Bottle at home. Pours orange/yellow thin white head. Aroma is citrus, pine, passion fruit. Fine soft carbonation, smooth and silky mouthfeel. Taste is pink grapefruit, guava, melon, mango, some bread dough in background. Incredibly balanced, subtly sweet with a hint of bitterness to finish. Going in a NEIPA direction. Very impressive stuff, from the masters - just too little of it. Will never happen, but Kernel need to do 440ml cans.
Draught @ Mig & Ølsnedkeren. Pours hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma of light malt, fruity hops, peach, melon, grapefruit. Flavor is light bitter, malt, fruity hops, peachy, citrus, grapefruit. Medium body, average carbonation, light bitter finish. 070220
Draught. Amazingly juicy citrus fruit throughout. Amazingly clean taste, superb balance, hoppy to the core yet without a trace of hop burn. Shows that a simple beer can be mindblowing. Could drink this everyday.
Bottle from Utobeer. Nice floral aroma, citrus, pine needles, grassy hop, pleasant, though seemed a little lighter than some of the other Kernel IPAs.
Bottle from Naiv. Golden color, white head. Bitter taste with citrus, floral hops, pine, resin, a bit of mango and grass. Bitter finish with citrus, floral hops, pine, mango, resin and a bit of caramel. Excellent IPA.
Keg at We Brought Beer, Balham. Hazy golden. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, peal and biscuity malt. Good fruity, citrus flavours with quite a lot of malty undertone to balance.
Keg at The Hop Inn, Newcastle-Under-Lyme. 6.9% ABV. A slightly hazy golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma of grapefruit, orange, a little passionfruit, slight pale malts and some floral hops. Taste of grapefruit, orange, some lemon, a little passionfruit, slight pale malts and some floral hops. Medium bodied and moderate carbonation. A lingering, dryish, citrus and floral hop bitterness in the finish. A few years ago this would be brilliant but it lacks something now. Lingering, dry hoppiness but want that extra something.
The bottle exploded unprompted just sitting on the floor, not a good look. The aroma was very nice in the kitchen afterwards, but the beer was a bit hard to drink.
Bottle, exploded bottle as a matter of fact. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is very nice citra, green hops, beautiful. Taste is mild grains, superb citra. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Very nice, but why does it have to explode on shelf?
Clear light golden ale with a slim head, nice hoppy aroma and a clean malty taste & mild bitter finish. Nice mouthful. The Kernel delivers.
Hazy yellow colour, medium sized dense white head; aroma of tropical fruits (like maracuja and maybe pineapple), lemony, piney and grape notes, as well as some biscuits; bittersweet taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; great IPA
Keg at Brew Club, Hackney. Soft pillowy citrus aroma. Hazy gold. Creamy white head. Juicy citrus sourness. Mesium bodied. Soft. Average carbonation. Long dry finish. Lovely stuff. A winner.

Rami Rami is drinking an India Pale Ale Citra by The Kernel Brewery at Drugie Dno - Multitap Bar
7%, w sumie to takie sympatyczne, smaczne ale stanowczo nie soczkowate, ma goryczke, acz jest slodkie, troszke jak juicy delight, cytrusowe
O kurwa co tu się podziało. Jakieś takie zatęchłe, trawiaste, ziemiste, piwniczne. Cytrynowe.
Keg, Salt Horse. Slightly hazy lemon gold. Lacy head. Slightly dank aroma, but lots of citrus too. Clean crisp dry hop forward bitter taste, seriously drinkable. Nice.
Bottle. Pale gold good head. Oily fruity citrus pine aroma. Malty grains, maracuja, grapes, berries. Quite fruity and great but I prefer more bitterness.
Hazy- yellow- thick golden coloured beer. American hops do this. It contained Citra, Centennial & Mosaic hops . Tasted very nice. Nicely balanced as blend as blend. Very drinkable as result.
Tap at harp. Ours hazy yellow lots of head and lacing. Notes are juicy citrus, grapefruit, orange five alive. Taste is medium light bitter light sweet. Medium/full body lively carbonation.
Mętny, kolor soku cytrynowego. Pite w Czeskiej Baszcie i może to siła sugestii, ale tu nawet najlepsze ipy smakują jak czeski pils. Moze miałem zly dzień, ale zabrakło mi goryczki. Piłem lepsze Kernele
TEBF 2018. Kolor przypomina sok z grapefruitów, jest bardzo mętny. Piana biała, niska topnieje w średnim tempie tworząc grubszą obrączkę.
W aromacie jest mocno owocowe, dużo grapefruita i zestu, chyba z delikatnym zakażeniem.
Smak: tutaj jest zdecydowanie lepiej, nie ma śladu po zakażeniu, może to mój błąd. Dalej jest już tak jak w aromacie, intensywnie owocowo.
Nasycenie wysokie, pełnia średnia.
F: big, white, average retention.
C: yellowish, hazy.
A: tangerine, orange, bit grapefruits, mango, bit pine, pineapple, bit caramel.
T: light malty backbone, fresh tangerine, orange, mango, bit floral, bit pine resin and grapefruits, very easy drinkable for such ABV, medium body and carbonation, great stuff anyway, fully enjoyed, 7,3% version, bottled 26/03/18, BB: 26/07/18, 33cl bottle from Tilquin English Beer Festival 2018.
Sampled @ Tilquin English Beer Festival 2018. A hazy yellow beer with a small white head. Aroma of fresh mild fruity yellow fruits, yeast pineapple. Taste of intense hoppy yellow fruits, yeast, pale malt, pineapple, long bitter finish.
On tap at Craft Beer Co, Covent Garden. Aroma is citrus fruit, and is somehow less good than I'd expect. Taste makes up for it though; phenomenal. Amazingly balanced, massively fruity. Fantastic.
Pomelo, lima, piel de limón, pino, eucipto y mentol. Muy jugosa con un amargor final refrescante y largo.
Pours yellow with a small head, aroma of fruits, peach, apricot, flavor is bitter with peach, lemon, lemon grass, medium bodied
Cloudy brass colour. Large head. Tropical aroma. Taste is plenty of fresh tropical fruit. Tasty.
