Sirlige notater fra en hyggelig kveld hos Johan, alle øl delt med ham, Egil, Jone og Anna. 0,33 flaske fra Ovesens innholdsrike importkoffert: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer. Godt modne appelsiner, engelsk appelsinmarmelade og litt krydder (hvit pepper). God maltsmak og fin bitterhet i avslutningen.

Draft @ Dynamo, Kernel TTO.
Dorée pâle, col blanc.
Arôme est bien parfumé par ce mono houblon - ici sur de fins effluves rappelant le melon voire une petite note de camomille. Repris en retrait par des notes de malts en appui.
Palais est sur un effet 'dank' - melon et groseille rouge avec une petite note de résineux mais encore de pêche et d'abricot. Note épicée rappelant la noix de muscade.Belle pétillance avec un fini assez sec et poussiéreux tout en gardant cette approche 'old school IPA'.

Bottle, direct from the brewery clocking in at 6.9%. It pours lightly hazy yellow - blonde with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh and fruity, plenty of summer berries, rose wine, ripe melon, apricot, orangey citrus, Fanta and bread. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, bitter, snappy, fragrant, floral, spicy, nip of alcohol, pithy, zesty, bitter citrus peel, some greenness, grassy, herbal vibes and a more subdued melon fruitiness than on the snout. Finish is drying and bitter linger. Medium body and soft, fluffy carbonation. A solfi IPA all in all. Not Kernel's best offering, but enjoyable nonetheless.
