Quite a popular addition, you can buy it dried from lhbs, pick your own in a month or two or use some cordial. Badger golden champion is a commercial example. If you pick your own be careful as not all flowers are good. If they smell like cat piddle leave them on the bush.

I made some and picked the wrong flowers , it tasted like I imagine what cat pee tastes like also!

agreed, had it in a pub brew once, rather good, can be a tad overpowering though
Yes, it's very easy to add too much, as I found out recently when I added 100g to a batch of wheat beer! Still prefectly drinkable, if a little sharp.
