Bottle thanks to ChrisO. It pours clear amber with a thick yellow-white head. The nose is pine, varnish, spiced, lemon meringue pie, citrus peel and earth. The taste is bitter, pine needles, soapy, lemon peel, mild caramel, light spice and resin with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent.

From the July 2014 3R6P gathering. +++ Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a clear pale yellow color with a medium sized foamy white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was tangy and sweet Pez, vague fruits and artificial sugar. The flavor was tart and bitter bread dough, Pez and citrus. Medium length finish. Light to medium body. Meh.
