Bright IPA is a thing and this one is straight fire! Pilsner malt, wheat and a touch of buckwheat for a subtle complexity provides a lean platform for the Citra and Nelson to shine. Kept super clean by fermenting with a German lager strain, this bright IPA has notes of gooseberry, classic sauvignon character and subtle diesely resin. Bright IPA to the moon

Tap at Sommar, Waterloo St, Birmingham. Clear gold with smooth white top, good lacing. This one has a leafy funk with gooseberry, white grape light aniseed, mild citrus peel, Mid bodied, semi-drying, modest bitterness. Dank but a nice crispness to it which works quite well.

440ml can drank alongside the hazy version. Clear golden, massive white head. Aroma of gooseberry, grape, white wine, citrus peel. Taste is very vinous, gooseberry, white wine, grape, citrus fruit. Medium bodied. They've executed this style well I think; less bitter than a westie, and juicier more like a NEIPA. Still more west leaning I think but it's really nice. That said, I think the hazy version worked better here. I do wonder why certain brewers are calling Mountain IPAs Bright IPA now though. This is already a incredibly niche IPA substyle being further diluted with other names. A bit weird.
