Huge aroma of fresh cedar and juniper. Like grabbing a handfull of fresh spring growth from a cedar shrub. As i dive in i notice lots of citrus hops, and some light honey. The flavor is a big dose of cedar and grapefruit. A very bitter pithy grapefruit. Intense bitter finish, great stuff.

Draught @ Albion. Clear dark amber-copper with largish foamy beige head, faint caramel aroma, adequate carbonation, bitter resinous caramel taste with faint woodsy flavor, thin body, long medium bitter finish. Very solid brew.

Fluffy off white head stayed on a hazy copper coloured still body. Well balanced aroma of malts, sweet hops & spices. Medium bodied, creamy over the palate with an effervescent back & clean dry aft. Bitter pine, pith, pale malt, spices, earth & caramel tastes with a peppery finish.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Total Wine & More, Burlington. Appearance is lightly hazy (fine white particulates) amber-orange with nice sparkle, finger width off-white head with poor retention and trace soapy lacing. Aroma is heavy cedar dominating mildly fruity hops and base malts. Taste is heavy cedar as aroma dominating faint fruit, mild bitterness and cracker. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, slightly slippery texture, soft carbonation, mild pleasant alcohol warmth and finish as taste. Overall, not sure why I can't get into cedar the same as pine or spruce, but there's something either a little harsh about it or the connotations of moth prevention is not as appealing. Cedar is also too strong/dominant.
