Bottle sample at a tasting at DSG’s place. Thanks Tomer. Pours like fruit shake with a nice head, aroma of hops, mango and marmalade, flavor of malt, cascade, medium bodied

Bottle sample at a tasting at DSG’s place. Thanks tomer. Cloudy amber with a creamy-coloured white head. Greenish aroma - pine and hempseed oil, something between mild and hardcore bitter green taste, medium-to-full body, smooth texture and bitter finish.

At a tasting, thanks Leighton, small stable head, hazy orange colour, aroma is a melange of herbs,with light pine notes, citrus and orange blossom, flavour of lemon, pomello, herbs and tobacco, wIth just a touch of bread in the back, strong but extremely mellow bitterness. Very very good IPA.

Bottle sample at a tasting at my place. Thanks Ido. Hazy golden. Lovely hoppy aroma of citrus and tropical fruits. Dry-ish flavor with light sweetness and pleasant fruity hops with nice bitterness. Medium-bodied.

Bottle shared at CPK London - many thanks to Paul. Big citrus nose, some pectin sugars. Medium sweet flavor with grapefruit, melon, pine needles. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Faintly warming finish with some resinous pine, sweet citrus, orange rind. Very good stuff on the whole.

So like the kernel but not as good and the same price ? I’m all for loads of craft breweries but if they’re all gonna brew the same stuff then what’s the point. A friend was raving about this brewery last week had 2 swigs of this and got back to my rochefort 10 we’ve enough ipa USA wannabe brewers go away and brew something we don’t currently have in uk like abbey and Trappist quad style.

Bottle 330ml.

Light unclear medium orange colour with a small to average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, moderate to heavy hoppy, orange - citrus, sweet hops, mammalade - mango, hop oil, resin notes. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration, mango, sweet hoppy, mandarin - mamalade, initial very sweet and bitter, middle flavor then is very dry, finish then get very sweet and butter again. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. IMO. a bit messy and maybe a litte home brew alike ! [20130118]

Columbus, Cascade, Bravo version. Hazy amber beer, good pale cream coloured head. Palate is light and airy, slightly soft. Creamy malt, llght. Lovely fresh hops - flavoursome but not too bitter. A little fresh orange. Mild floral notes and tropical fruits with mango most noticeable. Mellow hop skunk. Subtle lemon tang underneath. Very Kernel like and that is high praise!

Bottled 15.12.12 BBE 15.4.13 - Pours dark orange with a medium foamy and bubbly head. Aroma of fresh exotic fruits, hints of berries, caramel, toffee and grassy hops. Taste is sweetish, malty and slightly fruity with hints of exotic fruits, caramel and grass. Finish is hoppy, grassy and malty with some caramely sweetness and fruitness. Okay, quite malty IPA, not quite as fruity as you would expect from the sweet aroma.
