Bottle sourced from Fuss Club and shared at home in London (06/08/2022) - Delicate yet expressive citrus and exotic fruity notes, some cantaloupe and mango, satsuma, splash of lemon, pale malts, bitter hoppy close.

Stopp 3 på The Bermondsey Beer Mile ble Kernel Brewery Taproom, hvor vi nå er på den andre ølen, også fra fat: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer. Søte sicilianske citroner, lett krydret med appelsin og fersken. Mersmak nok en gang.

Bottle from Westhill Service Station. It pours light hazy golden - orange with a medium frothy white head. The aroma is juicy, tangy, zingy orange citrus, tangerine, melon, touch of pine and iced gems. The taste is crisp, firm dryness, lingering bitterness, touch green, pine needles, green, pithy, zesty, bright, waxy peel, tangerine, kumquat, splash of campari, peppery spice and a slice of farmhouse bread with marmalade with a lasting bitter - dry finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Really grew on me. Moreish.

From tap at the taproom in Bermondsey 07.08.22. Cloudy straw colour. Persistent white head and lacing. Well-balanced aroma and taste of pale malt and various citrus peel. Good! Crisp mouthfeel.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Figs & Grain. Pours lightly hazed gold with a creamy, pure white topping. Gorgeous beer, lovely pale malt base, mild bready notes, juicy and semi-ripe citrus fruit, relaxed rindy-piney bitterness. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Kernel continues to set the standard.
