Craft TCR bottleshare. Thanks to Wingman. Hazy amber brown beer, big pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Fluffy dark malts, little creamy sweetness. Tangy dark fruits. Thin tangy finish. Okay.

Bottle shared in London - cheers to Dave. Pours murky brown with a creamy tan head. Not the best, somewhat chalky, notes of toasted pine and flowers, lemon peels. Light bodied with lively, massaging carbonation. Floral hops in the finish, more toast. So so.
