Bottle from the Kernel Brewery. It pours cloudy orange, with a foamy white head. The nose is tangy orange, peach, marmalade and sherbet. The taste is soft citrus: orange, tangerine, grapefruit, as well as pine, soap, light resin and brown bread, with a dry-citric finish. Medium body, fine carbonation and soft mouth-feel. A solid APA.

Bottled at the brewpub. Cloudy golden/amber, small head. Minty pear aroma. Mid sweet with rounded mouthfeel. Pears and slight caramel, medium body. Long, growing bitterness.

Bottle at the Kernel Brewery, Bermondsey, London, 03.12.11 Pours orange/old with some haze and a white rim of bubbles. Soft carbonation in mouth, quite a subtle beer with the hops ever present but not pushy. Some sweet citrus flavours flood through, its tasty stuff. My computer just suggested a spell check for Bermondsey, quite amusingly and bizarrely it offered me ’SpiderMonkey’. Good beer. A6 A4 T8 P4 Ov14 3.6

Very hazy - almost cloudy - orange amber beer. Good white head. Light palate, fairly dry and just a little crisp. Start with a Starfruit - grassy flavour. Followed by mild tangerine and a tiny pinch of pepper. Trace of peach. Mildly bitter and dry finish. Nice beer but quite dry - my other bottle I will let clear a bit more.
