The Kernel Brewery Destination IPA

American IPA 6.8 º
This American IPA is a masterclass in Pacific Northwest hop intensity, driven by a powerhouse blend of Simcoe, Columbus, Chinook, Cascade, Citra, and Centennial. The sensory experience is led by pungent resinous pine and assertive grapefruit zest, underpinned by the dank, earthy depths of Columbus. A structural base of Low Colour Maris Otter provides a clean, biscuity, and lean malt foundation that allows the hops to remain the focal point. Fermented with House Cal Ale Yeast for a crisp, neutral profile, it concludes with a lingering, clean bitterness and a dry, refreshing finish that perfectly balances classic resin with modern citrus brightness.
Appearance. Deep gold to pale amber (7-9 SRM). Brilliantly clear with a thick, long-lasting white head and excellent lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of resinous pine, grapefruit, and floral citrus. Underlying hints of tropical fruit and damp earth are supported by a low, grainy, and slightly toasted malt character. Clean fermentation profile with no significant esters.
Taste. Strong hop-forward flavor with an initial punch of citrus rind and pine resin. High bitterness that is firm but not harsh. The malt flavor is low to medium-low, presenting as toasted crackers or pale biscuits. Finish is dry to medium-dry, leaving a lingering hoppy aftertaste of grapefruit pith and resin.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture. Moderate to medium-high carbonation. A very light, clean alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.

Malt: Low Colour Maris Otter, Carapils

Yeast: House Cal Ale Yeast

We brewed this first of all at Elusive, to celebrate Andy’s 50th birthday in the summer of 2023. Batch #2 was produced at Burning Sky in 2024. This year we’ve been excited to brew V3 here at our brewery, and see how it follows or diverges from its predecessors.

The beer is pale gold. Aroma is heady, sweet and fruit cocktail. It starts with more of a honeyed sweetness than the usual malt character than we get in our house IPAs, but then has also a drier finish. It has direction. The sweetness of the body pushes the hops through as pineapple, all tropical and luscious. The beer feels a touch less of the west coast than the Elusive and Burning Sky versions, a little more transatlantic in its manifestation. Less lean and elegant, a bit bigger and brasher. But a firm bitterness to end returns it towards the west coast wheelhouse, pithy grapefruit lifts it to a familiar finish
