Bottle from Sterk Amsterdam. Aroma is fruity hops with citrus, some peach, tropical notes, light grassy, and a hint of pine. Flavour is light sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Very fine APA, though not the most impressive from Kernel (we're spoiled).

Bottle cunningly disguised as Simcoe Enigma. 5.2%. Wine Rack, Sharrow, Sheffield. Vibrant gold. Soft haze. Almost fully lacing, Kernel swede. Looks great. Nose has floral, honeyed hop. Crisp malts. Notes of pineapple stalk and melon rind. Taste is bright, crisp and clean bitterness. Minimal amount of honey sweetness. Light to medium body. Fine, brisk carbonation. Lingering citrus bitterness and some minerality on the finish. I could do a bucket full of this.

Bottke from BeerRitz. It pours hazy bright golden - orange with a thick, foamy white head. The aroma is soft, bright, fresh, juicy peach, persimmon, tangerine, bit of mango, floury bread and grassy meadow. The taste is firmly dry, subdued bitterness, softness, clean, peach, persimmon, tangerine, clementine, grassy, pine, floral, light spice and some bread. The finish is firmly dry, with a twits of citrus. Medium body and fine, airy carbonation. Nuanced and incredibly balanced. Effortless to drink. Delicious.

0,33 flaske (fra Holmens importkoffert), urettferdig fordelt på RBHD-treff i Vatlandsvåg juli-18: uklar korngylden med ok skum. Mango, papaya, overmoden ananas, litt kokos og vanilje (!) i skjønn forening. Frisk humlearoma og tydelig bitterhet i avslutningen, som også er preget av mersmak.
