Variety is the spice of life. Every once-in-a-while, you’ve gotta mix things up. Our catalyst for such an excursion out of the ordinary is, um, actually spice. Spice of Life uses traditional brewing spices in a way few dare to. Forsaking traditional ideas of subtlety and cowardly “Pinch of This, Pinch of That” brewing techniques, we embrace the flavors and launch them into a full frontal assault of delicious bitter orange peel and grains of paradise. Beautifully smooth coriander compliments and orange peel perfectly.

Bottle@Yespr’s - fuzzy golden pour with white head. Aroma and taste is citrus and tropical fruity, some satsuma, lemon, peachy, some grassy and floral action going on, interesting brew, also getting the saison/ Belgian pale vibe here. Nice.
