Murky amber colour, with small head which disappated quite quickly. Lovely citrussy-hoppy aroma. Nice bitter finish. Very drinkable.

Citra and Tomahawk; tawny, murky, large rapidly diminishing white head; lovely fresh peachy aroma; plenty of hops give a peachy taste too, alongside some bitter grapefruit; bitter, slightly salty finish; good low strength Monday night beer; the rating of 3.5 doesn’t really do justice to the quality of the beer for its strength.

Bottled 12.12.12. Really interesting hop profile Apollo, Summit, Topaz, Columbus and Pacific Jade results in a subtle pine / lime profile - nice nose of the same. Another well made beer from The Kernel.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. 3.5% Hops: Simcoe, Citra, Nelson Savin, Apollo. Pours a clear yellow with a lacing white head. Fresh citrusy hop aroma - subtle though. Light body, dry and a little dusty with the usual Kernel tropical melange. Not overly bitter. Extremely sessionable. 220313

Dec 2012 - nothing wrong with this at all. A nice light session beer, 3%. Citrus - orange and grapefruit and a little floral bitterness in the aftertaste. Enjoyable. I like the subtlety. Feb 2013 – new batch, smaller bottle, 3.2% this time. Starts with a bit of rounded bitterness and ends with the same. Again, it’s slightly floral and slightly grapefruity. Nice in its own right, not as good as the original though, so unfortunately the overall rating moves below 4.

330 ml bottle.
Pours a slightly cloudy golden colour with a white head. Aroma of strong fresh exotic fruits and grapefruit. Flavour is very refreshing with fresh and strong floral hops, exotic fruits, tangy grapefruit, hay and some mild mellow sweetness. Light bodied, high carbonation and a refreshing fruity bitter finish. Excellent stuff. More please!

Bottled 03/03/13 (The Kernel Table Beer Citra Amarillo Columbus). A headless light and slightly hazy golden coloured beer. A good hoppy nose with sharp citrus notes. Bitter oranges in the mouth. Sharp and bitter flavours. A little papery like low ABV highly hopped beers can be but it’s decent enough.

Bottle. Pale clear golden beer with a small offwhite head. Tropical fruits and hoppy aroma. Hoppy with a nice bitterness and fruity falvour.

500ml bottle 3.2%abv. ar: spruce and citrus hop. ap: hazy orange after cycle ride. Long lasting dense head. ta: light sweetness, medium to heavy bitterness.pa: light body, texture thin to oily, carbonation lively. Finish dry, lingering american hop. Overall: top-class low gravity APA with as much flavour as stronger Kernel APA’s.

Bottled (3.2%, Citra and Tomahawk), thanks Boudicca! Hazy golden, mid sized head. Rihc tropical fruit aroma. Dryish with soft mouthfeel and light body. Lots of tropical fruits. Mid bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.
