Poured from 32 fl oz crowler (thanks Char). Clear gold with small white head. Light cracker malt, sweet citrusy spruce tips. Average.

Pours darkish gold, with a thin head. There's definitely a little bit of spruce on the aroma, malts a bit crackery. On the palate, similar. The base beer has a bit of crackeriness to it, then the spruce sort of helps it along by providing accent, as it is somewhat low on hop expression, and just a little bit of bitterness. It's not the greatest beer, but it's better for having the spruce in there.

1L crowler, pours a clear dull blonde with a small white head. Aroma smells like earthy BO and woody spruce. Flavour is quite sprucey, with lots of earthiness and dry bready malt. Herbal BO and spruce on the finish. Not sure why this is rated so high (used to be better?). Meh.

Draft at the brewpub. Nose is sprucey not so much piney with a light caramel background and just a hint of bitterness. Hazy orange yellow with a medium white head. Flavor is spruce, light sweetness, and a hint of bitter.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma seems a bit evergreen. Med body. Flavor is pretty spruce with bready caramel support. Bitter enough finish. Nice.
