Can from Lidl. Pours a cloudy gold with small white head, modest retention. Floral and coconut aroma, light citric note. Taste of coconut with lemon and lime tangy hints, tea, on top of a rather basic malt profile. Medium bodied, chewy, moderate carbonation, decent drying close with long bitterness. Its ok, I was worried it was going to be flavoured with coconut extract which seemed odd for a pale. However its just hopped with Sabro and Sorachi Ace.

Can from Lidl. Pours a light cloudy gold with small head, some retention and lacing. Aroma of pine, citrus peel and grass. OK. Taste of biscuit and cracker like sweet malts mixed in with a pine resin, then a touch of citrus and tropical fruit tang and a grassy finish. Fairly basic but its not heavy and there is a nice balance to it. A smooth mouthfeel gives its a session quality. I quite enjoyed it.

440ml can from Lidl, Skegness. Cloudy gold pour with moderate sized white head, nice lasting head with some lacing. Aroma of citrus, lime peel, herbs, burning plastic but maybe that's the yeast. Taste is citrus, gooseberry, grapefruit, lime zest, pale malts. Light to medium bodied, light stickiness. Very good IPA for the price point.
