The Kernel East India Pale Ale London 1897

Based on a Fuller's recipe from 1897. The colour is burnished gold.  Aroma is an enticing blend of marmalade, toffee, spice and gunpowder/flint.  The flavour starts clean but quickly moves into a marmalade warmth, more of an orange honey character than the way the malt presents in our house IPAs.

This beer then has a dry finish, tea-like, the fruit giving way slowly to something a touch herbal, a touch bitter.  The bottle and keg version give sparkle and lightness, an effervescence that accentuates the refreshing character that these beers needed to provide at their destination.

500ml bottle, 5.8% ABV
