| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Apr 22, 2008 bottle- A lot softer on the pine than i remember it, taste is refreshing pine, with a really sticky syrupy mouthfeel. nose is fresh piney and wooded with a back drop of lemon, and breaded malts. I remember it tasting like a pine forest, or stewed pine needles this is much subtler and better in my opinion. alobar (1015), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 13, 2008 Pours a clear, pilsner-like yellow with a white soapy head. Strawberry aroma with hints of pine. Taste was fruit-grapefruit, malts, yeast. Unusual beer and very enjoyable. BeerZack (116), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 1, 2008 Caramelly orange in color with small, fine ring of bubbles that does lace.
Sweet, fruity, yeasty. Banana, bubblegum, caramel, lemon zest.
Slightly sweet, but less so than the nose, a salty caramel impression, but light malt flavors overall. Fruit (apple, banana, fig), hint of spice and sugar.
Soft, smooth, medium bodied, not highly carbonated. Doesn’t taste or smell like spruce or pine to me. stefanje (938), (Santee) San Diego, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 31, 2008 330 ml bottle from bevmo. Pours a slightly hazy copper-amber color with a off-white head that lasts a while. The aroma is big with spruce, and ripe red fruits. Flavors of cranberries, cherries and strawberries. Malty mouthfeel with medium-light carbonation. Finishes long and sweet with lingering berries. Overall: This reminds me a lot of Alaskan Winter Ale (also brewed with spruce tips). Very unusual and enjoyable. KimJohansen (6866), Copenhagen V, Denmark

Aroma is bread crust with subtle sweetness and mild fruit aroma. Flavor is interesting. Mildly sweet and fruity with hints of spruse and some bread crust on the finish. Body is kind of sugar watery with little carbonation. Definately an interesting beer though it could use more of a kick. ekstedt (2419), Göteborg, Sweden
