Jul 21, 2008 Amber pour with minimal head, unremarkable. Berry aroma hits first, with pine coming forward upon sitting, quite nice! Sweet, piney and minimal carbonation. This beer is beyond a novelty and compares with oher historical brews.

Jul 13, 2008 Strong aroma, spruce and pine could be mistaken for olives. The smell does not give away the taste though, you would think it was much lighter based on the smell. It has a deep reddish color, again surprising if you thought you were getting a crisp, piney ale. The flavor is an explosion of rich, velvety taste, heavy on the malt but nicely balanced in the finish with the spruce/pine, which tastes much better than you might imagine spruce/pine does. Not much of a head, but the palate is really nice, heavier than expected, but very smooth. This might be my favorite from the sampler pack I got (with Elderberry Black Ale, Heathers Fraoch Ale, and the Gooseberry and Wheat Ale)!

Jul 12, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a crystal clear reddish brown. Small whitish head. Nose of bread, maple, alcohol and citrus hops. This is a badass tasting beer. Alcohol well hidden, totally unique maple pine flavor. Low bitterness. Awesome malt backbone, perfect carbonation. This is very very underated.

Jul 5, 2008 The name does not lie. This beer tastes like pine trees, which I really happen to like the smell of, and also happen to like the taste of in a beer. This beer is sort of festive, something to have around the holidays. It smells of pine, and citrusy hops, The flavor is similar, pine resins and floral/citrus hops. Very interesting.

Jun 30, 2008 This beer very much resembles a pine syrup. It pours to a very clear amber color. Almost no head what so ever. It is very full bodied and very sweet. I can appreciate it’s historical heritage, but this will remain a novelty for me.
