On keg at the Bow Bar. Appearance - cloudy golden orange with a pleasant thin head. Nose - slight struck match and chicken skin thing going on. Taste - intense lemon and lime. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - i have to say, this might be the least exciting beer of today. Needed more on the nose and taste didn’t really step up either.

Bottle from St Albans beer shop, St Albans, Herts. A dark brown/black coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Roasty, malty, chocolate aroma. Tastes similar, roasty, malty, chocolate, slightly bitter. It is decent enough but not worth sending half way around the world when we have fantastic Kernel porters to hand.
