Common descriptors are
Russian Doll is our latest fantastic voyage into the essence of beer. This time we’ve used the same malts, hops, and yeast - the differences are down to the ABV. There’s a great complexity when trying the beers side by side - the aromas & flavours from extra pale, cara and dark crystal malts vary from biscuity through caramel, toffee and treacle as you might expect, but the hops (simcoe, citra, cascade and centennial) present differently from style to style - from zesty to tropical through stone fruit to jammy.
