Pale Ale - Columbus

Bought from the brewery shop near london bridge. Pours to a clear straw / orange colour with a fleeting white head. Aroma is understated with a slight citrus floral and grassy. Very lisght and refreshing on the palete. The finish is a slight bitter that builds. Very pleasent.

500ml bottle from The Kernel Brewery. If you haven’t been and you are in south east London, then go. A mere bus ride from Borough Market. This beer pours a hazy orange gold, with a lasting this off white head. Lovely citrus hoppy aroma. Bit of lemon, lime, grapefruit and clementine on the aroma. Touch of white pepper too. Fullish in the mouth, with then a really good strong hop finish. More white pepper on the bitterness with more clementine and lime flavour. The Kernel Brewery is clearly making some of the most interesting beers in London and the UK at the moment. This is really taking up where Grand Union left off with their single hop series. Really showcasing the hop flavours over an APA base. The beers are really well bottle conditioned as well and the hand bottling ensures no bottle infection problems too. Very drinkable in the body of the beer. Swallow has perfect soft carbonation. Some sweetness from the hops. I really would be very happy if I could drink this on a daily basis. Decent APA

Bottle from Beer Merchants. Bright amber pour with a white head. Fresh citrus nose with light herbs and pine. Fresh hop flavours. Lots of bitter, zesty citrus. Sharp, bitter, hop laden finish. Refreshing.
