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.

Can from SN's UK webshoppe. It pours crystal clear yellow - gold with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, clean, pleasing floral vibes, spring blossom, soft citrus, lemon curd, airy malts and crisp biscuit. The taste is crisp, dry, super clean backdrop, pleasing level of mellow bitterness, grapefruit, lemon peel, pomelo, spring florals, prickly pine and peppery notes with a dry, finish. Average body and moderate, supportive carbonation. Super crushable and quenching. Moreish.

12 oz can. Aroma has notes of citrus (tangelo), biscuity malt, latex. Pours hazy golden with a one finger off-white head with decent retention. Taste has a moderate building to high pithy bitterness with flavors like the aroma. Carbonation is prickly to creamy.

About to have a beer called springfest on the eve of a winter storm of the century. Pour is a very light looking blond with a large white head. Aroma is grapefruit and lemon hops. Flavor is more bitter grapefruit hops. No malt to get in the way of the hops. She's a bitter one and quite tasty.
