Drat Grove location. Black beer with ghost white head. Aroma is strong spruce. Fresh and light pine but strong. Light bodied beer, light tingling carbonation. Less strong pine flavor, malty earth. Lightly dry finish. Haven’t had good spruce beer in a while. Provides a strong pine aroma, lighter flavor, and even lighter and easier base beer that still complements the spruce.

Pour is a dark brown with a small white head. Aroma is pine sol with a mix of herbs and spices. Flavor is an eye opening spruce with not much else. This was way heavy on the spruce tips. I did not know what spruce tasted like but I do now. Kinda needed to lower the spruce b/c that’s all I got and then some. No way I could drink a lot of this without feeling overwhelmed.
