Color amarillo 'natillas' pálido y opaco bajo una espesa y cremosa corona de espuma blanca, el aspecto es impecable. Aroma afrutado y herbal con fuertes notas cítricas y resinosas. En boca es pura fantasía, fondo maltoso salpicado de divertidas y chispeantes punzadas cítricas, herbales y resinosas con final amargo y astringente. Por si no fuese suficiente el disfrute con su aspecto, aroma, textura y sabor nos regala ese "puntillo" extra de felicidad con sus 7%ABV...Sublime.

330ml bottle. Hazy, yellow-ish, bright golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, slowly osteoporosing, moderately lacing, snow white head. Tropical and citrusy fruity, slightly herbal-leafy, hoppy aroma, minimally biscuity, pale malty background, notes of lemon, some coconut, mandarine, pineapple. Taste is sweet-ish, slightly biscuity, pale malty and citrusy and tropical fruity as well as slightly herbal-leafy hoppy, notes of lemon, pineapple, some coconut, mandarine; slightly dry finish.
Creamy-watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, dense, creamy, mildly prickly carbonation.
Well crafted, nice hop flavours covering quite a wide spectrum of the whole scale of flavours - pretty good.

Bottle from Raynville. It pours cloudy dirty blonde with a thick fluffy white head. The aroma is bright and character, green coconut, damp herbal, aniseed, vanilla, melon, spicy lime and pineapple chunks.... Some similarities to sorachi and sabro. The taste is firmly dry, punchy bitterness, sappy, damp herbal, aniseed, cinnamon, vanilla, melon, hearty, kick of alcohol, pithy, waxy citrus peel, grapefruit rind, fragrant, floral and honeydew melon with a lingering bitter green finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Very interesting hop profile. Engaging and robust.

Bottle at home in the garden after another 20 km in the woods, and summer heat, 13th July 25. Pours a light hazy yellow golden. Aroma is citrus and coconuts. Taste is bitter, citrus and aromatic with coconuts. Love the earthy bitter edge

Keg at Hop Locler, Southbank Market. Aroma is bitter. Vinous and fruity. Herbal. Perhaps a hint of coconut, although the label.just said HBC 1019 and no mention of Sabro. Pale hazy golden. Thick foamy white head. Flavourwise we have more coconut alongside herbs and a Vinous sourness and bitterness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Sorry, The Kernel but I am just not a fan of the hop flavours. Not one for me.
