We’ve teamed up with the creative brewing powerhouse that is Northern Monk to make this full-flavoured spruce pale ale. Using spruce tips in beer has a long history dating back to the Vikings with recipes surviving from the 17th century and records of Captain Cook enjoying a jug or two on his voyages. The spruce tips were picked while young and fresh from Holkham Estate in North Norfolk, where much of Adnams barley is grown. Colin from Northern Monk and the Adnams brewing team have combined ctirus-led hops to accompany the lemon and gentle pine notes from the spruce.
It’s a sprucy banger of a beer!

Draft. A golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of pine needles, malt, spices, and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt spruce/pine, caramel, hops, and spices, leading to a bitter finish.
