It took me a little while to track some down but I'm very glad I did.
Kernel's Amarillo IPA is a breathtakingly good ale.
My little 330 ml bottle gave me whisky laced sticky toffee pudding, crunchy black pepper and a knife sharp citrus tang followed by hops that punch you hard in the face and leave an amazing and long lingering finish on your palate.
No wonder people are talking about this brewery.
More here.
A brilliant beer and a dream come true for an Amarillo hop junky like me!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll get around to it but be sure to try these:
The Kernel Imperial Brown Stout London 1856
The Kernel Export Stout London 1890
The Kernel Imperial Märzen
The Kernel Suke Quto Coffee India Pale Ale
What am I talking about....try them all!! :)
I was there on Saturday as you know, not sure if you read my blog post yet but had a cracking time: http://wp.me/p1mN8x-rf
ReplyDeleteThey had the Imperial Brown Stout on draft, one of my all time favourites so I was over the moon to drink it fresh a the brewery.
Not tried the Amarillo yet but think I do have one somewhere, if not I'll get one..soon
All great beers
Hullo.
ReplyDeleteI have a bottle of their Stout and one of there Centennial IPA's for this weekend - at 10% each, that should make my eyes cross :)
