Bottle. Pours clear amber, small off-white head, some lacing. Aroma is indeed botanical, juniper, pine needles. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, nice forest botanical gin feel to it, hint of tartness. Light body, soft light carbonation.

(Bottle shared by Quentin @ Luc's, Oct 19/19) Pours lightly hazed deep orange with an eggshell head. A truly unique and bizarre set of aromas and flavours, with clear spruce/fir/pine aromatics, juniper/cedar woodsiness, sweetish malt core with caramel and spicy rye, but also prominent acidic citrus bite, vinous woodiness, spicebox elements, intense herbal coniferous slightly astringent finish. Medium bodied, oily. Wow, what an experience, unlike even any other spruce beer I've had. I can see why this is divisive, and I was a little tipsy when I tried it, but I honestly thought it was great.

Bottle. I think from Healthy Living Market, Burlington, VT. Pale copper colour. Light haze. Fine, off white head. Nose has berry skin. Cinnamon. Vinous oak. Some sweet grain. Taste is tart and vinous, in a bit of an Oude bruin kind of way. Light body. Fairly acidic and vinous. Soft carbonation. Tart and vinous finish.
Tart, bitter finish, not floral
