On tap at The Kernel, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma and flavour brings out loads of piney hops, smooth dry biscuity malt and a light astringency. Exceptionally well-balanced and simplistic in its greatness. Excellent pale ale.

0.33l bottle @ Cask Pub & Kitchen. Doesn't look amazing in the glass this. Deep blurry and mild orangey colored with a dirty quickly disappearing and light sidesticking off-white head. Smells more grainy than apa-ish. Well, OK there are some fresh citrussy tones going on here with a little bit of dark caramel and ripe peaches but the graininess dominates the aroma here. Haven't had that in a kernel beer before. Tastes much better. Fresh, crisp and lots of zesty citrus bitterness. Mild oily in the mouth with a mild oily mouthfeel. Soft grassy, and reminds me of green Mr freeze. Could of course be an old bottle, but that again would be a bit strange. A tasty one with a somewhat disappointing aroma and looks. 09.11.2013

5,6% abv. A yellow beer with a medium and white head. The nose is fresh, fruitfull and tropical, citrusfruits, mangos, some fructose. Taste is slightly tropical, grapefruits, some pine needles, the bitterness is smooth and medium, still enough. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, vivacious to drink. Easy and tastefull pale ale, could be more fruitfull.

Bouteille 33cl de HopDuvel. BB 10.01.2014. Dorée claire, col blanc fin. Arôme offre un bouquet profond herbacé, notes de renfermé-âcre, légères effluves orangées-citronnées, levure et impression de sac de houblons. Palais est fleuri, sec et herbacé pointe fruitée tirant sur le pamplemousse-orangé. Malt pâle, sec et herbacé laissant un palais épicé léger. Note terreuse de grains concassés, léger rappel à des feuilles de tabac. Au final, le profil Amarillo se retrouve un peu noyé.

330ml bottle from Ales by Mail
Bottled 04.09.13 - Pours clear orange with a smooth white head. Aroma of floral hops, grass, crisp maltiness and hints of spices. Taste is floral, spicy, hoppy and fruity with hints of grass and crisp maltiness. Finish is dry, a bit musty fruity and bitter with hints of floral notes, citrus and grass. A bit musty, floral and fruity pale ale, a nice showcase for amarillo hops.
