Super Spruce owes its immense pine aromatics to a double dose of resin. The new growth of spruce trees layered with Chinook hops create a complex profile of fresh pine that includes floral, citrus, cola, and bubble gum undertones. This unboiled beer is luminous and hazy with a grapefruit-like acidity that perfectly showcases the bright coniferous flavors rounded off by a touch of sea salt.

A hazed blonde Gose with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with nice berries, light acidity and faint cheese note. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with light acidity, lemon, light lactic cheese notes, nice and refreshing. On tap at L'autre oeil.

11/12/18, very sprucy, spruce life. Almost like a gose. It's light and sprucy. Too sprucy.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 11/12/2018. Pours very hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tart lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, red/green apple, white grape/wine, berries, citrus peel/zest, spruce, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of peppercorn, pine, sea salt, leathery/musty/lacto funk, white wine vinegar, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, spruce tips, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, red/green apple, white grape/wine, berries, citrus peel/zest, spruce, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of peppercorn, pine, sea salt, leathery/musty/lacto funk, white wine vinegar, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate lactic tartness; pine, herbal, floral, grassy bitterness; and peppery yeast/spruce spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, red/green apple, white grape/wine, berries, citrus peel/zest, spruce, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, peppercorn, pine, sea salt, light funk/vinegar, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, spruce tips, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with an awesome malt, tart, bitter, spiciness balance; and no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness, spiciness, and tartness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy/acidic/sticky, fairly crisp, and lightly saline balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.7%. Overall this is an incredible dry hopped gose. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, spruce tips, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/bitter/spicy/drying finish; not overly lactic or salty. Amazing balance of juicy/lightly dank hops, Brett/Lacto complexity, and spruce tips; with a solid pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example. Not overwhelming on any aspect.
