Well it’s
Friday, so it must be Kernel day. A very promising mix of Simcoe, Citra,
Columbus, Apollo, and Nelson Sauvin hops go into this, so what can go wrong?
It’s the
usual bottle-conditioned 330ml package but interestingly, at 6%, is a
reduced-strength version of its previous incarnation. It poured very murky
amber with a massive off-white head. The aroma was mostly tropical-pineapple
and grapefruit-with a little pine there as well.
The taste
was more of the same tropical fruit with some marmalade and mango thrown in.
Maybe a bit of yeast as well, but the overall impression is of a very fruity,
rather than bitter, IPA. Reducing the strength has done little to dampen the flavour. Not clean (topical insert) but very tasty,
nonetheless.
