From tap at The Harp, London, 25.01.20. Cloudy pale straw colour. Nor much head. Refreshing aroma and taste of Anerican hops, lemon, grapefruit and sorrel. Crisp mouthfeel.

Bottle from Oddbins. It pours hazy pale gold with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, peaches & cream, bread and floral notes.. The taste is crisp, drying, grassy, chive, floral, stone fruits, citrus peel, minerals, straw and spice with a dry, grassy finish. Light - medium body and moderate carbonation. Taste is a bit muted and perhaps too drying. OK APA, but a bit sub standard for Kernel.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from Clapton Craft. Pours mostly clear gold with a frothy, white head. Great aroma, a little dank hop, semi-ripe citrus, pale bread, mango. Light sweet flavour with low bitterness, some lime, papaya, tangerine, a little pine. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Balanced finish with dry pale bread, more mango, melon, pine, lime, tangerine, papaya. A little pithy dryness. Great stuff.

Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, smooth and semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts. Hops are bitterish, pithy bitter. Smooth floralness and a little candy fruits. Light orange peel. Semi dry finish. Bitter linger. Decent but I’m glad I have another, might need to drop a bit.

Much smoother, lost it’s pithy greenness, now smooth floral and pine with those great Sticklebract candy fruits. Mild bitterness. Very nice.

330ml bottle. Bottled 26.01.17. Pours slightly hazy orange with a bubbly white head. Aroma of chewy juicy fruitiness, hints of herbal notes, grass, pine and citrus. Taste is fresh, chewy fruity and tropical with some hints of pine, citrus and candy notes. Finish is a bit stuffy, fruity and citrusy with hints of honey melon and candy. A bit unbalanced, and quite untypical hop profile here.
