30/1304) Home: St. Luke's Verse Lavender Gruit by Beau's All Natural Brewing of Ontario: *1/2; 5.7%; wild Oats Series No. 33; pours hazy; brewed with lavender, rosemary and thyme and all three feature strongly in the nose; there is a surprising sweetness to this beer; rosemary and thyme are more present until the finish when the lavender peaks; a most unusual beer - my wife liked it more than I did; I suspect it would be great for cooking;
31/1305) Home: Arctic Circle Ale by Malmgard Brewery of Finland: **; 7.3%; pours a deep, dark brown; brewed with juniper twigs, dark rye, British hops and "Finnish attitude"; the nose is herbal, almost medicinal, with spruce-like scents; dried sweet fruit and herbal notes; certainly not the worst call of the day;
To some today is Super Bowl Sunday to other it is International Gruit Day.
