Bottle at a tasting in Portland-Oregon, many thanks to douglas88 for hosting and offering. Dark bright clear gold color, little lacing. Nose: piney, eucalyptus, pine honey, pines forest. Very peculiar. Mouth: frizzy carbo, sweet piney candy, elegant piney feel all around. Crazy and tasty. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

I rated this a few weeks ago under Spruce Desay #1 and then moved it here just now. 750 ml bottle from the brewery. Aroma is lactic, dusty basements, sprucy forests, lemon, oak, cheese. Pours cloudy golden with a thick off-white pillowy head with excellent retention and curtains of lace left behind. Taste is dry, sour (6/10), bretty, barnyard, spruce, funky. Carbonation is near champagne-like, which I don’t care for. It just stops short of that level, thankfully. Body is a bit thin. Really good, but it’s not as impressive as the Petit Mosaic, which so far is my favorite from this brewery.

Bottle thanks to Rainer. Pours a cloudy yellow orange with medium frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is strong funk, oak, spruce. Thin mouth, strong spruce, grass, funky, light tartness and acidity, spruce very overpowering.

500 ml. Rated April 15, 2016. Ratebeer seems to have lost my review of this. I gave it a quick rate of 4.0 at the time, so it’s guesswork what I liked about it.

Bouteille 750ml, bottle share. Couleur jaune dorée pâle, mousse blanche laissant un anneau sur les parois du verre. Arôme de souffre, chimique. Goût de conifère, acidité intolérable. Carbonatation moyenne-élevée, corps moyen.

Bottle thanks to Nick. Pours a cloudy orange gold with large frothy white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong citrus, pine, funk. Thin mouth, tart citrus, brett, pine, juicy, very nice.
