(Keg at North Laine Brewhouse, 20250609) The beer poured pale amber and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had honey, sulphur and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were honey, fruitiness, butter, sulphur and bitterness. Aftertaste had honey, sulphur and bitterness. A special one I'd say.

Keg draught at North Laine brewpub, Brighton. Light yellow, hazy with a small ring of white head. Sweet lemon sugar aroma, not much else. Taste is also sweet with a sour hard citrus twist. Light body with extremely heavy carbonation. Very one-dimensional and far too sweet but refreshing on a sunny day.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#2. LONDON. Transiting through London waiting to board a fourth train of the day, but with enough time to enjoy the South Bank show of people walking along the riverside in front of the National Theatre... with a beer of course! Well carbonated hoppy citrus brew, mildly dry in the palate. Sweet taste with citric bitter blast in aftertaste.

Can from Lidl. Dark gold, small white head. Resonable mango flavour with a decent floral fop coming through. Semi-tart with a decent hoppy bitterness. Decent.

Can from Asda @ 5.9%. Laine are certainly getting their beers into supermarkets recently, Lidl, Tesco and now Asda. Light hazed golden brown with decent fluffy white head. Citrus, marzipan, grapefruit, dusty-floral aroma. Taste of citrus peel, big grapefruit note, pine, resin. Medium bodied, slick, semi-drying close. Laine seem to be a brewery that are going craft but seem several years behind the curve. Here they've created a West Coast IPA that's pretty decent. Nothing madly exciting but I enjoyed it.
