Elderflower
JUBEL

Bottled, purchased fruit m Sainsbury’s and presumably brewed at their smaller craft plant
Pours like an expensive elderflower sparkling drink & has the same aroma
Refreshing elderflower taste but not much beer

Poured from a 330ml can.
Pours straw yellow, clear with a very temporary head. The smell is grassy with malt and maybe elderflower if I sniff enough , it's barely there . The taste is unexpected, light, acidic but in a refreshing way , the elderflower is a nice almost aftertaste and a citrus lemonyness is the most forefront flavour. A little watery but sparkling . Overall, it's different, not as much elderflower as I imagined but that's no bad thing. Imagine a lager and an elderflower cordial already made up being mixed , like a perfumed shandy . Refreshing. Gluten free too so props . I quite liked this but I can't help but feel nine times out of ten if I want a fruity, tart , summery drink I'm just going to get a decent cider .

330ml can. Thin and bland. Elderflower is a traditional English cordial but it really doesn’t work in this beer. It’s very light and floral but it still overwhelms the incredibly bland base beer. Refreshing enough but is it really beer?

L- Extremely pale; reminds me of champagne. Lively rising big-bubble CO2, but the thin white head vanished in 2-3 seconds on pouring and without lacing.
S- Elderflower hit me the moment I popped the cap. Up close I get another perfumed note towards lychee.
T- Oh mama it's 'perfumed' and very floral! It also comes over as almost containing saccharine, there's a sweet aspect that sticks out without adding richness/body.
F- It's a modern style, and not something I'm that familiar with. The carbonation in the mouth is far higher than in the glass - has extra CO2 been infused? There is a curious sweetness to it to [as above].
O- This beer left me confused. I'm left wondering who would enjoy drinking this. Someone who wants a perfumed carbonated drink that in fact doesn't taste in the least like beer?
Bought from Sainsbury's London W10. Google has articles reporting that this brewery has entered into a major contract to supply Sainsbury's 600 odd supermarkets; quite something for a young and small brewery with currently just two brews in it's range.
£1.80/330ml bottle. BB 28/11/19. I added the listing as 'Fruit and field beer' due to the elderflower, that was in the absence of the lable or brewery website suggesting what style it might be and my having to pick a style to add the original listing and my review. Feel free to ask the Moderators to amend the Style in the listing if it's determined to be something else.

- The lable states that it is gluten free and 'vegan-friendly'. Then stuff about the brewery being carbon-neutral. In comparison the ingredients list is vague 'Beer infused with natural eldeflower flavouring. Contains malted barley' - and that's all they list.
