Hazy pinky gold beer, small bubbly pale apricot colour head. Palate is light and dry and crispy. A nice light plummy note keeps the Kernel Saison lemony tartness in check. There is a whisper of Mosaic here, the mildest skunk, but again, there could be a whole lot more for me. Crisp finish. Pretty good and pretty drinkable.

On draught at Tilt for the Kernel 10th Anniversary TTO. Reddish taeny brown, mostly clear with an off-white head. Incredible aroma, with the meaty fruitiness of the Mosaic taking on the tartness of the plum. Floral notes, pure vanilla bean and light smoke are part of the nesultant aroma. The taste jars a bit more, with the tartness of the saison meeting a hoppy balance. Light carbonation. Interesting stuff.
