Jun 1, 2004 The pour looks like brewed tea, dark orange and bubbly. Little to no head. Fresh, yet medicinal aroma with some pine and sprucey notes - also a smidgeon of maple syrup. Flavor has a tangy quality to it with some chewy fruity notes. Also has some nuttiness in there as well. I can see how this could be viewed as medicinal and healing. However, the Mouthfeel is a bit too tangy and the flavor is close to cloying near the end. Not an everyday ale - but a nice diversion.

May 30, 2004 Very interesting. Copper with weak white head. Nose had cherry candy, cough syrup, Maybe a hint of pine but not as expected. Medium bodied. The flavor was captivating. What is it? Hmmmm. It’s good but just what is it? Don’t know. The unusual taste made you want more if only to determine what that flavor was. I liked this beer.

May 30, 2004 Interesting to say the least. Amber in colour with just a little head. The nose is full of citrus and surprisingly pine, smells like an evergreen piece of gum. The taste is malty with again that kick of pine. Not all that bad. Easily drinkable, but probably wont drink again.

May 21, 2004 a nice berry, malty aroma. minimal head that quickly disappears, but remains as a ring ’round the glass. clear amber. nice ’n malty, then some taste of pine, but overall... it’s hard to put a finger on. not too entirely interesting, but very unique. i enjoy this beer quite a bit.

May 8, 2004 Medium amber color with a small head. Unusual aroma that is malty, sweet and spruce. Sweet woody flavor with tones of an unsusual pineyness. Deffinatly an unusual beer, good but not great, deffinatly a different experience.

May 4, 2004 Colour wise, this beer is a mixture of orange, red, and brown. Heady aromas of caramel malts, citrus, and sweeter berry fruit. It’s quite thick as far as mouthfeel goes, but it doesn’t seem to mesh well with the flavors of sweet fruit and malt. There’s a bit of the spruce and pine flavors there too, but not nearly as much as I would have liked or expected.
