There are currently 18 ales with "Spring" in their name in the PintPicker database, so we thought we'd have a look at the data to see if we can draw any conclusions about what characteristics a 'generic' Spring beer might have. To cut a long story very short we've found that the average Spring beer is 4.2% ABV, golden in colour, medium bodied and not too bitter with a biscuity base, some floral hoppiness and zesty citrus notes. In fact, it looks like this:

The closest beer to this in the database is Norfolk Square's Stiletto (99% similar) "a single hop brew using a fragrant and flowery aroma hop, with a citrus character". And the closest Spring beer is Ramsbury Spring Barley (94%) making this the most generic of Spring Ales.
