3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice amber color. Sweet malt smell. Taste is malty with a some piney flavor, though not as pronounced as I’d hope. More body than expected with a long finish. Pretty good, would love to try in draft.

12oz bottle pours a clear orange amber with some clumpy, white head. A fair amount of spruce in the nose, some pine but far from hoppy, malt, cracker. Flavor is malty, orange, some spruce, a little dusty, some light spice but nothing definable. Medium bodied, dry finish.

Mouthfeel is medium and syrupy, with pretty good chewy carbonation. Overall this is a great tasting winter ale. Pretty solid all around besides appearance.

Medium amber pour with cream-colored head. Aroma is rather faint - some spruce, caramel and fruit. Taste is quite sweet, lots of fruit and some light spruce. Virtually no bitterness or hop notes in this. I’m not a huge fan of real sweet brews, but this one is quite good.
