Aug 18, 2005 Poured a dark murky orange brown color with a minicule amount of head and minimal carbonation. Aroma is sweet, mango, sour apple, and something else that i cant place my finger on. Definitely delicious aroma though. Flavor is piney, overly sweet, then dry grapefruit and sugar taste. Overall, aroma is delicious, beer isnt.

Aug 16, 2005 Deep copper-caramel color with little head at all. The aroma remonds me of a brown or strong ale. A woody, smoky, flavor with a deep earthiness that finishes but then comes back with a strong and unpleasant aftertaste.

Aug 14, 2005 Deep orange with a dense off-white head and a large quantity of suspended yeast particles. Fragant medicinal nose of malt, wood and spice. The body is oily with a peppery spice quality and a lingering resiny finish.

Smokey winey and piney, this ale is a wonderful look at what beer was like back in the day (Okay, at least at a nostaglic sense). This beer pours like wine is oily and complexed. The strong malt sweetness makes perfect love to the pine and spruce flavoring. Hopheads be warned this is not your thing! But if you enjoy original, and unique beers try this one out! I also recommand all the beers from Heather Ales.

Aug 11, 2005 Updated: Sep 7, 2005Bottle (330ml). Poured a very murky, lively amber-brown with an average very light tan tightly bubbled head. Quite a few medium and large light-coloured floaties. Aroma of sour wine, cider, yeasty moderately roasted malt, some evergreen mulch & resiny pine cones - overall quite tart. Taste is a tangy battle between fairly thick sweet roasted malts and slightly sour pine and spruce resins, with a little bit of hop tossed in to even out the finish, although that might be the pine outlasting the malt. Mouthfeel is quite thick and astringent from the "tree" components. This bottle may be a bit past its prime, but it held up well, despite the yeasties.

Jul 28, 2005 Dark maroon with some smallish creamy head. Lots of honey sweetness in the aroma, combined with some plantiness? Some spruce combined with some nice honey sweetness that finishes rather dry. Pretty woody aftertaste. Medium bodied. A solid and interesting brew.

Jul 26, 2005 Hazy rust-amber body. Piney aroma with grape juice and hints of orange peel. Strong flavor of woody malt, soft spine, and spearmint gum. Miney, grapey finish with a woody dryness. An interesting fruity, dry beer. Try it!
