Dark-hazy amber; very little head. Faint malt nose, some garden herbs - doubtlessly the flowers meant. Again, faint taste of coloured malt. Finish is slightly acidic, like lime-tree blossoms' tea. Light bodied. A bit disappointing. It is a session beer, for the not overcritical.

Bottled (thanks Bov!). Hazy pale nutbrownish amber colour, big foamy slightly off-white head. Nice lace. Aroma is flowery hops along with mild fruitiyness, herbs and yeast. Flavour is quite much the same, but also gets some slight metallic notes as it warms up.
