Feb 16, 2006 Bottle pours a dark amber with a light white head. A flowery aroma and mellow spicey flavor, dominated by malt. Medium-bodied, with an encroaching alcohol presence. A beer worth exploring a few times!

Plenty of malt flavour. Sweet finish.

Feb 4, 2006 Copper-coloured with a small off-white head.Sweet and intensely spicy (pine?) aroma. Flavours are predominantly sweet caramel, and the pine adds bubblegum-like flavours. Moderately dry finish. Full-bodied. An very interesting ale.

Jan 31, 2006 Bottled. Nut brown colour with full, fluffy, tan brown head. Hoppy, pine needle aroma and flavour. Interesting blend of flavours I thought. More complex then your average brew with interesting, varied and long palate.

Jan 26, 2006 C’était très dure à boire, surtout à la température de la pièce, j’aurais du la boire froide. De plus, je n’aime pas déjà le bière d’épinette.

Jan 23, 2006 Dark amber in colour with small white head. very chunky sediment. Spicey aroma of pine. Warm mouth feel, hint of tropical banna esters.

Jan 22, 2006 Not at all what I expected from a pine ale. The dominant flavor is raspberry which, unfortunately, I don’t like much. It’s sweet and fruity in the front with grape, strawberry, raisin and that strong raspberry. This sweetness is completely unchecked (due to the lack of hops) and has the potential to be syrupy and cloying. But, then the pine comes in and cleanses the palate with a refreshing, crisp flavor. Hops clearly do a better job of balancing malt than pine and spruce do. However, this dynamic of all malt at first, and then all pine is something I like. I’d love to try more beers like this. Perhaps with some hops in there, the pine could actually stand out more, which I would like to experience. I’m glad I tried this, although it’s not my favorite.

Jan 16, 2006 Hazy brown color with a small head that disappears quickly. Aroma is sweet, sprucy and malty. Flavor is piney and sprucy, with wood flavors, some sweetness. Overall well balanced and interesting flavor. Very nice texture and a nice finish.
