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.

May 25, 2008 Amber with a lasting off-white head. Berry and herb aroma. Fruity sweet flavour with a pine note in the finish.

May 22, 2008 330ml bottle. Pours burnt orange, very little white head, some lace. Smells sweet and sugary with a touch of piney-ness. Tastes malty , and then very sweet, pine and other vegetation type sweetness. Tastes good but the sweetness is a little bit much for me. Definitely an apertif. Medium body, good carbonation.

May 20, 2008 Pours a blush gold colour with a frothy beige head that fades to a thin film and leaves no lacing. The nose is ripe with notes of berries, toffee and wood. The flavour is similar but with notes of pine (or spruce, whatever) and corn-syrup sweetness. The finish is sweet and has a metallic quality that is barley noticable. The brewski lacks balance and complexity, but is drinkable and tasty nonetheless. The palate is slick and soft with long finish.

May 20, 2008 Pours a cloudy amber color with a redish tint and an off white head that fades pretty quick. The nose has a nice pine and floral hop aroma with a hint of berry. The initial flavor is nice and sweet with the pine hops and the tart berries and that roasted barley. It has a nice fruity and earbal taste mixed with an increased alcohol content that makes it an enjoyable beer. The finish is not that watery it is full bodied.

does not count  May 11, 2008 Dark amber/red with minimal head, very little head with zero retention. Aroma had a nice malt and sweet mix, lightly floral. The taste was rather complex and not what I was expecting, the pine flavor is much more subtle than with certain hops. The malt flavors are quite dominant, but the floral/pine flavors linger nicely and theeir is a slight alchohol warming. Nice full body that leaves this is an enjoyable beer.
