This winter-inspired pils is a classic drinkable pilsner brewed with spruce tips. Like a deep breath of fresh Northwest air, Yellow Snow is a crisp and clean with a refreshing hint of spruce making this pils enjoyable time and time again. Contrary to popular belief, spruce tips don't actually taste like Christmas trees. Instead, they impart subtle yet complex aromas and flavors of sweet bubblegum, citrus and resin.

7 INGREDIENTS: Weyerman Pils, Carabelge malts; Perle, Sterling hops; Oregon Spruce Tips; Czech Pils Yeast; Free Range Coastal Water

Pour is a clear golden with a large white head. Aroma is some doughy malt with some wintergreen which I guess is from the spruce. Flavor is more of the spruce with a slightly sweet finish. Reminds me of some cheaply made gum. Good enough for a sample but not much beyond that.

5 week old can > pilsner glass A: Pours clear pale gold with barely any head, then quickly none despite persistent bubbles. S: Mainly just bread and faint herbal or noble hops. T: Some sweetness hits first ending with a hint of tart fruit. Maybe that's the spruce. More corn than bread noticed. M: Medium light and slightly watery but carbonation is livelier than it looks. O: Fairly tasty but somewhat bland overall and quite expensive. Not a repeat purchase.

12 oz can. Aroma is doughy, wet hay, chalky candy, hint of lemon peel, hint of spruce. Pours hazy golden with a one finger white head with decent retention. Taste is lightly sweet, lightly bitter. Could use a tad more carbonation. Not among the best craft pilsners, and the spruce is very hard to detect. Not bad, but a bit of a missed opportunity.

12 ounce can. Number one with a bullet. Bright honey gold color. Fluffy white head disapates after a few minutes. Light grainy citrus malt nose. First sip is tart and lemony, with sweet fruity notes. Crisp, semi dry hop finish. Refreshing and drinkable with nary a hint of spruce.
