Drank it in Carmel, CA. Pours golden with little head and carbonation. Faint pine aroma. Watery in your mouth, some hops at the end, but very weak.

Grainy, grassy nose with mild diacetyl. Soapy and astringent palate with mild hopping. Crappy astringent finish.

I’m on vacation in Carmel and went to two different liquor stores, terrible beer selection. Bottle. Lightish gold color, lots of carbonation, non-lacing white head. Spruce hop smell, bland but refreshing on the palate and a little bitterness at the end. Pretty nice for a day on the patio.

Draught. Clear golden color with white head that left very little lace. Smells of husky grain and light sprucy hops. Flavor is similar with a slightly bitter finish. Eh.
