22oz bottle-lt tan-hazy to cloudy gold. A-sweet lt/med malt-bready, some pine. T-pine/spruce upfront, joined by sweet/bready-lt/med malt. Nice, easy, towards med body beer.

Bottle from The Drinkery, Pours a hazy medium golden color with a huge fluffy off white head that takes forever to dissipate. Smells of light sugary malt with a sharp astringent phenolic aroma that I can’t quite place. The flavor is slight sugary malt with with a faint odd bitterness that I assume is spruce tips but its not strong enough to be sure. Phenols and astringency round out the flavor. Medium body with a moderate to high level of carbonation and a sweet slick mouthfeel. Well at least it doesn’t taste like liking a pine tree! If this wasn’t brewed with a Belgian yeast strain there is a wild yeast at work here. The phenols are strong with this one, as is the astringency. Swing and a miss.
