Crystal Road

NE-style IPA with experimental hop HBC 630 & Idaho 7//The youngest of the three sisters, Nella, was very fortunate - a prince married her in secret. He would come to her on a crystal road to a place hidden from her sisters. Yet they found it and broke the road, so the prince was injured when he was coming to Nella. Prince's father proclaimed that whoever cured him would marry him, or have half the kingdom. Nella decided to do just that. Hiding in a tree, she overheard an ogre Longtusk telling his wife about how only the fat from ogre bodies could cure the prince. Nella presented herself at their door as a beggar. Longtusk, craving her flesh, persuaded his wife to let her stay. When the ogres slept, Nella slayed them and took their fat. She brought it to the king and cured the prince. He told Nella he could not marry her because he was already married. Nella asked who was responsible, and the prince blamed her sisters. Nella then revealed herself as his wife. Her sisters were thrown in an oven and burned.
