Sample at ACBF. Robust porter with creamy, dense, light beige head and near black colour; pleasant and fairly complex aroma of walnuts, bitter chocolate, dried citrus peel, hemp, some ’natural’ iron, coffee grounds; sweetish caramelly taste with dried fruits, increasing roasted bitterness in the end as well as citrussy and peppery hop bitterness, drying the finish. Very good start of a new brewery, but I hadn’t really expected anything less from this brewer.

from the bottle, a cloudy dark brown to black. no head on my pour. Nose is sweet, a little vegetable with chocolate and roasted coffee. dark fruits galore. very earthy taste with roast dominating this. not all that sweet. another spot-on Kernel mouthfeel.

Draft sample @ ACBF 2015. Dorée claire, col blanc. Arôme offre un bouquet fruité et fleuri, avec un citra qui reste un peu trop discret, principalement au niveau des vertus tropicales qui le caractérisent. Malt reste discret et en retrait oscillant vers un pils. Palais est légèrement fruité, pas vraiment le punch que j’attendais de ce single hop, et surtout du citra mais laissant assez de notes fruitées - agrumes pour rester rafraichissant. Amertume reste modéré. Malt moyen légèrement pâle et avec une pointe de pils.

Sampled draft @ ACBF 2015. Dark brown, little bubbles. Mineral nose, almost touch sour, mocha, sweetness, chocolate,… Taste is first bitter herbal, followed by sweetness, light roasty, big dry-out, little tart, roast, earthly. Really dries-out the mouth. Touch thin. Prob. not ready yet like the rest of his beers. Needs some work still. (Thanks for sharing people!!!)

Draft @ ACBF 2015. De couleur orangée, col blanc fin. Arôme est légèrement fruité avec une pointe de citronné à l’anglaise très EKG. Rétro de grains. Palais est malté avec ce côté pâle avec une pointe crystal. Une note houblonnée très anglaise avec ce houblon caractéristique. Le tout reste très léger et dont l’amertume est également présente mais avec une influence de bitter - noble anglais.

Tasted at ACBF 2015, can’t believe I’m the first one... Had a good chat with the brewer and though I am a bit concerned about Emelisse’s future now, I am equally convinced his new brewery will gain lots of attention. This one poured a slightly hazy golden blonde colour under a steady, moussy, yellowish white head; aroma is dry-hopped yet subtle, gracious and ’friendly’ APA all the way through (more APA than IPA indeed), with suggestions of fresh lemon peel, field flowers, white grapes and pineapple; fruity taste, vivid and refreshing with a lemony sourish touch, hint of bready malts in the middle but the floral and slightly citrussy Citra hops get all the credits, ensuring a long, drying, citrus peel, flowery finish with a hint of the initial fruitiness still shining through. Subtly lemony, very refreshing, quenching example of its style, to say the least.
