Springtime evokes feelings of awakening and freshness, as does Spring Shield with its light golden colour and citrussy, floral notes in both the aroma and taste. A small amount of wheat malts lightens the taste and confers a very subtle biscuity taste. Just the beer to chase away those dark winter days.

Hand-pulled pint at ’The Brewery Tap’: the National Brewery Centre in Burton-on-Trent on 10 Apr 2013. Pours a golden yellow with a white but thin head. Floral nose and taste: like an English Summer garden (wet). I prefer it’s big brother (White Shield) but this was OK, if a little delicate and subtle in its flavourings and depth of body. Malts do appear later in the taste, mildly biscuity, although not a dry, bitter beer it isn’t really sweet either. Some fruity notes also in the blend as the beer warms in the glass.

cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A golden beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of hops, malt, and flowery hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of flowery hops, malt, and straw, leading to a lightly bitter finish.
