A uniquely balanced golden ale brewed to celebrate summer on the West Coast. Fresh-picked spruce tips and Simcoe hops provide a tropical pine aroma that’s perfectly balanced with a golden and crisp malt profile.

650 ml bottle. Pours a hazy amber with moderate retentive head. Aromas of bread dough, sweet malts, candied fruit, and light rubber. Surprising after the the nice nose, there’s not as much flavor. Full bodied malts with some piney spruce hints. Not unpleasant but mostly just a malty beverage.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a cloudy dark orange with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out slight spruce and mild vegetal notes. Flavour is a lot more robust, with potent spruce and lots of unpleasant vegetal notes. Seems okay at first, but the vegetal-dominated finish is not nice. Not a good beer.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy amber color with compact head. Fruity amber ale, with quite good malt and caramel flavor, mild fruity waves from the hops, very mild spruce; I find the final being just slightly too bitter and carrying some vegetable bitterness, less pleasant than. The rest.
Well brewed.
