 50 balls before being out by lbw.

Bottled. Pale golden. Rich aroma of fruit and elderberries. Sweet, clean and one-dimensional with low bitterness.

Brown with a thin head. Taste is sweeter than I expect from a bitter. Gets sweeter as it warms. A little more bitter taste in the finish.

A light amber or orange beer with a fine head. The aroma is flowery and fresh (probably from the elderflower. The flavor is dominated by the elderflower - very interesting - it sticks to your lips. But in the mouth the flavor dies away pretty fast and is only followed by a slight bitterness - a little more lingering would make it better.

Golden-amber. Quite yellow head, rather full, but collapsing quickly. Fine hops in the nose, some malt, wet chalk. DMS as well, but not much. Taste bitter from UK hops, but also vegetable bitterness. Slight impression of roastd malts - and another smell : drains (in a very nice way, if possible), meaty... Mouthfeel is a bit thin, sharp finish. Very reminding of a draught best Bitter. Nowhere as full as its 5.6 ABV would lead to expect - aroma is wonderful, shame about the finish.

Sweet smell, definetly elderflower. Dark amber, ok creamy head. The taste is a bit weird, it tastes as if a vicious old lady dropped her favorite liquor into my beer. Dusty when exhaling througn nose. Interesting, but I am not relly happpy with it, maybe when the weather is a bit warmer?

A chestnut brown beer with a fine head. It has a slight fruity and spicy aroma. The flavor is a little flat with no sweetness. It contains notes of a little smoke and chocolate. It doesn''t have the smoothness that bitters usually have. But it ends on a very nice bitterness that lingers. An OK beer, but I rather want my bitters more smooth than this.

Amber color. The aroma presents some malt, but ain''t extraordinary. Quite boring taste and palate, just a smooth feeling (and a pleasant malt-like aftertaste).

A light amber beer with no head. It has a light fruity ale aroma. The flavor is kind of weak - with a slight sweetness and some bitterness. Nothing special.

A golden beer with no head. It has an intriguing aroma with hints of bitterness as well as fresh citrus. The flavor is very fresh an prickles your tongue with hints of citrus. An OK beer.
