Our friends at Beer52 in the UK asked us to try our hand at reviving a historical beer style. So, we did just that, drawing inspiration from Gruit and Kuit beers that were popular in Holland in the late-Middle Ages. In classic Two Chefs style, we went for a complete modern-day IPA makeover using a contemporary yeast strain and potent new world hops in addition to a malt bill consisting of 6 different types of grain! Wheat, oats, and spelt make for a rounded and smooth body, while maize and rye add a spicy, dry, and crisp touch. Two types of hops infuse the beer with vivid flavors and intense aromas of citrus, grapefruit, and orange, leading to a balanced and clean bitter finish.

Can from Beer52. Misty gold with small white top. Grains, wood, salted crisps, citrus aroma. Taste has a tangy citric quality with grains and herbs. Near mid-bodied, well carbonated, a little sticky in the finish. Nice bitterness but overall I'm not convinced.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A hazy straw coloured pour with a fast fading white head; grainy aroma; smooth in the mouth with a rye like body; then a sharp citrus and grainy bitterness; then a fresh finish with some chewy malts. Very tasty, and a little different.

330ml can via Beer52: BB 12th April 2024, drank at home during a mini-tasting with myself on 1st June 2023. Slight misty pour, light golden with a wispy white head. Grainy nose and taste, semi-sweet taste, interesting mix of ingredients; mild citrus flavours just about come through the grainy base.
