Taste: Citrus-forward at first, with bursts of grapefruit zest and lemon, which is later complemented by the resinous spruce notes and piney hop bitterness. As the beer settles on the palate, its intense resinous character subsides, leaving room for the biscuity malt profile and subdued malt sweetness.
Appearance: A lemon-yellow beer with a pristine white head.
Nose: Bold and resinous, with notes of freshly cut lime fruits and springtime spruce shoots.
Malts: Pilsner zero
Hops: HBC 431, Mosaic, Columbus, spruce tips

Can 33 cl. Pours golden with a slight haze and a rough, white head. Nice mostly piney aroma with only a faint suggestion of spruce. Rich, malty sweet fruitiness with the spruce becoming way more prominent - to an almost overwhelming degree. No real bitterness. Not a fan of spruce in beer, tbh. 220525

330ml can from Farmers Bar, Avenue K, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, light herbal citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, somewhat light, aromatic, herbal, piney, light toffee, light floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium to light bodied with average to soft carbonation. Served a little too cold. Took a while for the flavours to come through.

Halmgul disig vätska med rejält tilltagen skumkrona. Generösa aromer av grape, granskott, kåda och lite passion. Stram maltig kropp och en rejäl fruktighet i beskan som avslutas av kåda och granskott. Mjuk och len munkänsla.
