Can. Hazy orange gold beer, good size pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and has a fine minerally crispness. Fluffy malts bring a mild sweetness. Citra is hop that will out muscle Mandarina Bavaria every time, but there is a reasonable balance here. Quite a floral hop overlays mellow orange and mandarin citrus. Light crisp pine into a light crisp finish. Decent pale ale but not top notch by Kernel standards.

The taste is fairly crisp, firm dryness, decent bitterness, fresh pine, grass, orange blossom, pithy, zesty, zingy, bitter orange, tangerine, campari, touch of mango and peppery spice with a bitter / dry finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Super rounded ans fluffy. Good pine and orange citrus. Chuggable dot org.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Figs & Grain. Pours hazed yellow-gold with a frothy, white head. Lightly sweet with nice pale bread notes, tangerine, a little rindy bitterness, accents of pine, white grape, melon. Light to medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Balanced, refreshing finish, more pale bread, citrus fruits, mild rindy bitterness. Outstanding.
