Bottle. Waitrose. 3%. Hazed gold. Lovely Kernel swede. Light pineapple tinged hop. Mineral. Bit of peach stone. Light bitterness. Very refreshing and super easy drinking. Lots of flavour for the minuscule ABV. Dry-ish finish. Good gear.

Bottle from House Of Trembling Madness. Black body with a tan head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of blueberry, espresso and roasted malt. Flavour of orange, dark chocolate and Twiglets. Medium to full body with a chewy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is the beer style I most love from the Kernel, and this is a rich and bitter beauty.

Bottle from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy golden body with an off-white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of peach, lemon yoghurt and pumpkin. Flavour of pine and peach. Medium to full body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. A solid and very drinkable DIPA. It doesn’t have a wow factor though.

Bottle. Advent box. Almost black. God tier swede. Good earthy leafy spicy hoppage and dark roast malt with a whiff of ashy coffee. Turkish kind of thing. Dry and bitter with a bare flicker of malt sweetness. Clean and almost puckering on the palate. Dry bitter finish. Delivers the goods.

Gorgeous brew. Lightly dank, a little white pepper, plump citrus fruits, pale bread, mild rindy bitterness, notes of peach, melon, nectarine. Super drinkable.

Can’t fault it, really. Nice restrained citrus hop character, mellow bitterness, supportive lean pale malts. Excellent mouthfeel, massaging carb. Moreish and balanced.

Bottle from Raynville Superstore. It pours jet black with a sturdy brown head. The aroma is rich, super dark roasted malt, charred pine, umami, sticky liquorice, allsorts toasted sesame seeds, cacao, pipe tobacco, some dark and dried fruits. The taste is firmly dry, bitter, chewy, toothy, rather savoury, plenty of umami, molasses, big hit of liquorice, burnt toast, dark chocolate, cacao nimbs, burnt toast, dried fruits, fruit cake, burnt pine and a lick of booze with a dark roasted finish. Fulsome body and moderate carbonation. Rich and robust. Perhaps a touch too savoury for it to compete against some of the other editions of this, but great nonetheless.

Wow that’s good. Reminds me of the very best out of VT. A little dank, a bit tropical, supportingly bitter. Some tangerine, peach, pee, rind, background pale malts. Moreish. Balanced bittersweet finish. Superb.
