JDW Marble Arch. Flowery and fragrant and soft and very drinkable with good honey flavouring. Lovely stuff. Why have lager when you can have this (and more of it, as it is full bodied enough at 4%). Spanking.

an amber coloured ale, that was way to fizzy from the bottle and not that complex.

Bottle conditioned, poured a real orange brown in colour, the beer seemed hazy and no headat all. Sweet taste you cna feel the honey but not the elderflower. to me a nice beer.

BCA Thanks to Steve North Oxon CAMRA for this one. Poured a bit hazy golden brown but that may have been carelessness on my part. I noticed the honey in the aroma but the elderflower didn’t come through to me as easily still it was a pleasant aroma. The taste was also very good nice lush sweetness to this with honey again showing but also the malts and hops were very much in evidence nice soft mouthfeel decent beer.
