Beer Profile

cruel

Cruel is a malt liquor crafted in collaboration with Pen Druid to celebrate their 10th anniversary. Featuring Virginia ‘Bloody Butcher’ corn, this brew offers a distinctive grain character with subtle sweetness and a smooth, full-bodied mouthfeel. Tettnang hops provide gentle herbal and floral notes, balancing the malt-forward profile. At 7.5% ABV, it presents a clean finish with moderate bitterness, highlighting a nuanced interplay between corn-derived sweetness and hop bitterness. The beer pours a clear amber color with a light, creamy head, making for a unique take on the malt liquor style.
