Botanic Rituals is a study in the contribution of gin barrel character & unique combinations of herbs in mixed-culture beer. Each batch will be highly individual and never exactly repeated.

Tasting notes: Dry, funky, & acidic. Notes of juniper, lemon and citrus, warming alcohols, and and oak barrel.
