Spiced ale

A bottle of 13th Century Grut Bier. The name, gruit, comes from the old-fashioned herb mixture used for bittering and flavoring beer, in use before the introduction of hops.

Spiced ale refers to traditional ales flavored with non-traditional spices and herbs. Spiced ales are sometimes brewed as a seasonal beer, such as during the time of Christmas or other holidays.^[1]^[2]
