Very special beer. Sweet, hints of flowers and elderberries. It doesn’t taste like beer, more like a sweet cider. Although a nice experiment.

Bottle..... It pours hazy yellow with a large white head quick despairing head.... The aroma is sour, sweet and fruity.... The flavor is sweet, slightly sour, fruity and flowers.... very refreshing, it is nice balanced.....

UPDATED: MAR 21, 2012 75cl, new exclusive brew Anno 2010, with elderflower syrup, from De Bierloods Adegem, complex brew, sweet and slightly sour, yet refreshing, balanced, cloudy, nearly no head, nice brew

Short-lived attempt at white head over beer, looking for all the world as cider. End of bottle solid yeast. Sourish nose, cidery (yes!), even flowervinegar, faintly fruity. Sweet-sour, again like medium dry cider, applevinegar with sugar, and a typical flowery-fruity flavour, no doubt the elderflowersyrup. Slick, but a bit empty MF. Very un-beery. As said already, like demi-sec cider from the supermarket. I would have been all the more impressed if this result would have been reached with half the alcoholcontent... Neeryssche Dobbel-wit, anybody?
