Can. A hazy yellowish gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, seemingly bringing the dryness, a light creamy sweetness imparted. The second Southern Cross dipa of the night. This one again emphasises the lemon character of this hop.

Soft cooling pine throughout. A light and semi dry finish. Yeah. This hop seems to have come in to a maturity in 2026 and I am digging its unique character. To the brewers reading this rate, ha ha, here is an idea for a dipa. Southern Cross, loadsa Lemondrop, Luminosa and Sorachi Ace. What a wonderful lemon dipa that would be
