Inspired by a lore: an ale of mythic proportions. Heroically brewed with Maine-foraged spruce tips replacing flavor and aroma hops. A super refreshing, complex ale with a Maine malt base. Notes of mild evergreen, mint + sweet herb balance out candied fruit flavors- we’ve heard everything from pineapple lifesavers to grape nerds!

Gravity cask at the 2018 Nottingham Beer Festival. Aged in a gin cask. Brownish gold with a tiny ring of white head. A lot going on the aroma. Fruity ginny sweetness combines well with the spiciness of the spruce. It tastes even better: sweet and herbal with notes of persimmon and woody resin. This is a great beer and a spot-on cask pairing.

Pours bright gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes to skim surface. Baby aspirin aromas. Soft with lemon and spruce upfront turning to bitter earth and aspirin in the medium length finish.
