Tap. Rather clear deep amber color with white head. Aroma is smoked, ham, caramel. Taste is the same. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Super complex, super tasty!

Soft-toned, auburn-copper shows a very gentle haze and an off-white/beige head atop that is small, but fairly dense and showing moderate to strong retention.
Cedar is front-and-center, at least from amongst the three adjuncts here. Though even it is very tastefully done, with a spicy wood character that in no way overpowers the soft, lightly bready, well-attenuated malts. Poignant brushstrokes of juniper add a fruity-tartness, as the pine tips add zero astringency and give it a green, spicy, vegetal (the good vegetal) character. It all works well together, and in concert with the mildly-tart yeast, adding bright, fruity, lightly tart and pleasingly spicy aromatics, with a soft, mineral water-like character from Hill Farmstead. No alcohol or flaw.
Soft, spicy, fruity, but just very even for lack of a better word. There’s fruitiness and gentle acidity from the juniper, and the cedar adds mostly flavor (very little/no tannin) and somehow the pine adds no astringency. Easily the best treatment I’ve ever had of pine in a beer, which is not an easy ingredient to balance. Tight carbonation and a substantial body, yet nicely attenuated, with lightly bready malts, hints of caramel and light honey. Woody, spicy and lightly tart notes linger wonderfully on the end in a great balance, with a lip-smacking mint-like character in there as well.
