Saturday
evening’s drinking was rounded off with an IPA from the Kernel brewed with Motueka,
Centennial and Stella hops off the keg at Stormbird in Camberwell. I find it
pretty cool to be able to drink so many fresh and local beers at the moment;
for example this beer was brewed within about 2 miles of the pub. I also enjoy
that The Kernel often labels their beers with the type of hops used. When I
first started writing this blog it was these labels that lead me into first
investigating the world of hops and the myriad different varieties. It also
helps with tasting and makes it far easier to work out what you like, and what
you don’t. The beer pours a hazy gold and looks like it could be heavy going!
The taste is earthy, musty hops, it’s nice and crisp with a strong bitter
element as you’d expect. There’s also some bitter orange in here and a tiny
hint of sweetness too that makes it a very drinkable beer indeed, for me.
