powerhouse freshness in the hop profile, featuring biting grapefruit and tropical fruit. A certain mustiness and astringency plays under the fruitiness. Quite a dense flavour package for an IPA.

Third of a pint (keg) in The Boot on Charter Day, 1st March 2025. golden body, white affair on top. Citrus aroma and taste, as you'd expect from the Citra hop.

Bottle from Burg Bieren, Ermelo. Fruity hoppy aroma with citrus, orange, pale malt, grapefruit, some tropical notes, light pine. Flavour is nicely bitter with low sweetness. Medium body. Well-rounded IPA.

Bottle from lowcostbeer.com, consumed 3 months past BBE although it was only bottled 7 months ago. Big believers in freshness. Maybe I shouldn't sully the majesty of Kernel by rating one of their out of date beers on t'internet. Nah screw that, I expect it will still be bloody nice. Cloudy gold with a light orange hue, nice consistent white top. Nice hoppy citrus zest and pine aroma with a touch of passionfruit. Delicious flavour wise with orange and lime zest, grapefruit, pine and hint of tropical. Reasonable punchy bitterness. Medium bodied, semi-drying, soft carbonation. Yes very nice indeed.

Keg at The Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell, London. Nice sweet happy aroma. The bitterness was prominent. It's well made but nothing mind blowing imo.

Bottle 330ml @ home Pours hazy golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, citrus, grape, orange and a hint of zest and pine. Taste is light to medium sweet and medium bitter with a long citrus, grape and orange fruity finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft to fizzy.

Almost clear, golden color and a nice white head. Fruity nose, lime, grapefruit, faint tropical fruits, grassy. Grassy, piney, grapefruit and grapefruit-peel. Hints of bergamot. Bitter-hoppy and long lasting finish. Thx to Bryan B. for this bottle.
