4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Golden in colour, light, hoppy, with the aroma and sweetness from the elderflower. A marvellous pint that you could drink all day...

Cask@ Belfast Beer Fest 2011.
Fresh elderflower nose on this golden beer and plenty of flavour despite its modest 3.5% ABV. Good bitter finish from the green bullet hops. Gentle carbonation. Used to be my session beer when I lived in Southampton and just as good with the reduced ABV.

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
[Cask at the Bootleggers, High Wycombe] Rather anaemic golden colour, negligible head. Grassy hops, some light floral notes and a bit of wee-wee (well, like I imagine wee-wee would taste, I have no plans of actually trying it to find out...). A disappointment after their excellent Maximus.

Cask at peterborough beer fest 2009. Alround rating: Citrusy goodness, light pale malt, small bit of plastic off the hop, but is brushed up by its goodness. Gread body, infinatly drinkable.

3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Aug 2008)
Golden with a short head. Hoppy. Elderflower is prominent in the scent. Lightly carbonated, sweet with a hint of bitterness on the end. In the mouth, the elderflower doesn’t last and is replaced by a little hop on the end with a dry finish.
