Ljusgul disig vätska med medelhögt skum. Frisk och citrussyrlig med mycket zest och rejäl beska. Frisk, fräsch och krispig. Trevlig

Pours hazy golden with large but weak head. Lots of citrus on the nose with notes of cookie dough. Body on the thin side. Flavour is lots of citrus; lime, lemon and grapefruit. The citrus gets a bit too much in the long run.

Can. An unclear golden beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of citrus fruits, spices, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrus fruits, spices, hops, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

440ml can. Another weirdly hazy westie from Burning Sky, big white head. Aroma of zesty orange and grapefruit, lightly floral/grassy, pine. Taste is the same, zesty citrus, mandarin, grapefruit, floral/grassy and a nice piney bitter finish. Medium bodied. As good as Elusive's version but I'm really not a fan of Burning Sky's WC IPAs being so hazy now. I've had actual NEIPAs with less haze than this!

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from the Kernel taproom. Pours clear yellow-gold with a fluffy, pure white head. Light-medium sweet flavour with a lovely pithy citrus character, lemon rind, a little white grape, melon, lemongrass and grapefruit, pale bread. Light to medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Super clean finish, more pithy notes, mild rindy-grassy bitterness, lean pale malts. Very highly drinkable.

Can from Against The Grain. Hazy golden body with a white head that holds well. Fine carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of pineapple, grapefruit and flower stems. Flavour of grass, lemon and underripe melon. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. A tight, bitter IPA. This is excellent.

Can. Beer Central Sheffield. Is there any way of avoiding users on here? Fuck sake. Hazed straw gold. Decent white foam. It ain’t no Kernel swede though. Lean sweet malt. Some pine needle. Some sweet citrus flesh. Taste has plenty of sweetness with a bright fruity bitterness. Easy drinking overall. Moderate bitterness to finish. Bog standard IPA. Disappointing given the brewing pedigree.
