9/5/2021. Taster courtesy of minutemat, cheers! Pours clear golden with a short-lived bubbly white head. Aroma is elderflower dominated, light apple, funky notes, and a touch of rubber. Moderate sweetness with a tangy sharp bitter tart edge. Moderate body, oily texture, quite fizzy. Not so keen on the aroma or fizz but enjoyable to taste.
