Big forest vibes from the spruce tips added at whirlpool (thanks for sending some over @beretatm ) on top of a full-on, heavily C-hopped Westcoast IPA, with a lot of bittersweet pine resin, tons of grapefruit, marmalade and an old school, sharp, bitter bite.

Can at home, koszi Kini! Pours opaque copper with an off-white head. Nose is pine, and frankly I cant tell the hops and spruce apart, it might be any of those. It also showed fruity and honey characteristics, but rather vaguely. (Senki nem fogja ezt erteni, de nagyon hasonlit az illata a First alap IPAjahoz, csak ertelemszeruen kellemesebb annal. Mindenesetre erdekes.) Taste is much less bitter than expected, showing notes of spruce and resin, this latter rather vaguely. There’s also floral notes, some honey and earthy-herbal bitterness. Closes with a bittersweet finish, it has a light to medium body and soft(er than expected) carbonation. What I expected was a full-on west coast madness enhanced by the spruce tips, but this is rather an old school English IPA with some piny character. Not quite what I thought it was gonna be, but a decent beer nevertheless.

BOTTLE 33 CL. Clear deep amber, rocky off-white head. Smells of sweet sugar glazed citrus, some pine and zest - not sure if those are hops or the spruce tips. The taste starts with somewhat plain caramel sweetness, followed by soft and piney bitterness - the spruce is much more evident here. Overall, a nice sweet and piney ale.

Thank you kermis! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ Billie's Craft Beer Fest 2017. Golden orange. Nose is nice low dank herbal hop. Oily basic pine, herbal, citrus, low biscuit malt. Pleasant easy drinking hop oil. Spruce Tip’s probably add the pine oil characters on top of everything else. Not bad & pleasant surprise coming from Romania.
