Bottle. Orange pink colour with a small off-white head. Light sour elderberry aroma and a yeasty elderberry taste. Light body and a sweet finish.

ambra scuro tendente al rosso ciliegia ( o succo di sambuco appunto), velata con residuo in bottiglia [SCHIUMA] bianca, media presenza, fine, e media persistenza [OLFATTO] poco intensa, con sentori di malto, leggere note vegetali e una leggera profumo alcolico [GUSTO] inizio tendenzialmente dolce, con note di zucchero; segue una leggera acidità per un finale secco e leggermente amaro. [TEXTURE] corpo medio basso, comunque dotata di una certa morbidezza,media carbonazione ; alcohol percettibile sul fondo [COMMENTO FINALE] non posso dire che è una birra non buona; gusto pulito, piuttosto gradevole e si beve facilmente ; tuttavia non offre molto altro, rimanendo nella regolarità ed un certo anonimato. Se poi andiamo a vedere le premesse, delude ulteriormente; proposta come una birra seciale alla frutta, con apporto non comune di sambuco, lascia un attimo perplessi: personalmente non ho notato la presenza di tale bacca e nemmeno un fruttato evidente. in conclusione, dimenticandoci il sambuco, è una birra accettabile.

330ml bottle. Sweet berry aromas. Pours amber colour, with reddish vanishing head. Very poor lacework. Tste is sweet, no hint of hops. Long sweet finish. Give it a chance!

5.5% red colour with no head, fruity aroma, fruity caramel malt taste but I would not rate this as a Fruit Beer, quite nice.

Hmm what to make of this? Reddish brown body with very quickly fading head. Some light fruity notes of red apple, caramel, iron and blackberries. Taste is a mixed bag too; luckily not very sweet but with a poor hop profile. Just not much flavour in here. Slightly tintling and surely annoying carbonation. A two headed monster, this one. Somehow I still don’t mind drinking it, without being able to qualify why. But it’s not very well brewed. (33cl bottle)

Pours hazy red with an off white head. Slightly sour acidic aroma. Flavour is pretty skunky, probably because o the clear bottle. Flavour is very like a cheap lager.

[330ml bottle, courtesy of MrB] Beautiful red pour, thin white head. Slightly tart, but highly fruity aroma – you can taste the elderberries as well (although they give a red berry flavour, I wouldn’t pick it as elderberry). Nice and fruity, refreshing aftertaste. Good palate cleanser due to the slight sharpness. Nothing wrong with this beer at all [22092011]

2011 - 09 - 02 330ml brought home from Pt du Raz (Bretagne, France), hazy reddish amber colour big, quick fading head, taste not as sweet as most fruit beers, first time i have a beer with elderberry I think...

Botella. Hazy deep amber colour. Sweet caramel malty bit spiced aroma. Good mouthfeel. Sweet toasty malty caramel fruity flavour. Bit off.

(33 cl bottle @ La Saline, Guerande) Pours a hazy amber, slightly reddish with little, off-white head. Aroma is floral - perhaps the elderflower? - and malty. Hard to detect any hops in it. Served in a clear bottle with BB: November 2012. Taste is medium sweet with a little acidity. Fizzy carbonation, watery texture, medium-bodied with an astringent finish. Not really my style. Girlfriend says: "It tastes less special than it smells. A bit deceiving."

mild berryish aroma, mild malty.5 cloudy red, smooth offwhite head. Flavor is yeasty, faint fruity,
