The Spice of Life

This 6.7% ABV Holiday Spiced Gruit offers a unique, hop-free profile, relying on traditional bittering herbs. Yarrow and ginger provide a subtle foundation, allowing the seasonal spices to shine. Aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove mingle with bright notes of orange peel. The flavor profile is warming and complex, balancing the earthy herbal bitterness with the familiar, comforting taste of autumnal spices. This brew presents a medium body, making it a flavorful and distinct seasonal offering.
