Garage Beer Co / Hudson Valley Clay Life

This Strong Bitter presents a refined profile where five specialty malts weave a tapestry of caramelized nuts, toasted biscuit, and deep raisin. Brewed in collaboration with Hudson Valley, it balances traditional English soul with a modern richness. The aroma delivers layers of orange marmalade and soft vanilla esters, hinting at the complexity of the guest yeast. A firm bitterness cuts through the malt-forward body, providing a classic, structured finish. Despite its beefed-up texture, the beer maintains excellent drinkability, making it a quintessentially autumnal ale that transitions from sweet stone fruit and toffee to a lingering, earthy hop presence.
