Can at home, thanks to James, 28/06/2026.
Chestnut brown topped with a good sized beige cap that dissipates to a swirl.
Nose is dark malts, stewed fruits, biscuit, light varnish.
Taste comprises tangy dark fruits, hint of toffee, brown bread, dusty hops.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
So so affair … a little overly tangy.

Can from the friendly brewer's own stall at Farnham Farmers' Market. Labelled as a California common, and from what the brewer said had definitely been brewed as that style. Clear amber to copper with a middling fizz and a negligible head. Quite nice at first. Fruity up front - orange and ripe apple initially, with toasty bready malt behind. After drinking more it got worse though - wort-y, green apple and a little raw alcohol. Felt a bit homebrew-y. Yeah, it's not great.

Can from the brewer's own stall at Farnham Farmers' Market. Hazy deep gold with a large white head. Nice bright aroma and flavour - pineapple, juicy oranges and over-ripe grapes. The finish isn't quite as good, with some leafy floral notes not quite working with the juice. Nevertheless it's still an enjoyable NEIPA.

Can from the brewer's own stall at Farnham Farmers' Market. Dark brown with a beige head. Sweetish, presumably from the maple syrup although I didn't get the maple flavour itself. Chocolate hints, a light roasty note and then pine in the gently drying finish. The pine doesn't really go with the sweetness, and it's a tad on the thin side. Pretty average overall.
