Canned 7/1/25, drunk 8/13/25.
Glassy peach-copper-bronze. Large, butter-tinted head, steadily to clumpy cover.
Really nice fruitiness from (assumedly) the yeast and the spruce tips. No big aggressive acidity or resin. Soft honey and white bread-like malt gently balances.
Sprucey and with an earthy bitterness and lightly floral. Not too bitter, not resinous, not dominated by spruce, but done expertly, rather. Soft, deep malts cushion and it's well-attenuated.
On top of everything else this brewery does right, for a small brewery/canning line, their cans are always in excellent condition. And that's certainly not a given, as I think quality usually scales with volume and larger canning operation (though not always, of course).

5 oz. pour on tap as part of flight at the brewery. Deeply hazy dark yellow, nice sparkle, ring of head & light lacing. Aroma is strong spruce tips over bread. Taste strong spruce tips, mild late bread. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carb & finish as taste. If you like spruce beers, this is one for you!
