Very basic gear. Some simple cereal, low bitterness, some creamy malt, biscuit, hay. Drinks easy enough.

Serviceable, certainly. Some pleasant sun-baked pale malts, pine needles, straw, orange rind. Good balance. Nicely drying. Good and drinkable.

Lovely pithy lemon character, wheat flakes, mild yeast, lemongrass, biscuits, mellow bitter straw. Looks gorgeous. Immensely drinkable.

Easygoing, drinkable enough. Pleasant pale biscuits, inklings of mango, tangerine, melon, white grape, soft bitter rind. Basic but fairly refreshing.

Rating 1,000 of THE Kernel Brewery. Had to be one of their best, an EIP. Had the usual hearty dark malt and roasty character. The citrusy brightness is perhaps a bit more forward in this one, leaning the beer some lightness. A little pine, cocoa, lime peel, orange, black coffee. Great balance. Condition is sound. Moreish. But more oily citrus and dry roast to finish. Outstanding. Cheers Kernel.

Tasty in general. On the sweet side. Notes of sun-kissed grains, dry caramel, ripening citrus, grainy bread, mild bitter rind and pine. Deep gold, malty. Effervescent and massaging. A little golden raisin. Enjoyable as a departure from the haze.

You know, it’s not bad. Rather accessible NEIPA. Pleasant juicy citrus, no chalk or oats, some white grape, melon, soft rindy bitterness, pale bread. Massaging carb. A little tropical fruit in the finish, more citrus. Easygoing and quaffable.
