hopIQ found 10 beers with the same herbal and light character as Mayday Hills Gruit. Mayday Hills Gruit revives a way of brewing that predates hops, using botanicals as the bittering agent instead. The herb bill comes from a local maker of small-batch amari and cocktail bitters, so the bitterness reads as root and wormwood rather than resin, layered with dried orange peel and a warm spice note. At 3.9 per cent the body stays light, barrel time adds a dry oak edge, and the finish is herbal and cleanly bitter. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
