Common descriptors are
Lipreader is brewed every year for the winter season. Loads of crystal malt and a bit of Swedish alder-smoked malt make the backbone around which the recipe changes every year. For this year’s edition we left out the roasted malts to make it more like a traditional British winter warmer. Expect toffee malts, a distinct fruitiness, and that woody/smoky note that is the hallmark of this beer.
