The Kernel Brewery Strata Pale Ale 5.3% / 50cl

Kernel's Pale Ale is brewed to be dry, clean, and light-bodied – the perfect base for showcasing the distinct character of the hops they use. Each batch follows the same simple foundation, but the hop varieties change depending on what’s fresh, available, and in season.

This approach allows each brew to highlight the individual aroma and flavour qualities of hops from around the world, with the beer acting as a frame rather than the picture itself.

Strata, the star here, comes across as bright, juicy and a bit wild in the best way. Think ripe passion fruit, sweet‑tart strawberry and a squeeze of pink grapefruit, all wrapped in a fresh, breezy herbal lift. It’s got that big, expressive fruitiness that jumps out of the glass without feeling heavy or technical — just vivid, lively flavour.
