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 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.

Can from Lidl. Clear gold, small white head. Aroma of citrus, pine and a hint of caramel. A nice tangy fruitiness through the taste, I pick up lime and grapefruit. A solid malt base behind. Has a grassy bitter bite in the finish. Near medium bodied and smooth texture. Decent stuff.
