3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
bottle from cotteridge wines. pours a nice golden colour with a minimal white head. the aroma, as with most Kernal beers, is pungent!! lovely tropical fruits, apricots coming right at cha’. Taste is much of the same with the added freshness of the hops problem was it was it was let down by avarage carb, a rather flat mouthfeel with an almost watery finish. a real shame as the inital impressions were so good just let down towards the end.

A more than decent APA - as one comes to expect from the Kernel!
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
50cl bottle (5.7% ABV). Pours hazy orange with small white head that lasts pretty well. Aroma is lovely: plenty of sweet orange, floral notes, citrus fruit and that slightly odd dankness that Amarillo gives off. Taste gives a nice hit of juicy orange, some light pine, dank sweet herbs, citrus, and a touch of light caramel. Mouthfeel a bit thin - much flatter than other Kernels I've had recently, could do with a bit more carb to lift it. Aftertaste is brief but nicely tropical. Very tasty.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
33cl bottle from the Brewery. It pours a clear golden orange colour with a medium soapy white head. Aroma is grassy, flowery and resiny. Taste is moderately bitter with grass, violets and pine needles. Mouthfeel is medium with good carbonation. Overall, a very nice and hoppy pale ale.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This one has a light, citrusy aroma and taste. There’s a light sweetness and low to medium bitterness. Very refreshing.
