330ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with average, thick, dense, firm, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, snow white head. Slightly grainy and strawy, pale malty and slightly herbal-grassy and minimally fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of protein, whiffs of mirabelle. Taste is mildly bitter, herbal-grassy and minimally fruity, hoppy, minimally biscuity as well as minimally grainy, strawy and spicy, pale malty, some residual sweetness, hints of apricot, a touch of mirabelle, some protein.
"Chewy" texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, dense, creamy carbonation.
Well crafted, quite some subtleties - good.

On tap at The Kernel, pours a minimally hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma is fresh and fragrant, with lots of grassy hops, fresh herbaceous notes, and straw. Flavour is very bitter and bright, with intense grassy hop bitterness, herbaceous notes, and straw. Pretty dank authentic, with no shortage of hoppy bitterness. Maybe a bit too vegetal but I can't complain that much. Very good.

Nice stuff. Good light fruity hops. Decent lager feel to it.

Hoppy, malty, dry and bitter. Floral and grassy, bready malts, crisp, clean, very nice.

Draught @ Pien, Helsinki. Crisp, grassy and slightly floral with some hay and grainy maltiness and bitterness. Crushable and pretty good.

300ml bottle bought from the Offie, Leicester and drunk at home. Light yellow and clear with a foamy white head. Gentle aroma, a little bit soapy with somelemon and grapefruit notes. Bitter taste with pithy white grapefruit and some kumquat peel. Astringent finish with more hard citrus in the aftertaste. Certainly drinkable but a bit one-dimensional compared to a lot of Kernels beers.

On tap at The Kernel Taproom . Clear vibrant gold colour lasting white head. Lager aroma. lager mouthfeel is soft and gorgeous. slightly creamy. Ella hops are there but not over the top. I mean it's clean utterly drinkable. lovely white pepper finish with just a touch of tropical fruit. yes a very drinkable lager.
