A spiced sour brewed with cranberries, hibiscus, honey, toasted cinnamon, and cloves.

Taste: Like exploring a market in the dead of winter, your taste buds dart down avenue after avenue - toasted cinnamon alley first, sweet rich cranberry sauce next, all guided by balanced acidity. Floral notes from hibiscus leave a lingering touch before juicy cinnamon and cloves come back again.

Backlog January 2019. Unclear amber body with a big off-white head. Strong spicy aroma with berries, mulled wine and Christmas spices. A really funny beer to taste, this has acidic cherry, mulled wine, gingerbread and Christmas spices all together in a messy mix, still it doesn’t taste silly – it’s definitively a nice beer to drink. Freely after an old Zappa quote: ‘Does humor belong in beer?’ – The answer is YES.
