Notes

A great holiday ale taking on the profile of a raspberry thumbprint (or raspberry linzer) cookie. A sweet and malty slow sipper perfect for the holidays. I gave bottles out to family, friends and coworkers around christmas time, and they made perfect little gifts.

This beer also came in 2nd out of 26 entries under the umbrella category of Spice/Herb/Vegetable Beer at the 2023 War of the Worts competition in Landsdale, PA.
