Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Ringkøbing, Denmark

Bottle @ Esbjerg Festival, 2009. Pours hazy dark amber with a small head. Slightly tart fruity apple nose. Medium to thin palate. Weird and different but that doesnt quite cut it.

At the Ølfestival, Esbjerg, Denmark 23-10-09. Pours hazy amber with a sharp fruitiness. The pine needles and spruce were not so pushy to me and I will add that a chat with the chap behind the bar (brewer) suggested that he was a little unhappy with this, said it wasn’t quite to his liking and that he had problems getting the acidity right on a beer like this, nice, honest forthright chap.

Draught @ Ølfestival Aarhus 2008.
Unclear hazy medium orange amber color with a huge, frothy, good lancing, mostly lasting, beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, fruity, orange acidic, spruce, pine needle. Flavor is moderate sweet and acid pine needle with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. (170508)

Draft at Ølfestival, Århus, 2008. An unclear amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with very strong notes of spruce, as well as a light acidity, and so is the flavor. A bit too much spruce for my liking.

This brew is brewed with pine needels instead of hops. At this point it’s only 14 days old, and it will develop further. The aroma has notes of pine, the flavour is spicy with notes of pine, pine, pine and oh, yes pine, but also pine bubble bath, light citrus and malt. It’s exciting, but yet a bit sharp, I hope it will develop the unique smoothness as the one found in Årgab Deco pine!
