For the 2021 edition of Sunshine Under Ground we’ve forgone the lactose. It’s still super pale and retains that soft velvetiness thanks to a base of Pilsner, oat and wheat. A light touch of Cascade and Lemondrop, followed by a heavy touch of double dry zesting leaves this beer with all the lemony goodness it deserves.

440ml can. Pours murky pale golden with a huge head. Massive lemony aroma, very zesty. Taste is sweet, lemonade, sorbet, zesty citrus, lemon, creamy smooth. Medium bodied, soft-moderate carbonation. Very nice use of lemons, perhaps a touch too sweet overall.

Can from Glasbanken. Unclear golden with massive, frothy, white head. Lemony aroma, almost urinal cake like. Slightly artificial. Taste is yeasty lemon cake / cough drop. Fairly sweet, with a short lemongrass finish. Interesting, but not my thing.

Can split at L6, thanks to Danny, 20/08/18. Hazed golden yellow with a decent off white cap. Nose is pale malts, big lemon drop, citric sherbets, grass. Taste comprises floral bite, more lemon drop, lemon sherbet, airy malts, toasted grians, perfume, mellow citric pith. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced hop bitterness. Ok refresher but a bit too much perfume on this one.
