Beeroness (2), USA does not count Feb 4, 2007 From the bottle. Pours a lovely and cloudy copper with a soft head. The nose is distinctly pine and malt with some bready/yeasty notes. The flavor is true pine and very pleasantly so, if you’re a fan of that style. The mouth is light to medium body and finishes quite dryly. An altogether quaffable ale. SDalkoholic (1186), Chula Vista, California, USA Feb 3, 2007 Aroma is a average olfaction of a typical beer with some light spice of gigner or perhaps or some other kind of freshly cut root. Cloudy and filled with sediment. Mahogany color and has small head that started on its own as soon as i pulled the cap off. The flavor is rich in spice and has a background of bread and fruit. Kind of like a fruitcake flavor going on here, but some nice spice of ginger and touch of pine to make this a truly unique ale.
motelpogo (4394), Plzen, Czech Republic Feb 3, 2007 on cask at berlinerbierfest06. reddish brown, spicy, gooseberry aroma. alcohol shows but is quite warming, lightly prickly and some pleasant lacic sourness. tronraner (1905), Maryville, Tennessee, USA Jan 22, 2007 Bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy rust color with gray floaties and beige head. The aroma is quite malty with some yeasty bread tones and some fruity floral notes. The flavor is very piney, which surprised me a little because it is so subdued in the nose. The edge is taken off it by some bready yeast and malt notes. Some caramelized sugar sweetness floats around in there, too. The finish is increasingly dry and leaves a slight pine and alcohol aftertaste. I like this brew quite a bit, but I am a fan of pine and spruce flavors.

Taste is similar, piny and molasses. Very good stuff; a slightly thin finihs, but certainly great. smellyshoes (11), USA Jan 17, 2007 This beer is good, but not good enough to warrant how seriously it takes itself on the label. I expect fireworks from anything that proclaims it should be drunk "from a wine goblet". It is remarkably smooth, given the relatively high alcohol content. Beautiful color. Smells a bit like pinesol--I suppose this is a downside to any pine ale. Overall good, but in my eye, a tad overrated.
