Can. Almost clear gold with a cm of white head. 6+ Gentle citrus peel, peach and pine aroma with crackers and a little biscuit. Taste is along those lines but more rather more insistent with fruit giving way to pine and firm bitterness. More refined/ less rambunctious than many SN hoppy beers. Good.

Can. BB Jan 2027. Pours cloudy Golden Yellow with a small head. Biscuit, Bread and a whiff of citrus, peach and pine. Very elegant and harmonic. Tasty as hell. I feel like its the best IPA ive had in months. 4.3. Super classy.

Draught at Lauter medium dense long lasting bubbly head, cloudy vibrant palish orange, aroma of citrus, tropical and just a bit of onion, stone fruit flavor with a bit of green notes and onion, mellow medium bitterness. Nice and drinkable.

Lean and clean but quite muted overall. Maybe a bit faded? Has some citrus peel, pine needles, decently sturdy bitterness. Dried pale biscuits. Drinks fine overall, no faults really, but I expect a bit more expressiveness from SN. Still, it’s enjoyable.

0.355l can. Clear golden body with a white head. Aroma of bready malts, sugar syrup, pine and orange zest. Taste of bready malts, hay, pine, grape seed and lemongrass. Nice, clean pale ale with restrained bitterness. Good one.

Draught keg at the Needle & Pin, Loughborough. Light gold and clear with a small swirl of white head. Light lemony aroma, a little bit of pine, some fresh grass. Tastes bitter but not incredibly so, with light grapefruit and a little bit more pine. Light to medium body with medium carbonation. It's pretty tame... has it been dialled back or am I used to ever increasingly hopped beers? Still it is enjoyable enough.

This is a light bodied ipa with malt on the pale, biscuity side and an ample dose of citrusy, lightly piney hops. It doesn’t stand out for me as exceptional but it’s quite good and easy drinking.
