Tap at Cafe de Koffer. Hazy yellow with white head. Marijuana hops up front, lemonpeel, chalk. Light sweet, bittersweet, under medium bitter. Under medium body, chalky texture, marijuana finish. Bit watery thin, otherwise very nice and sessionable. Could drink this all day long :-))) --- Beer merged from original tick of Pale Ale Citra Sticklebract on 10 Jun 2016 at 17:44 - Score: 7.

Bottle @ Van Moll Brewpub. Clear light orange golden color, medium sized white head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma is lightly malts, hops, nicely citra fruity. Tastes about the same: lightly malts, hops, quite fruity and a very pleasant citra fruity bitter finish. Easy drinkable with suitable body and carbonation. Lovely pale ale, Kernel does it again!

Keg at Sourced Market, St Pancras, 13/05/16 - London rate #2,000. Lightly hazed golden with a decent off White cap that retains well. Nose is orange pith, melon, straw, toasted malt, light bread. Taste comprises bitter citric shreds, light spice, lemon drizzle, soft bread, melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, earthy hop bitterness in the close. Solid APA but not top draw ... A little dry and leafy in the close.

Pure class.
Unclear golden color with a fine white head. Ok lacing down the sides of the glass. Lovely citric hoppy aroma. Good balance between sweetness and bitterness. Medium (+) body and a fine carbonation. Pleasant and easy drinkable. Lovely balanced citric, fruity and pine flavor. Never tried The Sticklebract hop before. Maybe some herbal notes that I have not noticed before. Anyway a lovely Kernel brew as usual.

Bootle at home picked up from the brewery. Classic kernel appearance, clouded golden orange coloured pour with a lasting sticky white head. Aroma is nice soft squishy tropical fruits melded with spicy citrus, mango and orange rind, raw bready malts on the nose as well. Hint of vanilla on the nose. Flavour is composed of semi bready bready grains, little wheat, orange / tangerine,. earthy spicy citrus notes. Mellow earhy hop bitterness in good balance. Palate is grainy and a little thin, semi crisp finish, moderate carbonation. Good pale ale.

Hazy orange - gold beer, tidy white head. Smooth palate, mildly dry with reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth malts bring a light creamy sweetness. Hops start with light pine and mellow skunk. A touch of candy fruit sweetness. The skunk gets stronger and in comes mild generic fruits. Traces of tropical fruits and sherbet. Smooth skunky piney finish. A little off the beaten track and I like this Sticklebract hop.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at the brewery a few days back. Pours mostly clear golden-orange with a frothy, white head. Gorgeous aroma, smacking of dense and juicy citrus fruits, pale bread, some spicy pine needles. Light to medium sweet flavour with sturdy pale bread, pithy orange and grapefruit, juicy melon, mango, tangerine, some white grape, very mellow piney bitterness. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with slight resinous quality, more juicy citrus, mild white grape, some tropical aspect, supporting bready sugars. So vibrant and expressive...it just makes most other beers look silly. I almost finished this beer in one gulp, such was its insane drinkability and deliciousness.

Tap. Friends of Ham, Leeds. Opaque, dark straw colour. Film of white head. Lots of citra. Lemon and orange zest. Soft, spicy herb. Taste is light, pithy bitter. Light dry. Palate is light, but juicy. Light, pithy bitter finish. Decent, although maybe lacking some juiciness.
