Bottle, 4.7%. Sweet flowery aroma, elderflower, it seems. Almost clear golden colour. No head, at the least very unstable. The flavour is not as flowery as the aroma. More like rough.

On tap at Cardinal. An unclear amber beer with a finger thick beige head. Some lacings. The aroma has a good dose of alcohol, along with caramel, coffee hints, dried fruits and a tiny spiced touch. It’s very warming in the mouth, full-bodied and with an appropriate level of carbonation. Malty sweetness, dried fruits and some caramel and coffee. Nuts too, at low levels. Warming, sweet and rich finish. Overall, too warming, it should be bottled and then cellared for a year. Nice anyway. 101113

On tap at Cardinal. It’s an almost clear one, golden in color and with a small, off-white head leaving lacings. Citrusy nose with pine cones and some maltyness. Some sulphur as it warms. Bitter in the mouth, but with sufficient sweetness to balance it. Some pine cones and a little caramel maltyness. Full body, nicely carbonated. Pleasantly bitter in the fruity finish. A nice and easy drinking little beer. 101113
