On draft at the brewery taphouse. Pours a clear gold with an off white head. Aroma of spruce and bitter orange. Flavors are moderately bitter and herbal. BItter herbal finish.

Amber, floral and spruce nose. Lots of spruce on the palate, some sweetness and a touch of tartness.

Bottle. Pours a near light gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has light tart fruits with a bit of spruce and light gray supporting. Flavor has a decent amount of spruce with a growing light tartness and a hint of grain.

8oz draft at Chuck’s. Maybe these beers are just not good on tap. Another disappointing Prop beer. Murky, dirty, headless, dark golden body. A muddled beer, spruce isn’t strong or not as strong as I want it to be. Mainly a toasted malt Saison, an actual Saison as opposed to the common crap. Has actual rustic saison character but is bogged down by lack of sharpness and a messy malt soupiness. Low esters, light lemon. A bit of an Hernan character but I’d never know it’s spruce.

Bottle - Stone fruit and lots of funk. Clearish gold with a decent white head. Nice funky notes and sweet pine herbal notes. I like this.

Tasting at Matt’s
Cloudy golden color. Fresh wood sap aroma, light mint, glue. The body is leaner than expected, it has some residual sweetness, can feel some of the spruce, and this is not what you expect from beer, a bit soapy.
Weird.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a medium white head. Aroma brings out farmhouse notes, some light spruce, and some wild yeast. Flavour is quite complex, with notes of spruce, lovely wild critters, and some earthy notes. Quite complex, with the spruce incorporated subtly and expertly. Excellent.
