7.6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Bottle. Hop dominated, yet balanced IPA. Very fruity, but with a bitter finish and a biscuity sweetness. Great stuff!

Unclear golden. White head. Strong aroma of grape fruit, pine shoots and new-mooved lawn. Lots of bitter grapefruit in taste, with superb aftertaste. Well balanced with moderate malt.

Bottle from the brewery. 7.0%. Hazy, gold colour. Thin, sticky, bright white head. Super fresh, Simcoe hop aroma to this. Like sticking your nose into a freshly opened bag full. Sweet, biscuit, grainy maltiness by way of back up, but with a lightly dank fustiness, that brings everything together. Taste is sweet and bitter in equal proportion. Light, herby, basil like oiliness on the palate. Finish is long, herbal, spicy bitterness. The beans.

06/07/2013 330ml bottel (thanks Theydon_Bois!). Dorata carica, mediamente limpida, schiuma biancastra abbondante e persistente. Al naso sentori di pesca, agrumi e resina, malto ben percettibile. In bocca una base di malto (caramello) e un finale amaro prolungato. Corpo medio, carbonazione soft. Non male.

Very murky golden body with lots of yeast flecks floating around. This is yeasty even by usual Kernel standards. Massive white head that holds well. Lots of sticky lacing marks. Pungent hoppy aroma - freshly cut blood orange, lychee, grapefruit, candy and pine resin. Sharper than the sweet aroma suggests. Orange, grapefruit, pine and pineapple. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft carbonation. A very fruity IPA. Surprisingly smooth and drinkable for its strength.
