skortila (2875), Bunnik, Netherlands Oct 27, 2006 Aroma is fruity and caramel malty. Perhaps some ginger in it. Clear, brown coloured with a lasting, medium brown head. taste is sweet, fruity and caramel malty. Slightly sticfky finish. Quite a nice brew. thomat (666), Göteborg, Sweden Oct 23, 2006 Clear redish brown color with a small tan head. Very complex fruit, berry and herbal notes. Like walking trough a pine forest on a hot summer´s day ! Medium body wit a nice bitter-sweet finish. Rune (2748), Tromsø, Norway Oct 12, 2006 330ml bottle bought at Utobeer in London. Ruby red or tawny with a solid off-white head. Very nice clarity. Inviting fruity aroma. Taste of berries (strawberry), flowers and fruit (pineapple). Unusual, but quite appealing (16.09.2006). pinkzambia (986), Boise, Idaho, USA Oct 8, 2006 Bottle:Cloudy reddish apple cider color with no head. Aromas of spicy bananas, spruce and sweet figs. The taste is initially off-putting, something resembling furniture polish and musty rubbing alcohol. But as you get used to it it grows on you and you don’t really notice much of spruce or pine, except maybe the sap from the enhds of the spruce needles. I also noticed hints of cola and peaty scotch. The body is full and creamy. Out of these traditional ales made by Williams Brothers, this one is definitely the best. SSSteve (2045), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Oct 8, 2006 may 98 sprigs. syrupy, caramel colored pour. no head. sugary sweet tart candy flavor. nutra-sweet, medicinal. malty strawberry aroma. not sure what to think about this. very odd stuff. it became very cloying by the end of the beer. very artificial and sugary. interesting, but i don’t like it. gnoff (3560), Göteborg, Sweden Oct 8, 2006 (33 cl bottle at Haket, Göteborg) Clear red brown color, creamy tan head. Sweet fruity and berry-like scent. Sweet taste, chocolate wild strawberry, nice as a dessert. Raises my interest to use pine and spruce in my own ales. MEdium bitterness. Sweet aftertaste. 00cobraR (1096), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA Oct 1, 2006 Pours a coppery color with a biege head. Aroma is very malty and kind of sweet. Flavor was a little to sweet for my liking. not to bad but something i wont drink again muenster (339), Sevierville, Tennessee, USA Sep 29, 2006 Bottle. Pours copper/brown with a thin off-white head. Wow, the aroma is a total malt-festival. Caramel, toast, toffee, and milk chocolate all are very prevalent. Flavor is sugar sweet caramel with maple syrup, some dark fruit, and a mild pine finish.
