Here's some notes from Evin about the beer:
This next iteration of our Double India Pale Ale feels like where one would think it should be. It is very much as its predecessor was in terms of hop profile, balance, texture, alcohol and bitterness.

The exact hops used have however evolved, along the path that we are constantly moving back and forth across.

Moving in to take the place of the Simcoe, Columbus Amarillo and Nelson Sauvin of the last Double IPA we brewed, we introduce Mosaic and Galaxy to pair with the Citra that remains constant between the two.

This brings a more modern inflection to the beer, the hops trend fruitier (tropical fruits), rounder, juicier (and slightly less citrus, less pine). Very familiar indications of a modern British Double IPA. But this beer still holds to a strong and firm bitterness, and a relative dryness and drinkability throughout. Holding things back from moving into sweetness, keeping the body light.

In 2007, Evin O'Riordain was sent to New York on business and what he tasted in the bars and pubs was, not only to change his life forever, but to prove a pivotal point in the UK beer scene's revival. He spent the next 2 years homebrewing and honing his skills, making big flavoured and challenging beers. In 2009, The Kernel Brewery was born and word slowly spread about this man making fantastic beers under a railway arch in South East London. A move to bigger premises saw them finally be able to meet demand and they are now named in the top 50 Breweries in the world by Rate Beer.
