Bottle from Raynville Superstore. It pours hazy bright yellow - gold with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, soft, juicy, plump orchard fruits, apricot, peach, persimmon, orange squash , apple skin, floury bread and grass. The taste is crisp, dry, pleasing bitterness, pithy, zesty, bitter orange peel, kumquat, tangelo, grapefruit, apricot, plum, persimmon, peppery spice, lick of booze, touch green/grassy, floury bread and woodiness. Finish is firm, dry, bitter and zesty. Medium body, moderate carbonation and fluffy mouth feel. Hearty and satisfying. Quite an OG feeling Kernel IPA, which brings me back to the glory days.
