Beer #196 - The Kernel Oak Aged Saison

Beer six  of 11 from my visit to the Bermondsey Beer Mile. The final beer I tried at the Kernel was the oak aged saison. This saison is blended with a sour beer that results in a curiously sharp yet ultimately very refreshing beer. It pours a slightly hazy pale gold, the first sip is sour, not sour compared to the London sour, but definitely sour! It’s quite dry and tart and there is a definite, but not prominent, smoky oak hint to the beer. I naturally wanted to compare this to the London Sour and found this much closer to my cup of tea. It’s not overly sour and is very well-balanced making it rather drinkable.
