I’m sorry. A nice hurt? The Widowlickers? Foetus Eaters? Life’s certainty? Dribbling Cabbages?

(Bottle) Hazy amber colour with frothy, off-white head, leaving traces of lacing. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, tropical fruit, passion-fruit, apricots, resin, Seville orange and lots of hops.

330ml bottle. Clouded orange with a fine low head. Overripe melon, red apple, violets and strawberry chews aroma. Floral and discreetly tropical taste with Jelly Tot and fizzy mango/guava notes, some peppery alcohol, a building bitterness softening into husk and faint biscuit. Another Kernel brew humming with the simple pleasures of The Hop.
