2007 version. In the bottle from Seattle Bottleworks. Pours copper with a large off white head. Caramel toffee and butterscotch aroma. Very smooth and very sweet. Has a big strawberry flavor. Medium body, not so thick to the mouth for such a big malt sweetness. Great beer!

does not count  May 27, 2008 Initial flavour of sweet blueberries without a tart aftertaste. A bit of spruce evens out the flavour. The finish is hoppy in an inoffensive manner--good for those who like flavourful beer without a heavy hops taste.

May 15, 2008 Sample in the Alaskan tap room. This brew pours a hazy, ruddy amber color with a medium thin light beige head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing. Aroma of pine, hops and fruit. Medium-bodied with a piney/spruce (prevents scurvy!) character, along with fresh fruit, hops and malt flavors. Touches of spice are present too. The finish is hoppy and malty with a fruit and spice aftertaste. Decent overall.

May 6, 2008 Pours reddish amber with a cream colored head. Plenty of lacing.
Big bitter flavor with very sweet malts. Spruce tips add and interesting flavor.
Pretty well balanced for the type. Abv of 6.4% is well hidden.
