Elderflower Liqueur

Category: Floral Liqueur

Date Tasted:
Country: France
Alcohol: 20%
Straw color. Aromas and flavors of elderflower, citra hops, Mandarina Bavaria hops with pineapple, flowers, herbs, and grapefruit, and orange peel and papaya juice with a syrupy, vibrant, fruity sweet medium-to-full body and a tingling, compelling, medium-long finish revealing overtones of elderflower, distilled and candied hops, and mango and mint. Interesting and complex as this is not just the floral and sweet elderflower Liqueur one expects, but seems to use the whole plant and include a unique herbaceous quality.
