Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with balanced light juicy hop bitterness. Tidy thirst quenching pale.

Hazy gold beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a modest sweetness, probably just enough for this beer, although I still miss the old Kernel malt profile. The hop diet brings cooling pine. Subtle Enigma black pepper, whisper of berry fruits if you are looking for em. A kinda generic fruitiness, slightly floral, brings up the back end into a crisp finish. Whisper of Ella pineapple. Nice pale ale, if slightly muted in the hop character.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from the brewery taproom. Pours clear yellow-gold with a creamy, pure white head. Lightly sweet with gorgeous floral hops, lemon peel, lean pale malts, nips of pine needles. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Superb balance to finish, more floral notes, restrained bitterness, more citrus, peel. Wildly drinkable. Spectacular.

Bottle from the brewery online shop. Pours hazy yellow gold with a thin white head. Aromas of strong tropical fruit and citrus. Taste has some bitter green tomato stalk. Pineapple, guava. Bitter juicy finish. Good stuff.
