Some sweet bread, the same pepper skin, and some floral hops. A light bitterness on the finish.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 coolpop (1163) - Birmingham, Alabama, USA - APR 21, 2013
Bomber. Poured a hazy pale straw with a HUGE, pillowy head. Took a long time to pour out two glasses. Head left a lot of skuzzy lacing. Aroma was earthy, yeasty, dry, herbal. Flavor was that plus a bracing hit of bitterness. Quite dry, but there’s also a bit of honey. I don’t get elderberry specifically -- or even much fruitiness. But it adds a nice floral element. Almost like a pilsner, both in terms of malt character and dry spiciness of the hops. Light mouthfeel.

Bière très originale. Etiquette du genre écolo, vert pomme, avec des fleurs de sureau
qui font partie de la composition. D’ailleurs écolo et sureau, ça rime ….
Couleur jaune paille mat, un peu aussi sur le vieux citron.
Bière trouble comme une blanche. Bulles moyennes partout.
Mousse blanche pure à très gros flocons, collante aux parois du verre.
Arômes de houblon fin (il y en a deux), et fleurs de sureau.
Bonne 1ère bouche douce avec des fleurs et des fruits blancs.
Arrière-bouche qui s’arrête sec, puis revient sur quelques épices.
2ème bouche avec la même enveloppe, mais amertume plus fine et spécifique.
3ème bouche sur les fleurs de sureau, bien précises et agréables.
Rétronez qui pince un peu et développe ces saveurs.
Longueur où on s’installe dans un côté désaltérant, sympa, doux.
Levure typée amère avec un rien d’acidité.
Alcool sympa à 5 % abv pour ce type de bière.
Finale qui se savoure, sans défaut, et sans prétention sauf le désaltérant de la
bière et la douceur de ces fleurs très saisonnières ….
