Kernel Ordinary Bitter
A bright, pintable bitter with flaked barley for a soft body and caramalt for a touch of honey character without the sweetness. Dark crystal and a little black malt turn the colour a chocolatey brown. The hop changes between brews; the current one uses Challenger from Kent and smells of toffee, toast and dates. Fermented with an English ale yeast, it finishes dry and bitter.
