Towering tall at 6.6%, Big Spruce is a West Coast IPA bursting with bright citrus, refreshing pine, and a crisp bite. Bold and bracing, it's packed with flavour. Each sip transports you to the rugged wilderness, like a gust of fresh mountain air.

Pours rather clear blonde. Medium small white head. Scent is fairly mild. More on the crystal malts than the piney hops. Taste is medium vitter , low for the style. Caramel malts but also something dusty, aged about it, bit honeyed malts as well. Bbd 10 + months ahead though, and bought from a fridge... Decent beer, but not meeting expectations, let alone hopes. Also quite punchy on the alcohol, not at all smooth...
