Jun 21, 2008 Bottle from Wine & Beer Westpark. Dark & cloudy red pour w/ minimal head that quickly disappears. Sweet banana, caramel aroma. Malty taste to the extreme with a gummy bear sweetness. A light hint of fuzzy bitterness. Almost no noticeable pine or spruce and a thoroughly sucktastic beer otherwise. What’s the point?

Jun 10, 2008 Bottle, sampled near room temperature from a tulip glass. Superclear, coppery henna hue with a tonsured fringe of ivory foam. The rich aroma weaves an exotic menagerie… cherry licorice, toffee, marshmallow, grape, wax, eualyptus, and acentone. Then, the dreamily rhapsodic sensations end with the abruptness of a five-car pileup… an extremely “pink” cotton candy, strawberry and dainty peach flavor, barely boosted by background toasty malts, results in a dimensionless, ambiguous ale. Is there a suggestion of baking spice in the finish? A thin, wimpy body is as lifeless as warm spit. A shy aftertaste is the ditzy identical twin to the flavor, vacant of any pine or spruce influence. Despite the attractive abv, this beer is very understated and girly; I was expecting at least a modicum of personality… but here is a mere label-only novelty that I would not recommend to anyone.

May 28, 2008 Pours a dark copper colour with a full head. Aroma is piney, citrusy with hints of pepper. Taste is very unique, pine again, almost tart but pleasent fruit flavors. hint of smoke as well.

May 27, 2008 33 ml bottle...pours an amber color with a tiny white head that provided no lacing. The aroma was ripe berries, and fruit juice. The flavor was piney, with a hint of apples, somewhat "woody", and maybe a little smokey. . The palate was slick, and had very little carbonation. The brew also had a lasting bitter/sweet finish. I though this was a solid ale!

May 27, 2008 Sampler set of four shared with the Knights.
Poured a copper orange and small white head. I’m hung up on the pine aroma which carries into and kind of dominates the pallet. Simple and spruce pine sweet, another good session but not a fan.
