42nd floor beer share. Thanks to Wingman. Hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and fairly dry, modest fine carbonation. Thin malts, thin malt cream. Ginger cake and cinnamon, also thin and not sweet. Dry finish. Too thin and dry but it’s not terrible.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Dave. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. Festive spicing in the snout, some toasted crackers, ginger, faint cinnamon. Light sweet flavour with nips of orange peel, dry cinnamon, light toasted pale malts, grains. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Drying finish, with more toasted grains, vague ginger and cinnamon. Pure novelty but drinkable enough.
