I got these today, Thanks to Brenden at Flavorah.
I’ve never tasted/smelled Elderflower or Yakima Hops. I’ll have to read up on these so I’ll know what to expect. Anybody with info about these flavors, please give me some tips.

I don’t have any thoughts for the Elder Flower but I am really hoping that the Yakima Hopps is some kind of Barley Malt, that would be awesome…

Elder Flower I removed the top and gave it a sniff. This has a very faint smell to it. I rubbed a drop onto the back of hand and the scent came alive. It’s definitely a floral note, which I no experience with florals.
Yakima Hops Smells like beer.
Pralines A lovely nutty scent. Smell kinda strong… almost a walnut note.
Mango Yep, I’m getting Mango.
Macaroon Potent smell and taste on this one, with a good cookie note.
I’ll mix these up and post my thoughts in about a week.

I’m still getting used to how small it is lol. It is a beautiful town with a roaring beach you could not pay me $ to go swimming. Of course I am an Atlantic coast girl by heart I’d freeze to death first. I’m still wearing sweat pants and hoodies and it’s May but that’s life on the Pacific coast beats 90 degree days and 400.00 electric bills

We wish for 90 degrees here in the summer - I’d probably put on a sweater. Three years ago it was 121F. The average is about 115. Oh yeah…my AC hasn’t been working for about 5 years and I drive a lot. I get really cranky when I’m sweating in the shower.

LOL Probably right, but I still prefer to blame my ex-wife. It’s easy to blame her for global warming, California drought and ISIS.

How do you get free samples?
Where ever your at with 121F I need not go there lol …FL usually will have a handful of days > 100F but at least I had an AC when I lived there. Here in Oregon there is no central AC ( I took care of that and bought a portable one ) but now that I’m coastal living I rarely need it mainly needed it when I lived in Seattle last year. It’s 55-59 F here most days and yes I’m wearing a sweater you’d probably love it.

We’re lucky to see 59 in the winter. I’m near Palm Springs where it’s all beach and no ocean. Originally I was raised in San Francisco where 60 is about the average summer temp LOL. Why oh why did I move to a place where you need oven mitts to drive a car???

Maybe that is when you lost your marbles ? !!! I can understand tho FL is the same way your car was like the surface of hell you’d have to vent it and basically wear mitts to touch the stirring wheel just craziness.
