BelgianBeerGal (1277), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Mar 10, 2008 Bottle poured at room remperature. Ruby/copper colour with a white ring on top. Aroma of caramel and slight hint of alcohol Very gentle woody pine flavour that was surprisingly not sharp. Interesting and unique. TheEpeeist (1430), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 9, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. Clear brown with a slim beige head. Nose of, surprisingly, gummi bears and pine. Medium light with a mild tingle and resin. Taste is toffee and peach tempered with pine. Worth a try. Jonte (801), Gothenburg, Sweden Mar 8, 2008 Bottle. Sample at Ölfrämjandet meeting at Haket, Gothenburg. Reddish/orange color with an off white head. Aroma: Berries, sourness, caramel, herbs, some frutiness.

Pours a dark reddish brown with a small head and a thin sweetish aroma. Sweet syruppy taste with a great herbal, almost medicine-like kick in the end. Bitter without hops, I really like this one. It’s geneous! RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA Feb 25, 2008 Slightly hazy reddish amber with a quickly fading off-white head. No real spruce or pine in the nose initially, just sugary sweet malt. very sweet malty flavor with the pine/spruce coming in for a crispy, herbal finish. Lightly syrupy on the palate. I was expecting more of a novelty beer here, but it’s a well-made ale in a very interesting traditional style, and it’s very pleasant and refreshing. badlizard (2326), Berkeley, California, USA Feb 18, 2008 from bevmo. Copper brown with a fizzy head. Sweet pine and caramel aroma. Overly sweet syrupy and strangely pine and berry cough syrup taste. mutant (854), Melbourne, Australia Feb 10, 2008 Small cream coloured head over a cloudy copper coloured body which contains tiny circulating particles. Strong sweet and floral aroma. Very sweet honey-like flavour. A little warming alcohol in the finish actually keeps this beer from being cloying. For lovers of non-hoppy beers only. WillieV (191), Maryland, USA Feb 9, 2008 Bottle: Nice golden brown color to it with a very thin off white head. Very nice carbonation to it. Semi sweet scent to it. Sweet/nutty taste to it. Very smooth.
