Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to becher glass.
Appearance: semi-dark amber color with a finger's worth of eggshell white foamy head which slid off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: deep piney hop tones, so deep I thought my nose was actually in the pine tree itself; clean caramel/toffee malts and a light dose of some grassy to lemony hops further underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together semi-brightly bittersweet; mild malty aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, some sessionability about it. semi-smooth along the tongue but some noticeable hop abrasion (I was expecting that); light finish of pine, pine and more pine, and somewhat dry; (did I say pine enough?)
Overall: probably one of the piney-est amber ales I've ever had. I liked it for me but if you're not a fan of piney beers, I recommend you stay away from this one.
