Feb 24, 2009 Bottle. Thank you cusemanchild for this on. Very good beer. Aroma is some hop bitterness. Pours a hazy orange color with no head. Very drinkable decent beer.

Feb 21, 2009 This one was funky to me. Kind of sweet-sour, a weird unbalance. Was watery, but at the same time was this bad-sweet flavor, and had this funky pine needle aftertaste. I just didn’t dig it at all.

Feb 20, 2009 Cloudy, reddish-orange with a thin white head. Slight aroma of pine or spruce resin. Taste is very flowery and herbal. Lingering finish. Bitterness from hops or more roasted malt would make this better as it is overly sweet and difficult to swallow without a head shake. No lacing whatsoever.

Feb 10, 2009 Bottle. Big malty nose, herbal with a sweety gummy touch, strong citrus and spice with undulating caramel. Woody, yes, but only subtly and not obviously spruce or pine. Orange-brown [yes, tawny] haze of a body with a light, lacing tan head. Initially sweet body turns mildly dry, strong currents of wood and bubblegum in an overall mild offering. Alcohol is dangerously hidden, whisper smooth light-medium body. Faint earthy spruce to top off. Citrus gives lightness and brevity. Honey drops and light raisin. Light caramel. Superbly agile and balanced ale; quenching and highly repeatable, novel but not tacky. A great treat to return to every so often.

Feb 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours a tawny brown orange with a thin off white lacing. Spruce, pine, sap; fruity with notes of gum, caramel, and citrus. Flavor is very sweet with unrefined sugar and a candy sweetness. Passion fruit and citrus. Wow what an odd ball. Extra points for this being rather unique in my book.

Feb 2, 2009 Dated June 09. Dark cloudy brownish orange with a weak ring of off white head. Sweet caramel and a floral aroma. Taste is caramel, tropical fruits, light vanilla, honey, some pine and spruce in the finish where the hops should be.

Jan 29, 2009 Rather malty, I was’t expecting that. More of a hybrid than some others in this category. Nice and easy drinking, hides the 7.5% alcohol well. Actually, didn’t taste much pine or spruce at all.
