Hazy yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Light malts, slightly thin, modestly sweet. Nettley hops, spicy grapefruit. Trace HB grape if you are looking for it. Very modest orange. Light spicy finish. Bitterish linger. Good an drinkable but wanted more from the hops.

Very hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and fairly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth malts, mild creamy sweetness. Very smooth actually, guess that's the oats. Lightly spicy bitterish mid. Tangerine hops, a little peel. Trace of HB grape and a whisper of candy fruits. Smooth spicy bitterish finish. Nice.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at Offie & Toffee. Pours lightly hazy gold with a tight, creamy white head. Nice aroma, lots of fresh pithy citrus, lemon and grapefruit. Light sweet flavour, more pithy citrus, melon, ripening lemon, smooth pale bread. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Well balanced finish, some subtle rindy bitterness, more fresh tangerine and grapefruit. Solid.

Keg at the Axe - Stokey. Pours unclear yellow-gold with a tight, creamy white head. Nice pithy aroma, lemon and grapefruit. Light sweet flavour with a drop of flinty dryness, more lemons and grapefruit, subtle piney bitterness, rind, dry pale malts. Light bodied with average carbonation. Lovely finish, more pithy citrus, a little melon, juicy grapefruit. Outstandingly drinkable. Classic Kernel.

Bottle from the brewery in Bermondsey and drunk at home. Hazy dirty golden brown colour lasting thick white head. That'll be the oats then on the head. Yep a decent pale ale from Kernel, very drinkable, good mouthfeel due to the oats, some of that white grape white wine flavour from Hallertau a little grapefruit from Centennial. Yes. Enormously drinkable and just delicious. Really good.

Bottle from Cork & Cask. Milky golden body with a medium white head that holds well. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of green banana, biscuit, lemon sponge and white grape. Flavour of melon rind, orange cream and grassy hops. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A classy beer.
