Blackout Brewing

Kernel Panic is an evocative Hazy IPA that showcases a sophisticated hop blend of Sabro, Peacharine, and Nelson PM22. This straw-colored pour delivers an immediate sensory punch of ripe nectarine and fuzz-on-peach notes driven by the Peacharine, seamlessly melding into the tropical coconut and creaminess characteristic of Sabro. The Nelson PM22 provides a refined top note of white wine grape and crushed gooseberry. Its opaque appearance and soft, pillowy texture highlight a restrained bitterness, allowing the juicy stone fruit and tropical thiols to dominate the palate. The 6% ABV ensures a drinkable balance against the lush, fruit-forward profile.

Appearance. 3–5 SRM (straw to deep gold). Opaque with a consistent haze and a luminous shine. Persistent, rocky white head with excellent retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring prominent peach, nectarine, and tropical coconut. Nuances of white wine grape, gooseberry, and passionfruit. Background malt is clean, grainy, and lightly bready.

Taste. High fruity hop flavor follows the aroma with layers of stone fruit and sweet citrus. Soft coconut notes mid-palate leads to a gooseberry-like finish. Low perceived bitterness with an off-dry, juicy aftertaste. Clean fermentation profile with no harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation. Smooth and rounded with very light alcohol warmth and no astringency.
