Lamb’s Wool

Apple & Spice Gruit • 6.5% • Gruit

Lamb’s wool is a spiced gruit ale, made with barley malts and blended before fermentation with organic apple juice. Real cinnamon and whole cloves add a warming spice character to this traditional winter wassail.

History & Style

A ‘Lamb’s Wool’ gruit is made with spices, ale and apples, and has a long history with Celtic pagan roots. It is a traditional drink to be paired with singing, visiting friends, and mid-winter celebrations meant to bring good fortune to homes and harvests in the year to come. Beau’s Gruit Series takes inspiration from centuries-old brewing tradition. Herbs, spices and other botanicals replace a dominant hop character, throwing open the door to experimentation.

Tasting Notes

Lamb’s Wool pours copper with white foam. The aroma introduces a classic combo of apples and spice. The flavour is pleasantly tart and slightly warming, with fruit and pepper notes. The finish is clean and tangy.

Food Pairings

Pan-seared scallops, organic pork chops, applewood smoked cheddar, baked apple crisp.
