Just past BBE: 03/12/25
The Kernel and longterm friends at Stigbergets have collaborated together to brew this thoroughly modern, while keeping true to The Kernel style, hazy New England IPA.
Malt: Low-Colour Golden Promise, Wheat and Oats
Yeast: A version of of Stigbergets house yeast blend, as well as various strains from London and Yorkshire via Vermont.
Hops: Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic, Galaxy.
Low Colour Golden Promise, wheat and oats make up the body of the beer, a substantial portion of both of the latter giving body, heft and haze. Stigbergets house yeast blend then adds a rich stone fruit character that plays beautifully with the hops (Citra, Mosaic, Simoce and Galaxy).
The hops come through quite saturated on the nose, initially quite bright citrus and pineapple, then slowly dispersing into apricot, oranges, jam, guava. The texture is full and round, accentuated by the oats and wheat, sweet with a touch of alcohol, and juice and fruit.
It then steps back a little, dropping in a finish just a touch drier than what has gone before, with a small hit of bitterness that’s barely perceptible but is essential to hold things back from being cloying. Trying to hit that point of being sweet while still refreshing, full without being satiating.
