Swingletree
Spicy and fruity notes combine over a crisp, dry close, and that is where the beer does its work: at seven per cent the dryness keeps it from feeling heavy. The yeast supplies most of the character, with pepper and stone fruit coming through before the finish cuts them off. Swingletree takes its name from a piece of harness used on a plough.
