COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A truly unique beer made from the finest Northwest barley malts and Spruce tips. We use a small amount of hops for bittering and all the rest of the flavor comes from tender, new-growth Sitka spruce tips. Amazingly fruity and full bodied!

Baby diaper? what is that? now i am distracted. sour funk that cannot possibly be intentional. will try again. dark hazy amber, average head, little chunk. That crazy aroma permeates everything and I cannot get a good read. actively seeking again.

Aroma – Light ale malt aroma with a slight spruce aroma.
Appearance – Amber in color, Clear with a light head.
Flavor – This beer had some off flavors and was nasty to drink. Infected
Palate – So so Mouthfeel, OK texture with a dry buttery finish.
Overall – This was a very bad beer. The flavor was off and very filled with dactyl. I poured this beer out.

Bottle from Market of Choice in Ashland, OR. WOW!! this is definately different. It looked and smelled okay, but when I took a sip the palate was all over the place. It was malty with a little bit of sour. Not one of the better beers I’ve had.

timfoolery (595) - California, USA - AUG 6, 2008
Bottle from Market of Choice in Ashland, OR. This one was not good. Compared to the Wooly Bully, it was slightly better (which isn’t saying much). It tasted straight on pine trees. There were some funky flavors, so it wasn’t a good mix of hops. Something was off.

A good spruce ale, incredibly lite. One part Riesling, one part Pepsi, and a third sheer spruce. I *heart* tree beer.
