Bruce Blend

I was all ready to slam this because a traditional, nay, endangered old world style like Vienna should not mix with New World hops, never mind a hop blend.
Sure, Bruce has understated players like Fuggles-descended Southern Cross and Hallertau-esque Pacifica but it’s also got bangers like Nelson Sauvin and the lime bomb that is Moteuka.
So it’s a surprise that all this rich malty breadiness comes through. The hops, when they show, are specks of brightness - seasoning more than base flavour.
A well-judged experiment + a good food beer.

Pairs well with Christmas turkey.
