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.
