This Gruit Ale pours murky copper with low carbonation and head. A gentle nose of sweet malts, honey and flowers is evident and it’s different than your typical brew. The deeper I get into the beer, the more I detect a little funk. Which is awesome. A unique flavor profile is also clear, this gently rolls across the palate is ended by a sour pull at the cheeks.
This beer was created with Margaret Atwood based on her novels, the MaddAddam trilogy (Which I’ve started…) with proceeds going to save the birds of Point Pelee, through The Pelee Island Bird Observatory. If you’ve never visited the area, you should. Everyone in the area is a birder (seeing this species of humans is worth the drive) and the scenery is gorgeous. Because of the unique geography of the point pushing deep out into Lake Erie and the island as a rest area/take-off point, bird and butterflies are funneled into the area as they migrate across the big body of water. Perhaps fill your cooler with this beer if you’re camping in the area?
Anyways, save birds drink beer.
