On tap at Kernel Bar Bermondsey hazy gold colour lasting white head. Grapefruit gooseberry aroma. Lovely tasty citrus pale ale. Right in my flavour profile some orange as well. Really tasty. Moderate bitterness on the finish. Delicious

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.
