Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from Offie and Toffee a while back, I think. Vintage 2015? Pours clear, deep gold with a modest, foamy off-white head. Definitely has some spicy notes to it, flowers, yeast, white pepper, wheat bread, orange peel. Light bodied with lively, massaging carbonation. Finishes with more lightly zesty citrus peel, lime, wheat flakes, low bitterness, a little bread, touches of spicy ginger. Interesting as a novelty.

Bottle. Amber with white head. Aroma of ginger, lime, cinnamon. Maybe some dough. More dough and toasty malt in the taste. A bit dull under ginger and cinnamon which are both a bit prominent and not terribly vibrant. Citrus gets a little lost. Dryish with low bitterness at the end. First real miss from Tuatara for me.
