May 28, 2006 I would be satisfied with just smelling this beer - drinking it is an added bonus! Fruity on the nose, despite a fast-disappearing head. Very earthy tones that went down smooth. A must try in my book.

May 25, 2006 0,33l bottle. Small white head which disappears quickly. Copper-ruby colour and an incredibly sweet, malty, burned aroma. The pine can clearly be tasted and reminds me of Finnish pine-aroma sauna. The aftertaste is fresh and dry. Truly one of the more spectalular beer experiences.

May 22, 2006 Clear copper body with a frothy white head. Sweet fruit and caramel aroma. Flavor of fruit, pine and noticable licorice

May 18, 2006 Sweet, marshmellow, pine, chocolate aroma. The flavor is similar to the aroma though doesn’t work as gracefully. There is a rich hazelnut flavor, oak, a touch of pine, though it is very thin and there is a big alcohol kick, especially for 7.5%.

May 16, 2006 From a slender 11.2 oz. brown bottle with a blurb and a notched best before date on the right side of front label, Feb/2007. Served at cellar temperature.
Made a decent appearance, poured a reddish and orange hued amber with a small foamy, fizzy topped pale tannish head that settled into a thin bubbly lacing, moderate carbonation overall.
Had a piney, and yes, spruce, and an apple, pear fruity nose with a faint herbal and earthy background.
A crisp, smooth medium bodied mouth feel, good drinkability.
Piney, spruce, spicy and apple fruity taste, a earthy herbal bitterness, a nice alcohol warmth towards the middle and a spruce, herbal and fruity finish, a bit on the dry side.
A nice herbed ale, tasty and balanced, well worth trying.

May 16, 2006 Pours a murky reddish brown, white head. This was good, not overpowering on anything. Nice brown sugar and caramel sweetness, along with dark fruits, roasted malt, no pine though? Everything blended great and very drinkable.

May 11, 2006 12 oz. bottle from BevMo LaJolla. Pours clear, rich cherry mahogany color with a large off-white head leaving stringy lace. Aroma is fascinating, piney, syrupy, oily, herbal notes, maple and rosemary. Flavor is like sweet malt syrup infused with pine oil, bitter grass adn herbs - like I imagine Pine-Sol might taste. Medium body, gentle carbonation. This one got much more pungent and potent as it warmed, definitely one of the most interesting beers I’ve had, but the flavor just didn’t do it for me.

May 6, 2006 Wasn’t too sure what to expect with this one, but was pleasantly surprised. Sweet caramel flavors, a good combination of spices and bitterness. Good stuff.
