Aroma is a bit sweet and syrupy with some orange coming through. Flavour is quite bitter with some bittersweet orange oil coming through strongly. The balance on this one is more in the direction of oily, bittersweet fruitiness and less so on the lighter tropical and citrusy fruit flavours.

Poured at home from a 330ml bottle (Jan โ12) into tulip style glass. Pours a rich murky/fully hazed orange, you cannot see your fingers through the glass! A small white head forms but soon dies off to a gentle puddle on top of the beer. Wonderful hop and pine smells assault the nose along with citrus fruit, predominately grapefruit. The taste is all hops, citrus fruit largely grapefruit as per the nose, maybe a sweeter fruit flavour in the background possibly apricot and also a sweet carmel undercurrent, but very subtle and understated. Great mouthfeel this beer massages the throat, medium bodied with minimal carbonation leading to a bitter-sweet semi-dry aftertaste.

Keg at The Grand Union, Westbourne Park, London. A hazy golden coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, malty, citrus aroma. Tastes similar hoppy, malty, tropical fruit, citrus fruit, slight bitterness. A solid, complex, elegant brew indeed and it is from London!.

Bottle from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy golden body with a medium white head. Steady carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of melon rind, papery malt and green banana. Flavour of lemon, grass and a bitter, pithy finish. Medium mouthfeel with a smooth mouthfeel. Light fizz. Sadly, this is a shadow of the beer I tried in 2017 (rated 4.3); itโs dry and pithy, nothing at all like the dank, juicy notes I associate with the Galaxy hop (and most Kernel IPAs). Disappointing.

Bottled. A murky dark golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of lemons, straw, hops, and a bit of malt. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of hops and medium notes of lemons, straw, and yeast, leading to a dry finish.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours a cloudy golden with an off-white head. Comes a slow gusher. Lovely citrusy and lightly piney aroma. Medium body, sweet fruit, then heavy citrus and pine. Bitter finish - bordering astringent. 120412
