Okay foam on a mostly clear gold body with okay carbonation. Big musty hop aroma, vegetal and candied burlap, burning plastic in a good way. Taste is smooth piney sweetness, ending oily and full. Flavour could be teased out some more but otherwise this is very fine.

From keg at The Harp, London, on tour to 22 southern counties with OGJ and EE 08.01.19. Cloudy pale yellow. Aroma and taste of lemon, lime, lychee, sorrel and a hint of burnt circuit boards. Citrus bitterness is lingering on.

Yet another Kernal hop juice. And I like it.
Cloudy yellow color with a fine white head. Pleasant nice hoppy aroma with a fine intensity. Mellow carbonation level. Pleasant and easy to drink. Semi dry ending, and a fine lasting tail. Fruity, pine, herbal and citric/grapefruit hoppy flavor. Tasty and refreshing stuff.
[On tap at BrewDog Seven Dials - Covent Garden in London, England]

One of the countless Kernel APAs, this one with Galaxy, bottle from Gedeelde Vreugde, cheers Christof! Lightly lacing, medium thick, egg-white, moussy head with dissolving middle over a lightly hazy, peach-hued straw golden beer with greenish tinge. Aroma of dried passionfruit, white bread, stale lime juice, cheese rind and herb cheese, marihuana, chicken spices. Cleanly fruity onset, sweetish and sourish with notes of green banana, some lychee and some passionfruit, softish carb, smooth and bit oily mouthfeel; bready malt base, retaining a degree of sweetishness in the finish whilst getting buried under a firm, grapefruity hop bitterness with some granadilla- and orange-like aspects retronasally but otherwise quite cheesy, peppery in the mouth. Already turned a tad cheesy and lacking in the luscious tropical fruit bouquet I associate with Galaxy, this sample was clearly too old, but some of the fruitiness is still there and I did enjoy drinking it.
