From a pint can. Pours a hazy straw with an off white head. Aromas of spruce and grapefruit. Flavors are bitter citrus and pine.

Canned 6/18/21, drunk 8/1/21.
Lightly hazy, soft, peachy-gold with a small, white head showing moderate retention.
Delicate nose shows great restraint on the spruce, adding light acidity to the finish while the bulk of the character comes from the gently citrusy-peachy hops, fruity yeast and light honey and biscuit from the malts. No alcohol or flaw.
Soft and malty but very well-attenuated with a hint of spruce on the finish and mostly fruity, peachy, citrusy hops through the middle. Engaging carbonation and a balancing cereal grain character that keeps it very refreshing. Hops almost get a touch juicy after warming. Clean and free of alcohol notes.

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a glossy to ruddy pale yellow almost orange color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a decent pace. Sly lace, ends up sliding right on into the beer.
The aroma had a nice fresh spruce/sweet pine to sweet wheat encompassing a nice flow from the wheat to some extra citrusy pulpiness.
The flavor pretty much copies the aroma spot on. Subtle sweet gliding sprucy/needle-like to citrusy pulpy aftertaste flowing right on into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Low carbonation with a fresh appropriate ABV seemingly hitting the spot.
Overall, worthy of having again and many more pours. Wishing my buddies wouldn’t just bring this stuff to me, as I’m hoping I get to go here some day.
