Muddy light brown with golden-amber highlights. Sweet sprucey notes with hints of earthy malt. The palate is sweet, sprucey/bubblegummy, with hints of caramelly, earthy malts. A little heavy and malty - I dig lighter, more vibrant spruce ales.

(Bottle) Pours a lightly hazy amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma of spruce and citrus. Flavor of spruce, juicy grapefruit, toasted malt, and some floral hops with a finish that reminds me of a soda fountain drink with the syrup running dry (more carbonation than it should have). Very interesting beer, but could not finish a full bottle on my own.
