This complex pale ale has as much charm and hardiness as our northern trees that withstand the harsh Northern climate. As a Northwest-style pale ale that is copper in color, this beer is well balanced by late additions of Simcoe and Chinook hops, producing a rich pine aroma and flavor that complements its moderate hop bitterness.

473mL can, courtesy of pictoman (thanks Ryan!), pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma reveals faded resinous hops, bready malt, and some earthiness. Flavour has a very poor hop expression—seems old even though the can is fairly fresh—with bready malt, earth and oxidation. Not good.

16oz (thx, Ryan!) @ Black Christmas 2023 at Heritage Hall. Appearance: hazy copper with a white head. Aroma: piney, a bit fruity, simple. Taste: along the same lines, loads of piney bitterness. Overall: meh.

Poured from 473ml can (thanks Emily) @ Black Xmas. Hazed gold with small white head. Mild pine, biscuit malt okay.

Has a great head with some substance to it and a brown copper body with minimal carbonation. Aroma is soft hops and maybe some malts, but not too strong. Flavour is lager-ish with good hop notes and a malty nutty finish. Good oiliness on the mouth. It’s well done, a promising start to this brewery.
