Leighton Profile

A typically well balanced SN beer. I’d say doesn’t go full haze - both in look and character. Some tropical fruits, a little pine, rind, tangerine, supportive pale malts. Understated boozy boost. The sweetness is nicely rounded off by the hops. Just a nicely balanced, highly drinkable beer, especially given the strength.

Jumbo Jungle Juice from Vault City

Wild stuff. Really is like a pure tropical fruit smoothie. Can’t detect much of any booze. Lots of mango, tangerine, guava, grapefruit. Low acidity. Nip of citric bite. Very tasty, if a little nutty.

Wow, that’s exceptional, even by Kernel’s typical world-class standard. A little juicier than the usual Table Beer, nicely pithy, limited minerality, soft rindy bitterness, a few pine needles. Clean and economical. Massively drinkable.

It’s not so bad. Has a pleasant floral-citrus vibe to it. Moderate sweetness. So long as it’s cold, it’s pretty enjoyable.

Bottle many big thanks to Bunce. I gather the beer has been aged a few years. Frankly, I think it’s peaking now. Rather nice bready pale malts. Soft yeast expression understated. Mellow oxidation.
