Light haze on this gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Quite a smooth and airy palate but plenty of fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Light malts, a light creamy sweetness. Really don't think these current day Kernel's have the malt bill they used to. Endeavour hops bring a slightly bitterish skunk along with spice and a bit of recessed lemon peel. Soft blackberry led berries on the back end into a light finish. Nice one. English hops rock and this Kernel delivers Endeavour with aplomb.

Bottle form Beer Moth. It pours classic kernel hazy orangey - gold with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh and hearty, bready malts, lemongrass hits you up front, grassy, floral, earth, then grapefruit, touch of marmalade and persimmon. The taste is fairly crisp, dry, pleasing bitterness which lingers, pithy, zesty, lemon, lime, grapefruit, floral, lemongrass, grass, peppery spice, some hearty bready malt and touch of stone fruits (persimmon in particular). Finish is a lingering spicy bitterness. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. I've not seen this hop so well presented in this way. Flavourful and satisfying. Great stuff.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Wine Cellar, Dalston. Pours lightly hazed yellow-gold with a staunch, frothy, pure white head. Lightly sweet with crisp lemongrass, mild floral notes, some grapefruit pith, mellow pale bread sugars, a nip of grass and pine. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Well balanced finish, some further grassy bitterness, light piney resin, citrus rind, more lemongrass. Outstanding.
