Bottle. Surprised I am the first rater for this, but here goes! Pours crystal clear ruby amber, really beautiful, actually, with a medium creamy tan head that slowly dissipates leaving nice lacing. Aroma is pine, caramel, grapefruit, toffee. Flavor is the same, pine/spruce hops blending with a caramel toffee malt base to result in something medium sweet and medium bitter with a lingering bitter finish. Lots of tree sap going on here. Medium body, but a very oily smooth mouthfeel. Opened up as it warmed and really became quite nice. A solid beer for sure.
