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 (from Alko web). Slightly hazy golden colour with a huge foamy/fluffy head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is floral, fruity, some mild spruce and a bit grainy tones. Flavour is a bunch of spruce tips, some floral, herbal and mild grainy tones to it.

Tap at the brewery taproom. Thin body, medium carbonation. Medium bitterness, light spruce tip sourness, low sweetness. Very fresh crisp feeling, moderate spruce tips, moderately resiny, piney hops character, slightly zesty. Very easy drinking, very good.

Can at home shared with Laura. Somewhat yellow golden color, white head. Aroma is citrusy hoppy. Flavor is similar, but also a bit artificial. Slightly bitter in the finish. Hmm not great but it's okay, drinkable.

Golden, lightly cloudy colour, small steady head with some lace. Citrus, spruce needle nose. Light to medium-bodied. Citrus, even zesty flavour, notes of spruce needles. Simple spruce IPA.

Disappointing. Not because it's a bad beer, it's not. More that its description of a piney, resinous beer does not match the content of the can. It's, at best, at half decent hazy ipa. No bitterness or expected pine at all.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
