Jul 21, 2007 Bottle. Just the smallest hint of pine on the nose. Mostly sweet malt. pours a rich, viscous copper brown with some decent sticky lacing. Definitely a some pine on the palate, but not overwhelming at all. Slightly herbal and woody with sweet caramel notes throughout. Decent carbonation with a fairly rich sticky body.

Jul 19, 2007 tall creamy light tan head, dark auburn mostly clear body. aroma is dried berries, light spruce tips, and sweet fruity malt. flavor is kind of the same; a bit water but sweet malty and dry/fruity, with some more pine needles/spruce tips. not bitter like hop conifers though. finish is a bit more dry and bitter in an herbal kind of way. yes, a bit woody but more like sprig branches. would be fun to have on a camping trip.

Jul 11, 2007 Pours dark ruby brown with thinner off-white head. Flowery/piney on the nose with suggestions of raisins, sugar and alcohol. A syrupy ale with pine being at the forefront, but not overpowering. There are whispers of spice and light herb/mint flavors. Alcohol is on the taste, but it is well balanced, and fairly well disguised. Not very carbonated but certainly drinkable. The beer is unique, interesting and a good choice for something tastey and different.

Jul 8, 2007 12oz bottle from Ron’s. Lighter amber translucent body with a quarter inch of off-white head. Smells like caramel malt, spice, and pine. Sweetness is the first thing I noticed, with a flavor I’m not familiar with (I’m assuming pine) playing a strong role and a slight hint of alcohol on the finish, though otherwise it’s very well-hidden. Medium bodied, not syrupy or sticky at all. Fairly drinkable. An interesting ale and definitely worth the try. Not something I’d seek out again, nor would I oppose having it again. A pretty unique solid ale.
