Floor 42, share a bottle or two! Thanks to Mr Tips. Light haze on this amber beer, good pale tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Smooth and mellow dark malts, a little dark chocolate. Roasty bitterness. Tangy fruits underneath. Mild piney hop reminds that is a CDA. Light smooth finish.

Can from the brewer's own stall at the Thame Food Festival. Dark brown in hue, thin of body and a little fizzy. Tastes of burnt malt, earth, and a little pine. Not much hop here, more like a weak stout than a BIPA. Disappointing, especially coming from a brewery that I'm normally quite fond of.
