Sirlige notater fra en hyggelig kveld hos Johan, alle øl delt med ham, Egil, Jone og Anna. 0,5 flaske fra Ovesens innholdsrike importkoffert: uklar gylden med fint skum som varer. Tropiske frukter, søt citrus og litt marmelade. Hvit pepper og litt kokte grønnsaker og urter i den noe ufriske avslutningen.

Bottled 15/7/20 Creamy white head stayed on an unclear pale gold body. Confectionery & stone fruit aroma. Medium bodied, pillowy over the tongue with lighter crisp clean back. Confectionery, stone fruit, sweet citrus & mango tastes with tangy hoppy finish. First Class

Bottle from Honest Brew. It pours lightly hazy golden with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, ripe melon, papaya, gooey, doughy bread, doughy bread, jelly beans tgeand gummy bears. The taste is dry, some bitterness, green, pine, some dankness, melon, powdery papaya, pithy citrus, floury bread, some spice and jelly beans with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Interesting, but not up to the usual high kernel levels IMO.

Keg at the brewery taproom during the Four Friends event. Pours clear gold with a foamy, white head. Has some dry, dirty sock hop character, a bit of grassy bitterness, citrus rind. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Moderately dank in the finish, light pine, further bitter grass. Interesting stuff. Good overall.

Kernel tap room, keg. Hazy gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Smooth and slightly dry palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Airy pale malts provide a modicum of sweetness. HBC431 brings good cooling pine over a light bitterness that is an equal mix of orange and grapefruit with a touch of lemon thrown in. Towards the back end some estery melon emerges along with a softer piney tropical fruit vibe that I would more commonly associate with this hop. Quite a spicy bitter finish.
