Our Botanical Blonde is an effervescent expression of the ingredients found in the Gin basket for the Vikre Distillery Spruce Tip Gin. The complex array of spice and herb present themselves in the nose of the ale and appear again at the end of the pallate. Juniper, Coriander, Spruce Tips, Cardamom, Rosemary, Lemon Peel, Lavender, Bitter Orange Peel, Cinnamon, Sage, Anise Seed are all present and balance against the malt sweetness of our Paddle Break Blonde with an effervescent carbonation to carry the aromatics forth.

Brewed to be smooth, chocolatey, semi-roasted ale that bridges the islands of porter and stout. And if you aren’t a fan of bridges, there’s always the canoe. This Black Ale drinks like a porter but is opaque like a stout. Brewed with a generous amount of oats to round out the flavor.
