Rooted in user needs, technical experimentation, and intentional design, this beer pairs beautifully with cozy gatherings, Christmas crafts, fresh-cut trees, holiday baking, and placing the star atop the Christmas tree.
Sensory Description: Our Tree Topper Spiced Belgian Blonde Ale blends biscuity flavors with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and orange peel, allowing Douglas fir elements to take center stage.
